What have you for Gordons? They were cousins, and succeeded to the Viscountcy of Kenmure & Lochinvar. I am a descendant of the Gordons of Penninghame and Kenmure and am currently trying to straighten out that line.
Cheers, Jim Gordon

I only have the Penninghame MI's.

Have been through the Gordon's buried there .

This one gives James GORDON and wife Mary COULTER:

287
James GORDON who died at Black Bull Hotel 17 August 1886 aged 54 yrs. and his wife Mary COULTER who died 28 October 1902 aged 70 yrs.
There are others named on the haedstone, but not sure whether the above is any connection. If they are, I can give you the information.

Cupcake --

Tx for the info. I was hoping for something older than that.
 Anyway, two questions:
1) You said you've "been through the Gordons buried there." Does that mean there are other Gordons other than James & Mary?
2) What is the significance of the MI after Pennygame?
3) If there are no other Gordons buried there, where might the Gordons of Penninghame (1630s - 1715) be buried?
Cheers, Jim

jimgordo1,

The Gordon burials are much later than 1630s - 1715. I only have the Penninghame Old Kirkyard MI's. The MI stands for Monumental Inscriptions - lists all the burials that have headstones, in that cemetery.

As I am not from this area, I do not know of other cemeteries . You mention Kemmure in your first post, there maybe a cemetery there.

Just a thought, there is a possibility your ancestors were buried without a headstone, and may never find their burial place, as with my GGG Grandparents.

Sorry I wasn't able to help. Good luck with your search.
