"XIV. Robert Gordon of Hallhead and Esslemont.

He married first a French lady, Madeline, daughter of Comte de Babktin ; had issue one daughter,

Mary Anne Madeline Rabutina Clementina. She married John Stevenson, and had issue."

from The Thanage of Fermartyn

Note:

There is clearly some confusion over the name of Robert Gordon's first wife. 'Comte fe Babktin' seems possibly to be a corrupt form of 'Rabutin'. Other than than that, who can say?
