GORDON, John of Glencat, younger

   User ID: G630.

  General Notes:

"The first (of three students from Gregory Farquharson's Catholic school at Strands in Glenlivet who went on to Scots College Paris) was John Gordon of Glencat who was at the Glenlivet School from summer 1720 until summer 1721. He was ordained deacon in Paris, but afterwards apostatised and wrote a diatribe against the Catholic Church. Later, however, he repented and did a lot of good for the Catholic Church by acting as an agent in London for Bishop Alexander Smith, the Vicar Apostolic for the Lowland District of Scotland."
