| This is a composite of information pulled together from various sources and cross-references. As one of those sources, 'The House of Gordon' (referred to below), appears either to have missed out a generation or two or to have mixed up a John with an Alexander, the following is not fully secure. However, the Earthlink web site referred to below seems to be clear about the family of General James. | |||||||||||||||
