CUMMING, Daughter 'in Hillside of Balveny' ¹

   User ID: G159.

  General Notes:

PARENT

The placing of Harry Gordon's wife as the daughter of George Cumming is based, speculatively, on the location and date, and should therefore be treated with caution.

Daughter married Harry GORDON of Achlochrach, son of George GORDON 3rd of Beldorney and Isobel GORDON.¹ (Harry GORDON of Achlochrach was born about 1615.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Harry Gordon of Achlochrach

He was the youngest of the three sons of John (see Note below) Gordon of the three sons of John Gordon of Beldornie, and settled in Achlorach in Glenrinnes. He married a daughter of Cumming of Hillside of Balveny, by whom he had two sons:

(1) Harry Gordon, II of Achlochrach.

(2) Thomas Gordon. The Birnie MS., (pg 263) says he lived at Achlochran; but he seems to be identical with Thomas Gordon, who dwelt at Achnastank (p. 276). I treat him separately under Achnstank.

(3) Ann Gordon; married Thomas Grant, and died without issue."

from Gordons of Laggan and Achlochrach

Note:

As explained in the main Notes the 3rd laird of Beldornie was George, not John, Gordon. ¹
