GORDON, Patrick Officer of the Polish Army, Colonel 1
- Born: About 1605
- Died: After 1657
General Notes:
"1794- Patrick. 1651 ? Col., 'now in service of the king of Poland, a brave gentleman and good souldier ... he is in good favor and credit with the king of Poland' (Earls of Sutherland, 474).
Son of Robert, of Gollachie, 'descended from the familie of Cairnborrow' (ibid., 474), who gave trouble to the reformers. He may be the same as 'Steelhand,' though the latter does not appear in the Polish army, and then as Capt., till 1657. Cousin of John, 1756, and Robert, 1803."
