The Gordon Family Crest
These arms are given by Burke to the Gordons of South Carolina. They show that these Gordons descend from the Gordons of Beldornie, themselves issued from Adam Gordon, Dean of Caithness, fourth son of the first Earl of Huntly [at least, such is the Burke theory of this family]. These are not the arms of Major-General Gordon, Governor of Pennsylvania, greatgrandson of John Gordon, Laird of Britmore, descending from the Gordons, Lairds of Strathaven, a scion of the Setons, Lords of Gordon and Huntly.
