GORDON, Mary 1
User ID: G421. Mary married Unnamed GRAY of Schivas, son of GRAY of Schivas and Unknown.1 (Unnamed GRAY of Schivas was born about 1590.) Marriage Notes: "Mary (Gordon), married a Gray of Schivas and thus increased the influence of the Abergeldies in Buchan, for her brother-in-law Farquharson was the constant companion of Nathaniel Gordon of the Gight family, who was ultimately executed. She gave a great deal of trouble to the Ellon Presbytery, which excommunicated her in 1668 (Mair's Ellon Presbytery Records). 'A View of the Diocese of Aberdeen' (Collections for a History of the Shires of Aberdeen and Banff, p. 334) declares that the Grays of Schivas were 'still Roman Catholicks' in 1732." |
