Robert Gordon, Great Britain, owner in fee of
Windsor Lodge estate, St James's, put in a claim
for 353 slaves, but the £6252 12s given for them
was paid to Hibbert and Co., counter claimants
for the mortgagees and in virtue of a judgment of
Oct., 1827, for £15,589 (T.71, 1554, claim 169). He
also claimed for 167 slaves on the Paisley estate,
but again the Hibberts got £3135 in virtue of a
mortgage, July 24, 1800, of £15,589 (Ibid., claim
184). He is probably Robert Home Gordon, son
of Dr John Gordon (q. v.), who was co-respondent
in a divorce suit, 1794, with Mrs Biscoe, whose
husband was awarded £4000 damages. Gordon,
who married the lady, was said in 1794 to be
worth £7000 or £8000 a year. He lived in Albe-
marle Street, London, and bought the ancestral
estate of Embo. He died in 1826, and his widow,
who died in 1839, sold Embo to the ducal Suther-
lands.
