notes

From http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~alanmilliken/rega...

In 1487, King James III granted to James Barbour and his son John Barbour, chaplain, ‘ward of all and singular the lands of the late Andrew McNaucht wherever they are within the Kingdom of Scotland until the heirs of the same will have recovered hereditary sasines’[1]. Andrew was probably killed at the battle of Kirkconnel in 1484 repelling the Duke of Albany, King James III’s eldest son. It would take nearly fourteen years before Andrew’s daughters successfully recovered their hereditary rights to the lands of Crogo and Dalquhairn. In 1498, King James IV granted Egidia and Marion, the co-heiresses of Andrew McNaucht of Crogo, each a precept of sasine as heir-portioners[2]. The Laird of Crogo had three daughters in all: Egidia married Roger Gordon fourth son of William Gordon of Lochinver, Marion married Cuthbert Amuligane and Janet married John Gordon son of Alexander Gordon of Auchenreoch.

Therefore

http://www.geni.com/people/Alexander-Gordon-of-Auchenreoch/60000000... married ....

His son John Gordon married Janet, daughter of the Laird of Crogo

Her sister Egidia "married Roger Gordon fourth son of William Gordon of Lochinver"

Who would be Roger Gordon I believe
