General Notes:
"2. John Gordon of Cuffurach (ibid.) The Balbithan MS. says he married James Harper's daughter, and 'has succession' (which I have quite failed to trace). He is referred to in the following data:
1624, August 24. John Gordon 'in Cochurrach' was a recusant (Cramond's 'Church of Ordiquhill').
1630, January 14. John Gordon 'of Coharrach' was ordered to be excommunicated for Popery and nonconformity. He declined to conform, and was stated, on June 1, 1630, to be at Berwick ('Privy Council Register').
1630, Dec. 23.John Gordon of Cohorrache, and his wife Janet Harper, were ordered to go into ward at Blackness Castle within 15 days. They had already been excommunicated for non-conformity: had been sent up to the Council by Lord Gordon (June and July, 1630), and promised either to conform or leave the country. But they had returned to their houses and scandalous life ('Privy Council Register').
1631, March 11. Execution by James Thome, messenger, against John Gordon of Coharroche, and Janet Harper, his spouse, for delivery of his houses and entering himself in ward in the Castle of Blackness.
1651, Oct. 7. It was reported to the Synod of Moray that Janet Harper, 'goodwyff of Cofurrow,' a suspended Papist, had given satisfaction (Cramond's 'Synod of Moray,' p. 112).
