William Gordon and Margaret Cooper's 3rd daughter Christina (c28 Feb 1802) married James Tawse, a carter. They  were living in Margaret St, Stonehaven in 1841 which is also where Christina died on 1 June 1860. James Tawse survived until 9 April 1873. They had 6 children and their son George (c26 Jan 1824) was the nephew recorded staying with his aunt Rebecca Gordon (nee Cassie) in the 1851 census for Manse Field, Fetteresso. Our interest is the Tawse line and in particular James and Christina's second child Robert Tawse (c14 Oct 1825). Their other children that we know of were Margaret (c1 May 1827), William (c24 Apr 1830), Gordon (c15 Dec 1834) and James (c15 Jul 1841).
Hope this helps some!

Looks as though there is possibly a will available for download on ScotlandsPeople  for William Gordon jnr (7 pages) - most of it will be legalise, with abt 1 page of will, but they can often yield really useful info.

The will of William Gordon senior (husband of Margaret Cooper) of Pittyot is also available on Scotland's People, reference SC5/41/6 Stonehaven Sheriff Court, 1837. William died 4 Dec 1835.
