from Gordons Under Arms
"David (McWilliam), his (David McWilliam, elder, of Auchmore's) son, married Jane, daughter of James O'Laggan, and died while a young man, leaving her a widow with several children. She was prevailed upon to dispose of Pittivaich and the mill to Alexander Duff of Braco, her husband's cousin, in terms as little creditable to him as disreputable to herself, it being constantly reported in that part of the country that she sat down in the mill dam to stop the mill that he might take infeftment of it, the miller refusing to do it. Be this as it may, her children were reduced to great distress, for which Braco appeared perfectly indifferent, being a man callous to humanity, as well as natural affection, if he could by any means gratify his thirst for the acquirement of lands. The daughter married John Forbes of Keithack, son to Gordon Arthur Forbes, and left several children."
