Hi Christine, I have re-checked my copy of SEM. ROBERT GORDON is mentioned twice (pages 135 and 136) as "ROBERT GORDON in Reisk son of ALEXANDER GORDON in Dalcharn". There is a statement by DONALD BANNERMAN on page 137 that he was "informed by Lady Stafford's Ground Officer that ROBERT GORDON in Reisk one of the persons mentioned in the warrant was from home" (ie, not at home). Is it possible that the B in Balcharne was mistaken for a D when the statements were transcribed?
