General Notes:
'HE was the eldest son of William Gordon in Minmore, to whom he was served heir August 24, 1767. He was a captain in the Jacobite army, and commanded Prince Charlie's bodyguard at Culloden. According to the official return of the rebels, he had "behaved discreetly and protected the houses of Sir Harry Innes and several ministers..."
...1767, December 26. He renounced the lands of Minmore and Downan in favour of the Duke of Gordon. On September 24, 1771, George Gordon of Gight had sasine on Minmore (Banffshire sasines).'
'He is probably the John Gordon in Minmore, for whose mortcloth 18s was paid on August 11, 1776. Similar sums were paid on December, 1772, and February 18, 1776, for mortcloths to Minmore's wife, which looks as if he had been twice married'
