Note:
In the list of John Gordon's sons contained in Cadets of Lesmoir: Leichestoun, the author(s) lists Alexander and Harry respectively as the 6th and 7th sons of their father. It also states that Patrick, the third son, is not mentioned in the Balbithan manuscript. That may account for the discrepancy in numbering.
"1633, November 16. - Harry Gordon of Auchannassie received from the Bishop of Aberdeen the lands of Glassaugh which James Ogilvie had resigned (Great Seal)."
