GORDON, George of Tombae
- Born: About 1520
- Marriage (1): GRANT, Janet
General Notes:
"Alexander Gordon had also two natural, or perhaps 'handfasted' sons, George of Tombae and William of Delmore, who were legitimised by a charter issued at Perth on 24th June 1553 under the Great. Seal, where we learn that 'the Queen gave letters of legimation to William Gordon and George Gordon, natural sons (bastardis filiis naturalibus) of Alexander Gordon of Straithowin.' It will be noticed that William is given first, whereas the 'Balbithan MS.' gives him second. It is much more likely, however, that William was the elder, as he got the lands of Delmore under the shadow of the paternal castle of Drumin, whereas Tombae. lay further to the east, probably on much less fertile land, as compared to Delmore, which was watered by the Avon and the Livet."
