Note | Gothray was a curiously mixed character. He was undoubtedly an astute man of business and set the foundations of the prosperity which his family was to enjoy for the following century. The records are full of references to his numerous land transactions. With this ability he combined the morals of an ape: not only did he leave behind him two legitimate families but also a whole tribe of illegitimate children. Nor was this enough: on 21 November 1584 he was charged with the crime of incest with his niece, Katharine McCulloch. |
