On the i8ih of August, 1604, Abraham Forbes appeared atAberdeen as a witness to a charter by which James Ogilvy of Bleraik granted to Marjorie Gordon, daughter of George Gordon of Cocklarachie, and future spouse of James Ogilvy, son and heir-apparent of the said James Ogilvy of Blerack, " the town and lands of Eister Toune of Auchlewchres, with the Milne and Milne lands in liferent for all the days of her life." She was the grandmother of General Patrick Gordon, that famous soldier of fortune who was the right hand man of Peter the Great ; who, when his own sovereign lost his crown at the battle of the Boyne, bewailed the fate that prevented him "giving proofs of my loyalty and what I can do " ; and of whom his biographer remarks : — " We can well believe that the hand which crushed the Strelitzes would have been heavy upon the Cameronians."
