  • Notes 
    • Parentage is disputed. Poss. son of Lady Elizabeth HAY, as she was George’s mistress. Ancestor of the Gordons of Light.

      a  Lord Byron claimed descent from Annabella through his mother Catherine, daughter of George Gordon, 12th Lord of Gight. Byron wrote: "By her [Annabella], he [the 2nd Earl of Huntly] left four sons: the third, Sir William Gordon, I have the honour to claim as one of my progenitors." [1]
