Gordon, liar of Tillyangus. This may
be the William Gordon of Tillyangus,
who married on Nov. 26, 1641, Marjory

Tillideask, now called Wells" (Ellon
Register). William Gordon of Tilly-
angus in 1640 got a patent to raise a

on the Muir of Rhynie on Father Blak-
hal while the latter was riding from
Strathbogie to Cromar ("Brieffe Narra-
tion of the Services done to Three Noble
Ladyes,' pp. 105-107). Hugh Gordon

Although the Balbithan omits his Chris-
tian name, Patrick Gordon was the son of
David, I. of Nethermuir. Comparatively
little is known about him ; the following bald
items serving to trace his appearances in
documentary evidence : —
1602, May 5. — Sasine was granted to
Patrick Gordon of Nethermuir on the lands
of Knaven and Nethermuir.
1602, May 14. — Sasine was granted to
Katherine Lumsden, spouse to Patrick Gor-
don of Knaven, on the lands of Nethermuir,
with pertinents ("Aberdeen Sasines")
