John married Frances Charlotte GORDON, daughter of Mr Alexander GORDON Operatic Singer and Antiquary and Unknown, on 30 May 1763 in Charleston, Siuth Carolina, USA.¹ (Frances Charlotte GORDON was born about 1738.)

  Marriage Notes:

"From an old diary kept by a South Carolinian about a century ago, General De Saussure has ascertained for me that one Frances Gordon was married, on the 30th May 1763, to John Troup, the same, it may be presumed, whose name appears as one of the witnesses of the will. From a historical sketch of the St Andrew's Society of Charleston, which accompanies its printed rules, the office-bearers and members can be traced from its foundation. In 1757 John Troup was admitted a member of St Andrew's Club. The Revolution and War of Independence interrupted the regular meetings of the Club, but its archives and insignia were preserved, and when it was reorganised under its later name on St Andrew's Day, 1787, John Troup was chosen assistant treasurer; and from 1790 to 1794 he filled the office of vice-president after which his name disappears from the list of members."
