Marriage Notes:
"In the midst of these civil tumults Lord Lewis Gordon, third son of the Marquis of Huntly, was married to the Laird of Freuchie's eldest sister, Mary Grant. Under the date of November 1644, Spalding writes : -
' About this tyme Lues Gordone, sone to the Lord Marques, is mareit to Mary Grant, dochter to vmquhill Schir Johne Grant of Freuchie, vtherwayes callit the Laird of Grant, by whome he gat 20,000 merks, as wes said.'
This marriage at first does not appear to have had the approbation of the Laird, who was for the time estranged from his cousins of the house of Gordon. His mother, at this juncture, made an effort to bring matters to a more conciliatory bearing, and perhaps she was partly successful." (page 258)
"Mary (Grant), married (1.), in 1644, Lord Lewis Gordon, with issue ; (2.) James (Ogilvy), second Earl of Airlie, without isssue." (Pedigree)
