GORDON, William of Keithmore 1
User ID: N244. General Notes: "21. I have not great knowledge of the Scholars who were at Scalan the first years that Mr. Duthie was there, but I can mention in particular Mr. William Gordon, son to Dr. Alexander Gordon of Keithmore and consequently nephew of Bishop Gordon. He was then a boy of great hopes and he afterwards turned out a young Gentleman of such excellent qualifications that no one ever knew him who did not esteem love him and his name was seldom mentioned without there being added to it the deserved praises. No wonder if his death, when he was in the twenty-seventh year of his age was much regretted by his friends." |
