General Notes:

"1648, April 13. - James Gordon, younger of Newton, compeared before the Presbytery, and being charged with neglect of worship confessed with grief his accession to the late rebellion, and subscribed the Covenant, and ordained to do penance in his own Parish Church (Davidson's Garioch, p. 302). His father refused to subscribe about August 17 in the same year, but was forced to do so in March, 1650, and removed from the eldership the following month."
"1663, August 20. - James Gordon of Newton was declared fugitive at the instance of the King's Advocate, and Robert Forbes, late Tutor of Craigievar, and Margaret Lindsay, his spouse, for the slaughter of Alexander Lindsay of Williamston, her father Records of the Justiciary Court of Edinburgh ; Scot.

"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'."
