John Gordon (soldier)

In 1804 Gordon made a grand tour of Egypt, carving his name on many ancient monuments.

[4] Around 3,000 tenants from his estates on the Outer Hebrides were both evicted and forced to board emigrant ships to Canada in 1851 alone.

After the British government introduced the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 Gordon received a compensation payment of £24,964, as his six plantations on the Caribbean island of Tobago had included 1,383 slaves.

[3][5] The Cluny estate passed to his widow, Emily Gordon, who continued mass evictions and coercive emigration to Saskatchewan.
