Sorry,
Annie, I don't like to contradict you but when I say, as I do boringly often, "Never trust anything you find online", I do include commercial web sites of this sort, some of which peddle or parrot arrant nonsense in efforts to sell tartanalia. This specific information in this particular site may or may not be correct, but neither I nor
sdgillen can instantly tell whether or not it is.
May I suggest that the Gordons' own web site
https://www.houseofgordon.org/ is more likely to be a reliable source of information about the family (who, be it noted, do not call themselves 'Clan Gordon').
sdgillen, Annie is absolutely correct in saying that you need to pursue your own line carefully back in time. It's quite possible that any Gordons in Arbroath were connected to the clan if you could get back far enough, but the chances of that are small, and starting with the clan and trying to work forwards will get you nowhere.
