Description:He was succeeded by his elder son Alexander as second laird, who is said to have been served heir to his father in 1578; he married Margaret, daughter of Sir John Grant of Freuchie (marr. contr. 20 Feb. 1560). Their eldest son, George, was served heir to his father, Alexander of Beldorney, in the lands of Beldorney and others in the barony of Keithmore or A uchindoune, 20th Feb. 1627 (R etours). Their second son, according to the family pedigree, was Alexander Gordon of Killihuntly, commonly called Sandy Mor, ancestor of what may be called the later lairds of Beldorney, who came in many years afterwards. Sir John Gordon of Findlater was the 3rd son of George, 4th Earl of Huntly; and Alexander Ogilvy of that ilk and Findlater had married Elizabeth, daughter of A dam Gordon, Dean of Caithness. Alexander Ogilvy, disinheriting his own son by his first wife, Lady Janet A bernethy, known as James Ogilvy of Cardell, settled his baronies of Ogilvy and Findlater on Sir John Gordon, reserving his own and his wifes liferent in 1546. In this way Beldorney came into the possession of Gordons descended from the Earl of Huntly. Moreover Sir John Gordon married the widow of the above Alexander Ogilvy, another Elizabeth Gordon. Much trouble resulted from those proceedings, and also after litigation an arbitration was made in 1566, by which the lands and barony of Findlater were assigned to Jam6s Ogilvy, and those of A uchindown and Keithmore to Sir A dam Gordon, thereafter of A uchindown and Gartly, brother of Sir John; Beldorney remained in possession of the descendants of George, the son of A dam, Dean of Caithness. Messrs Wilsone and Duffus, advocates, A berdeen, kindly sent me in 1893 copies of a very brief pedigree of the Beldorney and Wardhouse families, and of a memorandum of some details respecting them. This showed the relationship between the older and later Gordon(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
