  General Notes:

"It is probable that the latter (Alexander Gordon Merchant in Holland) had a daughter, who married Alexander Gordon, Collector of Customs in Aberdeen, of the Lesmoir family, whose son became Sir Alexander Gordon, 7th Bart, of Lesmoir; for in his Pedigree of the Lesmoir family Harperfield says that this Alexander Gordon (the Collector) married Isobel, daughter of Alexander Gordon, merchant in Rotterdam, younger son of Francis Gordon of Craig.

I have some linen traycloths spun by Alexander Gordon's wife with the arms of Lesmoir, Baronets of Nova Scotia, and the badge and the initials A^SG. and his crest, and her name 'Isobel Gordon' 1758 all woven therein."
