Title: George Wood-Smith's Aunt Lady Jane Maxwell
Posted by: Jeremiah Bjorgaard
Date: 17 October 2005

A local exploration group was interested in your grandfather's castle just to have the experience of seeing the beauty of it.  I became intrigued when they began to ask of it's history and came across your inquiry as to who Lady Jane Maxwell was (the one George spoke of).  

I'm sure you've read about Lady Jane who passed away in 1812, but that dates her as having passed some 68 years prior to your grandfather's birth.  So the question I'm sure you're asking is if he was speaking of her post-mortum. 

I did, however come across this castle-turned-church that if you have not already explored may help you:

It is even in Glasgow

Here is a page that has Lady Jane Maxwell, Duchess of Gordon.  From what I gather, there is a Gordon Castle, or atleast there was:

Hope I helped in some way!
