  General Notes:

"Katherine Gordon (or M K William). - On June 6, 1643, Katherine Gordon married her fellow parishioner, William 'McCullie, in the Correis.' They had a son, baptised Alexander, on March 7, 1644 - Thomas Mclnnes in Dounan, and Alexander Gordon in Minmoir, witnesses; and a daughter, Isobell, baptised August 17, 1645 : witnesses, John Stuart in Nether Downan, and John Stewart in Delmore. There is a flat stone (the oldest) in Inveravon Churchyard, inscribed : - 'Heir lyes ane honest man caled William McWillie, who livid in the Cories, who departed the 10 of June,1685; and Ketren Gordene, his spouse.' Tradition says that the gravestone was carried to Inveravon from Glenlivet by eight of the MacWilliams. It is thought likely that Katherine Gordon was of the family of Minmore, as Alexander Gordon is one of the witnesses to the baptism of their first-born child, who was named Alexander, probably after him. There were M' Willies in the Corries in 1750. The family of MacWilliams, who have been resident at Delgarvan, on the Ballindalloch estate, at least since 1763, are believed to have removed there from the Corries. The members of the Delgarvan family are interred under the flat stone above mentioned, and also in a grave by the side of it. There is a tradition that the MacWilliams came to Inveravon from the Parish of Botriphnie."
