GORDON, Helen 1
User ID: C159. Helen married John DUFF of Culbin, son of Alexander DUFF of Drummuir, MP and Provost of Inverness and Katherine DUFF.1 (John DUFF of Culbin was born in 1701 1 and died in 1743 1.) Marriage Notes: "The writer (of 'An Appeal to the Gratitude of Britons') evidently imagined that the Alexander Duff, midshipman and master's mate, who was among the killed was the captain's son. This Alexander, with his brother Thomas, afterwards Colonel Gordon of Park, were the sons of Lachlan Duff, W.S., youngest son of John Duff of Culbin and his second wife, Helen Gordon of Park. Thomas had joined the ship with Norwich just before the battle, and Alexander died in his arms." (page 267) |
