Thomas GORDON [P413] = Isabel SCOTLAND [P414]
Thomas GORDON
Christened 20 May 1781, Arngask Parish, Fife1
Died 16 Dec 1870, Kinross2
Occupation: Servant at Rushfield, Annafrech, Kinross and Carrier
Cause of death: Bronchitis
Arngask par. was formerly split between Fife, Kinross & Perth but was made wholly within Perthshire in 1891.
Annafrech has had a multitude of spellings (see "Kinross-shire and it's owners"). At the time of Thomas GORDON the owner (but not necessarily the occupier) was one of the Flockhart family.
Ext. 1841 Census of Kinross, Kinrossshire:
(a) Description of Enumeration District 6: "So much of the Parish of Kinross as lies on the South and South West thereof including all the Houses on the Great North Road from Thomas Gordon's to Gairney Bank inclusive then Hatch Bank, Annafrech, Rushfield ...".
(b) The entry for Hawthorn Vale: "Thomas Gordon, age 59, carrier, born [in Scotland but not in Kinrossshire]".
Hawthorn Vale is shown on the main North-South road on the OS 1st Ed map and is still a residence today.
(c) The census has no other mention of Rushfield (maybe it was empty) and Annafrech is occupied by a William Normand.

Died BEF 1842
Possible births (spec), Ext. Idx. OPR c. for Tulliallan par., Perthshire:

Isabel Scotland to James Scotland and Janet Lawson, 16 Mar 1788
Born 10 Jul 1805, Auchtertool par., Fife
Died Feb 1888, Kinross3
Born 25 Oct 1807, Kinross
Ext. OPR c. for Kinross par., Kinross: "John Gordon, son of Thomas and Isabel Scotland, servant to Mr. Beveridge, parish of East Balliol, born 25 October and baptised November 1, 1807 by Mr. Buchanan".
I need to call the above record again. There is no "East Balliol", however there is a testament lodged at the SRO (SC22/44/4 pp121) of a Thomas Beveridge of Easter Balado, a farm east of Kinross. It seems, however, that there were a large number of Beveridges who were mostly related and most seem to have been local land-owners.
