This family, a branch of the ancient and | ennobled line of the same name in Scotland, is stated to have gone from Berwickshire to Ireland during the period of the civil wars in North Britain. From the imperfect state of the Scotch records, and the destruction of family papers, the particulars of the descent cannot be traced with accuracy, but we find a friendly intercourse and acknowledgment of consanguinity subsisting between the Irish branch and the parent stock. Many years after the period of the settlement of the former in the sister island, Lord Adam Gordon, a general in the army, fourth son of Alexander, second Duke of Gordon, during a visit to that country, resided with his cousin, John Gordon, of Florida, and at a subsequent epoch, in the year 1783, the intercourse was renewed upon the occasion of some members of the Gordon family visiting Scotland, when they were received with much kindness by Alexander, fourth Duke of Gordon, who fully recognized the relationship.
