from Chiefs of Grant

Note:

The Chiefs of Grant links this Jean Gordon to the Gordon of Park family, but she is not mentioned in the Park section of the Balbithan MS as being a daughter of any of the wives of the lairds of Park.The dates suggest she may be of this generation, but she may, just possibly be of the next. Jean's daughter, named Helen, may indicate her mother was Sir John's last wife. 1 2
