Descendants of William Gordon

The Gordons are one of the great families of the north-east of Scotland,
and their surname has many suggested meanings, although the family were
almost certainly of Anglo-Norman descent. There is also a tale which makes
the first of the family the saviour of a Scottish king, in this case from a
wild boar. This is said to explain the boarsı heads which appear on the
Gordon arms.

The first certain record of the name places the family in the Borders
during the reigns of Malcolm IV and William the Lion. Richard de Gordon
appears in numerous charters, and probably died around 1200. Sir Adam de
Gordon was one of the wardens of the marches in 1300, he became a staunch
supporter of Robert the Bruce, and was one of the ambassadors sent to Rome
to petition the pope to remove the excommunication which had been placed on
Bruce after his murder of John Comyn. For his services the king granted to
Gordon the lands of Strathbogie, which had been confiscated from the Earl
of Atholl for treason.

The Castle of Strathbogie was to be renamed Huntly after a portion of the
Gordon lands in Berwickshire. In 1436 Sir ALexander Gordon was created Lord
Gordon, and his son was raised to the title of Earl of Huntly. The family
became embroiled in the deadly battle for power between the king and the
Douglases. Huntly was for the king, but when he moved his forces south, the
Earl of Moray, kinsman and ally of the Douglases, devastated the Gordon
lands and burned Huntly Castle.

The Gordons were recalled and soon defeated their enemies. After the fall
of the Douglases, the power of the Gordons grew unchallenged. Their control
over their lands was almost regal, and the chiefs are to this day fondly
referred to as ŒCock oı the Northı.

A grand new castle at Huntly rose from the ruins of the old, and it soon
rivalled any of the great houses of the realm. In 1496 Huntly Castle hosted
the marriage of the pretender, Perkin Warbeck, believed at the time to be
one of the missing sons of Edward IV (the Œprinces in the towerı), to Lady
Catherine Gordon. George, fourth Earl of Huntly, became Chancellor of
Scotland in 1547 and was a close confidant of the regent, Mary of Guise,
the mother of Mary, Queen of Scots.

The Gordons paid scant attention to the Reformation, remaining firmly
Catholic. However, they disagreed with the young queen; Huntly died at
Corricie, leading his men against the royal army, and his son, Sir John
Gordon, was later beheaded before Queen Mary at Aberdeen. The Gordons
eventually made peace with the Crown, and in 1599 the chief was created
Marquess of Huntly.

The second Marquess was a fierce supporter of the royalist cause in the
civil war, and his followers have passed into history as the Gordon Horse,
which figured so prominently in the campaigns of the great Marquess of
Montrose. Huntly was captured in Strathdon in December 1647 and was taken
to Edinburgh, where he languished until March 1649, when he was beheaded.
Lord Louis Gordon was restored to the family estates and titles in 1651,
and was raised to the highest rank of peerage as Duke of Gordon in 1684.

The Gordons fought on both sides during the Jacobite risings of 1715 and
1745. The second Duke of Gordon followed the standard of the ŒOld
Pretenderı at the Battle of Sheriffmuir in 1715. He later surrendered, but
although he was imprisoned for a short period, no further proceedings were
taken against him. The third Duke remained loyal to the Hanoverians when
Prince Charles Edward Stuart reasserted his fatherıs claim in 1745, but his
brother, Lord Louis Gordon, promptly raised a regiment of two battalions.
After Culloden he escaped to France, where he died in 1754. George, fifth
Duke of Gordon, was a general in the army and for a time governor of
Edinburgh Castle. He died without issue, and the dukedom became extinct.
The marquessate passed to a kinsman, from who the present chief decsends.

Another branch of the clan were created Earls of Aberdeen in 1682. The
fourth Earl was a Prime Minister in the mid nineteenth century. This
branch, too, were advanced to the dignity of Marquess, and established
their seat at Haddo House near Aberdeen.

