GORDON, Son Inherited Estate of John Gordon, Poland

  General Notes:

'They renamed to "von Gordon", still with the 3 boars' heads in the coat of arms, and started a "dynasty" in Germany around the castle of Laskowitz (destroyed in 1945, today in Poland).'

Note: This family of Gordons of Laskowitz is referred to in Scots in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 16th to 18th Centuries: The Formation and Disappearance of an Ethnic Group by Peter Paul Bajer. He in turn refers to The Gordons of Coldwells, Ellon, now Represented by the Family of Von Gordon of Laskowitz by J. M. Bulloch (1914).
