GORDON, George 1
User ID: A443. General Notes: "The manuscript here under Proneys name has fallen into another mistake in calling this Alexander Laird of Strathawen the second son of Alexr third Earl of Huntly, whereas indeed he was only his third son : for the said Alexander third Earl of Huntly had only four Sons, viz. George the Eldest who died without succession and of whom there is no memory, John the Second Lord Gordon of whom is come the Family of Huntly, Alexander the third Son who was Laird of Strathawn and thereafter of Cluny of whom is come the Family of Cluny, and the 4th son William Gordon who was Bishop of Aberdeen." |
