Notes:

Alastair Brodie (1666-1730), son of John Brodie and Catherine Paterson, had by his wife -Jean Morris, whom he married about 1692, the following children :-(1) William Brodie (1693- 1776 who was married at Glenbuchat 13th July, 1738. to Joan Brebner, with issue. He was in Cottoun 1744-1751; in Dalfrankie , 1752- 1776, both places in Glenbuchat parish. As a great favourite of William Duff (created in I759 Viscount Macduff and Earl Fife in peerage of Ireland, died I763), who purchased Glenbuchat 1737, it was his custom to give his lordship a glass of whisky to drink the health of his tenants, on the occasion of his yearly journey to Braemar. Having strong Jacobite leanings and sympathies, he was at once appointed a Sergeant of Horse in John Gordon of Glenbuchat’s regiment. Gordon, it may be explained here, joined the Pretender’s army soon after the Battle of Prestonpans, and is stated to have had under his command a numerous body of select gentlemen and private people. The Highland brooch worn by William Brodie, on the moor at Culloden, was long cherished by his descendants. In due course it came into the possession of the writer's grand-aunt, Mary Ann Brodie or Gauld (1828-1905) a native of Glenbuchat. To save the brooch from destruction, she, in 1888, presented it to Mr. Hugh Gordon Lumsden, laird of Clova, Lumsden, Aberdeenshire, to be placed in his private museum, where it may yet be seen (2) Alexander Brodie, and (3) John Brodie. One of these went south, the other fled the country to escape the vengeance of Anderson, the laird of Candacraig in the adjoining parish of Strathdon, and so nothing is known of their after careers. (4) Agnes Brodie and other daughters.
