Allanquoich Who was 'Papa Camlet'? The Gordons O' Girnoc				My Family - 'Camlet John' The Girnoc Farms Past Research Location Map Gordon Tombstones Sources Home
		John Gordon in Allanquoich died August 1782. He married Elspet McKenzie, who as his executrix gave up his inventory on the 1st of July 1783. There were owing to him debts due by Duncan Calder in Allanquoich, in a bill dated 16th March 1772; by John Gordon in Camlet, in a bill dated 21st of December 1781. His "stocking, corns, and cattle were valued at £10." The will was confirmed at Aberdeen, on the 19th of March 1784, Donald McKenzie in Allanquoich being the cautioner ("Aberdeen Commissariot") This is the only pre-marital (1782) reference to 'Camlet John' so far discovered: it is therefore important. It tells us 'Camlet John' was at the Camlet before he married Euphemia MacAndrew. Also that he had some connection with John Gordon in Allanquoich -  one would wishfully postulate, that 'Allanquoich John' was 'of family.' Note John Gordon of Allanquoich was married to Elspet McKenzie. The very name 'Camlet John' gave to his first daughter.
