KEITH, Daughter 'of Ravenscraig' ¹

   User ID: Z566.

Daughter married George GORDON 4th of Tilphoudie, son of John GORDON 3rd of Tilphoudie and Auchmenzie and Bisse CHEYNE, before 1623.¹ (George GORDON 4th of Tilphoudie was born about 1590 and died in January 1654 ¹.)

  Marriage Notes:

"Anna (Gordon) was the second wife of George Gordon of Tilphoudie, whose first wife was a daughter of ------- Keith of Ravenscraig. It may be noticed that Anna's grandmother was a Keith of Ravenscraig."

from Lesmoir

Note:

According to The Records of Aboyne
"George of Tilphoudie married, first, Anna Keith, the widow of Mr.
Alexander Keith, minister of Duffus."

This, it seems, is a confusion of the first laird of Tilphoudie and this George Gordon, the fourth laird. The first laird married Anna Sutherland who was the widow of John Keith, minister of Duffus.

However there were two other ministers named Alexander Keith, both of whom served the parish of Strathbrock or Uphall. They were grandson and great-grandson respectively of Andrew Keith of Ravenscraig through Andrew's illegitimate son James, so they were of the family mentioned in the Lesmoir reference. The wife of this George Gordon may have been a daughter of the elder of the two ministers. ^{1 2 3 4}
