Marriage Notes: "Katherine, the 'daughter of' James Gordon of Lesmoir, married Mr. James Elphinstone of Barnis (second son of Alexander, fourth Lord Elphinstone). By his marriage contract his father and his elder brother (fifth Lord Elphinstone) infefted him and his spouse in Balnaloith, Croftmorail and other lands in Kildrummy. In terms of a backbond, given on November 18, 1613, he restored these lands, which were granted only to further the marriage (Fraser's Lords Elphinstone of Elphinstone, i., 163). The dates would seem to indicate that she was a daughter of the first baronet of Lesmoir. By this marriage Elphinstone had a daughter." |
