GORDON-HALYBiTJRTON.— This name was
borne by Lord John Frederick Gordon (son of the
9th Marquis of Huntly), who died in 1878, at the
age of 79. He left no issue. His brother Cecil
to'olk the name of Goi'don-Moore.
HAMILTON-GORDON.— This name was as-

(2) Harriett, Viscountess Hamilton, widow of John,
eldest son of the 1st Marquis of Abercorn. The
