John Gordon (Aberdeen MP)
John Gordon (c.1655 – 24 August 1730) was a British politician and merchant. He was a Member of Parliament from 1708 to 1710.
==Earlier life==
Gordon was the son of John Gordon, an Aberdeen merchant, and his wife Christian Henderson. The younger John married his first cousin Janet Gordon, whose father Alexander represented Aberdeen in the Parliament of Scotland. During the 1680s, John was a factor at Campvere, the staple port for Scotland in Friesland. During this time (in 1682), he was made a burgess of Elgin. He continued to do business in Rotterdam until at least 1702.
At the outbreak of the Glorious Revolution at the end of 1688, John's uncle Alexander was elected Lord Provost of Aberdeen and was a staunch supporter of the new king, serving as provost until 1690. John was likewise a devout Presbyterian, and had his share in the political life of Aberdeen: he was a councillor of the burgh from 1705 to 1709, and served himself as provost from 1706 to 1708. He was the first to sign a loyal address from the council to Queen Anne upon the repulse of the Jacobite attempt at landing in the Firth of Forth.〔
