Biography

Margaret was born in 1605. (Birth date seems unrealistic since a son was killed in 1612 Sources needed) Margaret Gordon ... ^[1] See https://www.ancestry.co.uk/genealogy/records/margaret-lady-of-kilquhanity-gordon-24-3djmzw3 indicating DOB 1581 which seems reasonable, but still needs Source.

To Quote "John MacNaught, of Kilquhanitie, married to Margaret Gordon, daughter of John Gordon of Airds, and granddaughter of John Sinclair, of Earlstown, "found surety on January n, 1542, to underly the law at the next justice-aire of Kirkcubright for art and part in the cruel slaughter of William Sinclair, of Auchinfranco." This William Sinclair was doubtless a relative of his wife's. The younger son of this same John, also named John, was killed in 1612, by Thomas Maxwell,of Arenyning, brother of Alexander Maxwell, of Logan.".