1. William Gordon born 1714, Wymore, Clyde, Sutherland, Scotland,
occupation Farmer, married Unknown. William died NC.

15 April 1774. The Bachelor of Leith, Alexander Ramage, Master bound to
Wilmington in N. C. from Caithness and Sutherland in Scotland is forced by
distress of weather to put into Shetland. Taking advantage of this
situation the officers at the Port of Lerwick interview several passengers
and learn the genuine causes of many emigrants leaving Scotland, and going
to America. William Gordon saith that he is aged 60 and upwards, by trade a
farmer, married, hath six children who emigrate with him with the wives and
children of his two sons, John and Alexander Gordon. Resided last at Wymore
in the Parish of Clyde in the County of Sutherland, upon lands belonging to
William Baillie of Rosehall. That having two sons already settled in
Carolina, who wrote him encouraging him to come there, and finding the
rents of lands raised in so much that a possession in which his grandfather
paid eight merck scots, he himself at last paid sixty. He was induced to
emigrate for the greater benefit of his children being himself an old man
and lame so that it was indifferent to him in what country he died. That
his circumstances were greatly reduced not only by the rise of rents but by
the loss of cattle, particularly in the severe winter of 1771. That the
land on which he lived has often changed masters, and the rents have been
raised on every change; and when Mr. Baillie bought them they were farmed
with the rest of his purchase to one tacksman, (a middleman who leased a
large piece of land from the owner and sublet it in small farms.) at a very
high rent, who must also have his profits out of them. All these things
occurring induced him to leave his own country in hopes that his children
would earn their bread more comfortably elsewhere. That one of his sons is
a weaver and another a shoemaker, and he hopes that they may get bread for
themselves and be a help to support him.

HUGH P. WILSON v. JOHN J. MASTIN et a]-. Filed 20 Jan. 1868. Thomas W.
Mastin died intestate in McMinn Co. 4 July 1853 leaving a large estate,
including slaves, and his son John J. and brother John B. (of Ga.) were

wife of David Meriwether of Ga. The slaves were sold for distribution and
among them was a colored man by name of Jack Mastin,.bought by John J.
Mastin, who later sold him to WiIson. Wilson is being sued for balance due
on note. This is a voluminous law suit in which Wilson and his witnesses
claim that Jack Mastin now Jack Wilson is.not a slave for life but was
taken in some mamer by Thomas Mastin, who was in the Cherokee Nation
trading at a small place called Aile Culsah (various spellings), from his
mother Patsy Hamby a quarteroon whose husband was a fullblooded Cherokee
Indian, and whose.father was a free mulatto negro and mother was a white
woman in S.C.; that Mastin took Jack in 1827 when he was a suckling child
and raised him as a slave, I although he was a free person. Wilson has only
recently learned this from Hiram Overby. The Mastins and their witnesses
claim that Mastin bought Jack from one Edom or Needham Hamby on Conasauga
Creek near the boundary line dividing the white and Indian settlements,
that Jack's mother Amy died, the child was cuffed about, was sold to
Mastin,.and both he and the mother were Hamby's slaves. Aile-Culsah is near
the Tenn. -Ga. line in what is now Murray Co., Ga. Thomas Mastin also had
son William Wheeler who has died without having been married. Jemima
Mastin, widow of Thomas, died 15 Mar. 1859 intestate in McMinn Co. John J.
Mastin was born 14 Dec. 1830 and he remembers when Jack was brought home.

J., and David Meriwether all answer from Jackson Co., Mo. 1869, witness
L.D. Gordon deposes that he formerly lived on head of Sugar Creek in
Bradley Co. and is now moving to Sevier Co. but he lived at Aile Culsa from
1835 to 1854; that Bob McCamy and Thomas Hoyl also lived near there; that
he lived in Ark. from 1854 until 1862; that Patsey Hamby and Citiwager were
considered man and wife, they went to Ark. together, but that when he lived
near Patsey Hamby in Ga. the Indians had no formal marriage and the men
frequently had two or three wives-or women; that he lived on the Old
Federal Road leading from Pettitt's Old Stand in Polk Co. to the Ailcy
Culsa or 10th Dist. of Murray Co., Ga. 1868, witness Thomas Lesly, age
sixty-four, deposes that he has lived since 1818 in the 8th Dist.-of Monroe
Co. on the headwaters of Conasauga Creek, about seventeen miles from Athens
and twenty-five from Turtle Town, Polk Co.; that Edom Hamby told him that
he came from Habersham Co., Ga. and he left the country about 1839. 1869,
witness Ezekiel W. Boring, age fifty-four, deposes that he has lived in
Lesly neighborhood for over thirty years; that he knew Edom Hamby and his
black slave Amy and her mulatto son Jack; that Edom stabbed Joel Blackwell
and left the country. 1869, witness John M. Dodson, age fity-six, lived
near Needham Hamby. 1868, Charles A. and Sarah A. Proctor answer fiom Grant
Co., Ind. that they have seen the bill of sale (now lost) for Jack given by
