Thomas Gordon of Middleton Court and Charmouth

Son of Robert Gordon of [Kingsgate Kent and] Ghent (q.v., d. 1768) and grandson of Hon. William Gordon (q.v., d. 1739), who had owned Hall Head or Hallhead estate. This is almost certainly the Thomas Gordon who had married the sister of John Fisher's wife, and who died of Charmouth c. 1855, and was trustee of John Fisher for Luana and Union estates in St Elizabeth, Jamaica.

1. Will of Thomas Gordon of Charmouth Dorset [and of Middleton Court, Somerset] [made in 1841] proved 05/06/1855. He left his property in Dorset and Somerset and in London (the latter of which had come to him through his wife Jane Charlotte) to her for life, and then to his nieces Marian Short and Louisa Power Short. He left his wife an annuity of £1000 p.a. and left his property in Jamaica to his wife and to his nephew John Campbell Fisher in trust to support the annuity, then to pay £100 p.a. to his niece Eliza Susan James and the residue to his nieces Marian and Louisa Power Short.
