It is recorded he had 6 sons & 3 daughters to his first wife then 2 sons & 2 d'ters to Margaret O & recorded that he died in 1575 (an error)

HOWEVER Douglas Baronage reported 8 sons & 5 d'ters to Margaret, meaning all children were hers so he did not marry the other woman

A charter for James & Margaret for lands of Erlesfield & Seggyden was dated 1546 & confirmed 28/1/1547

Biography of Margaret Ogilvie

The said James Gordon of Lesmoir, after the decease of Margaret Stuart, married Margaret Ogilvie, Lady Gartly, daughter of Sir Alexander Ogilvie of Findlater, knight,' who bore him sundrie sons, of whom two came to position,

1. . Thomas, the eldest. " His father gave to him the lands of Seggieden, and he married a gentlewoman called ????, who bare him sundrie sons and daughters. This Thomas was slain with his two sons, James and William, very brave gentlemen, under the Earl of Huntly's banner, on a field called Auchinachie, against George, Earl of Argyle," From him, according to Douglas, the Gordons of Buthlaw and Newtyle are descended. They, however, claim descent from another branch, as will be shown afterwards.
2. . Henry, of Dilspro. He married a daughter of the laird of Muchalls called Eraser, who married first, Gordon of Haddoch. Thereafter he married one called Agnes Hepburne, who had children. This Henry Gordon made a fair conquest in Buchan.
3. . Catharine, married to Blackball of Barra.
4. . Elizabeth, married to Knowis of Ashintilly.
