  General Notes:

"A few years later (ie. after 1633) the wadset of Beldorney seems to have been transferred to John Lyon of Muresk, son of Alexander Lyon of Muresk. I have a note that George Gordon, younger of Beldorney, probably married a daughter of Lyon of Muresk, but I cannot find authority for this.Alexander Lyon was evidently a man of means; at his instance, and in his favour, the lands of Rothemay were apprised from William Gordon of Rothemay, who was killed in 1630; he thereupon assigned his rights in them to John Lyon, his eldest lawful son, who, however, assigned them to James Gordon, son of the deceased William, as appears in a Charter of Confirmation of the Barony of Rothemay in favour of James Gordon, dated Edinburgh, 19 April 1649.
