"George Gordon (8th of Knockespock) was succeeded in Knockespock by his son James, the West Indian nabob, and the latter was succeeded in turn by the descendants of his sister Margaret, who married a Brebner, then by the descendants of his sister Barbara, who married a Grant, and, thirdly, again, by the descendants of his elder sister, the Brebner- Gordons, who are now known as Fellowes Gordon - a peculiarly complicated story of succession."
