| George Gordon was out in the '45, and his name appears in the list of those who were specially excepted from the general amnesty, which was granted by the Act of Parliament some years after the rebellion. His estates appear to have been granted by the Duke of Cumberland, by a factory dated 1746, to James Chalmers, printer, Aberdeen, probably a friend of the family, as the lands appear in possession of George Gordon's son, Robert, in due course. The plunder of Mrs. Gordon's house in Aberdeen by the Duke of Cumberland and General Hawley in 1746, is fully detailed in Jacobite memoirs, where the lady's statement is printed at length.5 | ||
