GORDON, Thomas in Cruchly

  General Notes:

"The Croughly Gordons, probably because they had good farming land, kept clear of the general unruliness of their kinsfolk, but they would hardly have been human if they had not sheltered the latter. So we find, on 31st March 1636, that Thomas Gordon in "Crochlie"— whose relationship, if any, with the main Croughly family is unknown— was charged with resetting rebels (Privy Council Register, 2nd series, vol. vi. p. 216)."

from Gordons of Tombae
Note: the family link of father to son here is speculative (see above), but from the sequence of dates, it may at least be a generation to generation link.
