GORDON, John of Milton of Noth ¹

  General Notes:

"JOHN, of Milton of Noth, described in the Balbithan MS. as a natural son. He seems to have gone abroad, for he is stated in the Familie of Innes to have been killed at the 'battle of Flanders'. He is probably the 'Captain Gordon' who, according to Ferguson's History of the Scots Brigade in Holland, was killed before Antwerp, August 13, 1584. Mr. Ferguson identifies him as the Gordon who served in the company of Colonel William Stuart in the brigade, 1579-81. He married Margaret Caldwell (Familie of Innes)."
