GORDON, John Jacobite 1745 ^{1 2}

   User ID: X623.

  General Notes:

"2133- John. 1745, assisted the rebels; had been a sergeant in Cope's army, but deserted. 1746, May 7, lurking (Rosebery's List, 28).
Schoolmaster, Tarrycroys, Keith (ibid., 28); described (p. 312) as a 'young dominy,' at 'Jannycroy,' Keith. It must have been a private venture, for there was no school at Tarrycroys in 1745, though the S.P.C.K. established one in 1765. He may be the elder brother of Charles, 2072, who is said to have gone with Cope, but who is named Alexander, 2061, in the Presbytery Records dealing with Cairnie."
