Thomas was born in 1352, the child of John Gordon.
He is said to have had 16 sons by three different wives.[1]
Along with his brother he is considered by some to be the line of the "true Gordons," as opposed to the Gordons of Huntly who actually assumed the Gordon name after marrying into the family on the female side.
