Research Notes:
JEAN GORDON AND HARRY LUMSDEN
Jean Gordon, daughter of the Laird of Knockespock, is said to have been linked to the song by Robert Burns called "My Harry was a Gallant Gay" or "Highland Harry". Her husband is also said to have been a Gordon, some say of Rhynie, others of Avochie. The Harry Lumsdale of the tale is linked with Harry Lumsden of Auchindoir then 10th of Cushnie. If he was the gallant, then the Jean Gordon, born in 1739, was born too late to have been his lover when they were both young. It could of course have been an earlier Jean Gordon, niece of his mother Agnes Gordon, but as yet we have no firm information.

Marriage Notes:
" .... his (Harry Lumsden's) first wife was dead (she died in 1733), and he had married, in 1736, Margaret Foulis, the widow of Peter Gordon of Abergeldie. As she was the sister of Sir Archibald Foulis of Dunipace, who was executed at Carlisle in 1746, we can hardly be wrong in supposing that she was as ardent a Jacobite as her brother."
