from Gight




"Sir Patrick. As Patrick Gordon of Auchindoun he had a charter from Sir George Barclay of Gartly of the barony of Barkley, co. Banff, 2 April 1582. He must have been knighted not long after, as he appears as Sir Patrick in a charter of the same year. He and his wife had a charter of Auchindoun and Keithmore 18 December 1590, on the resignation of his brother James, who may have held it in wadset. He sold the lands on 2 May 1592 to Walter Ogilvy of Findlater, who nevertheless got a grant of them as forming part of Sir Patrick's forfeited estates. Sir Patrick was denounced a rebel 22 March 1591-92, for complicity in the attack of Donibristle and the murder of the Earl of Moray, and met his death at the battle of Glenlivet, 3 October 1594. He married, before January 1582-83, Agnes Betoun, natural daughter of Cardinal David Betoun and Mariota Ogilvy, and widow of George Gordon of Gight. By his wife, who survived him, he does not appear to have had issue." (page 539)
