Biography

George Gordon 'of Tockington' was identified in the marriage settlement of John Gordon of Wincombe Park as one of the trustees; in the will of John Gordon, his executors were his brother George Gordon and his wife Maria, who claimed the compensation for the Glasgow estate. Tockington is close to Olverston in south Gloucestershire, leading to the conclusion that the will below is of the same man.
