Hello,
Re Charles Gordon;
I came to a standstill re my ancestors from Tomintoul; I was looking for a John Gordon and Jean Cummin- these names were wrong and their names are now Peter Gordon and Jane Cumming; relatives who never met grandparents assume everyone was called John and their accent affected spelling.

One of Peter Gordon's sons was a Charles; and I have found info on a site dedicated to Grants and Gordons of Kirkmichael (also Cameron) the spelling of the farms they lived on kept changing, it was called Fordmouth but has been recorded as Fuiedmuth, also Gaullrigg where my Grant family lived has been recorded as Gawlairg and other variations.

I have found another Charles Gordon born at Fordmouth, in 1766, probably a brother of my ancestor Peter.
I was told about these Gordons coming over from Aberdeenshire with General Gordon of Glenbucket by someone in the Tourist info office.
ARE ANY OF MY gORDON ANCESTORS CONNECTED TO YOURS?  i THINK ALL THE MEN NAMED cHARLES WERE NAMED AFTER bONNIE pRINCE cHARLIE.

According to my research, Charles' mother was Lillias McHardy and Elspet Stuart's father was William Stuart of Ballantruan and her mother (his wife) was Elspet Cameron.

You wouldn't by any chance know which Elspet Cameron married William Stuart? I am trying to find the one that married William Blair but there were two born in 1769, one to Donald Cameron & Janet Fife/Fyfe 23/5/1769 and one to Alexander Cameron & Margaret McQueen 12/11/1769. Could one of these ladies be wife of William Stuart?
