GORDON, James 4th of Newton 1
User ID: B516. General Notes: "It is doubtful whether James really held Newton or part of it. He is described in 1666 as 'sometyme of New Toun,' and he may be given the benefit of the doubt. He afterwards held the lands of Glennieston in Gartly." James married Janet BUCHAN, daughter of James BUCHAN 8th of Auchmacoy and Margaret SETON, about June 1652.1 (Janet BUCHAN was born about 1630.) Marriage Notes: "He (James Gordon of Newton) married Janet, eldest daughter of James Buchan of Auchmacoy by Margaret Seton, daughter of Pitmedden (Temple's Fermartyn, p.534 where he is called 'John,' though on p. 264 he is called 'James'). Janet was a sister of Major-General Thomas Buchan, who took part in the campaign of 1689, holding his commission from King James II. On June 24, 1652, 'Mr. Arthur Ore, Minister of Culsalmond, reported that he had proclaimed the banns of James Gordon of Newton with Janet Buchan, daughter to the laird of Auchmacoy, and had received testimony from the Minister of Logie that the banns were proclaimed in that Church'." |
