General Notes:
"Alexander Gordon of Bellmount, Tobago, made a fortune in that island. He is described in the 'Political State of Scotland,' 1788, as 'entirely independent' (p. 241). His brother Cosmo left him an 'annuity of £200 stg.' in the event that 'by the vicissitudes of fortune to which his property is exposed he shall be reduced in his circumstances so as to declare that he is not possessed, and has belonging to him, subjects to the value of £300 stg.' "
