GORDON, Harry in Tomachlaggan ^{1 2}

   User ID: L897.

  General Notes:

"We get a vivid glimpse into the difficulties of any prosecution by the fact that the Privy Council, on 4th December 1628, issued a warrant for the appearance of Harry Gordon in Tomachlaggan (on 27th January 1629), as a witness under protection, on behalf of John Grant in Ballindalloch. He and five other men similarly cited as having been present at the murder of Grant 'dare not compear to depone in that matter, they being rebels at the horn for the same crime.' "
