GORDON, James

  General Notes:

'...the chief people of the Inveraven group involved were the Achnascra Gordons, including Adam Gordon in Achnascra, with his sons, Alaster, Patrick, and James. The last was captured and killed, for on 11th June 1635 (Privy Council Register, 2nd series, vol. vi. p. 23), the Marquis of Huntly, who had been liberated from his confinement in Edinburgh in April 1635, sent to the Council "ane post with the head of James Gordon, son of Adam Gordon of Auchnacrie" (Achnascra?), "who wes slain in the taking, and is one of the rebellis conteanit in the said Marquis his commission. Quhilk head wes delyvered to the Provost and Bailleis of Edinburgh to be sett up be thame upon the Nether Bow."'
