Biography

Daughter was born about 1533. She remarried William Gordon of Terpersie, the uncle of her daughter's husband.

William Gordon of Terpersie, to whom, on 7th May 1552, George, Earl of Huntly, with consent of his Countess, Lady Elizabeth Keith, sold the lands of Toldow, Brachlie, Ballintober, Balintorre, and others in the Lordship of Aboyne. He married Margaret Ogilvy, and they had a charter from William, Bishop of Aberdeen, of the lands of Terpersie, Warakston, Bogyshalloch, &c.; paying therefor the sum of £12 15s., with customs, &c., dated I2th July 1556 (Reg. Mag. Sig., xl., 231)." from Records of Aboyne ^[1]

"William Gordon was twice married. His first wife was Margaret Ogilvy. The Balbithan MS. says she was 'the laird of Banff's daughter,' and widow of Alexander Gordon of Strathawen, a descendant of the third Earl of Huntly and one of the founders of the Gordons of Cluny. By her first husband, who was succeeded by his brother John, she had a daughter Janet, who married her second husband's nephew, James Gordon, II. of Birkenburn. The 1600 Gordon MS. agrees when it makes Margaret Ogilvy a daughter of Sir Walter Ogilvy of Dunlugas." from Cadets of Lesmoir: Terpersie ^[2]
