Gordon b.ca1817 found on the 1850 NH census. Also found were his wife Catherine ---, son Samuel M.,b1846 and daughter Marcia b.ca1842. A number of other Gordon families lived close by but I need help to connect any of them.

Faye, the time period for my Gordons is a bit sketchy. I can give you estimates. Old George Gordon was born ca 1750, location unknown, have been told Scotland. George A. Gordon, his son, I estimate at 1777, George A. Gordon's children: George b 1795 this date is from the census, Samuel 1796 <>, John 1797<>, Jesse 1798 <>, Joseph b 1799, this is also from the census. These are all guesses based on the two census dates I have. What really has me puzzled is why I can find no marriage or baptismal records for ANY of these Gordons. They were Presbyterians. I'm in South Carolina, and I'm a little limited by the web as to searching. Thanks for your interest Karen Patterson

I have a George Alexander Gordon (my great great grandfather) born in 1823 in Georgia; county unknown. We cannot find his parents. He married about 1846 and was living in Scott Co., MS in 1850. We estimate that he was married in either Tennessee or Alabama. His children were named: Charles Alexander, Caroline Malinda, James W., John T., Franklin P., Frances M., Joseph P., George H., Cynthia E., Amanda Elizabeth, Mary A., Martha, and William B. I estimate that his father was born around 1800. Margaret McCleskey, Arlington, TX

Faye, This John A. Gordon was born September 8,1801 and died June 21,1862. His chidren were William Blackwood Gordon, David Ervin Gordon, John Watson Gordon, Mary Isabella Gordon, Emma Jane Gordon, Louise P. Gordon, and Margaret Gordon. If this is the Gordon your are looking for. I do have some information on him. Tonya

For those of you that would like to help, I give my loudest PLEASE. I do not know where Old George Gordon was born. The first hint I have is that his son, George A. Gordon was born in PA. George, son of George A. was born in VA. 1795. Personally, I believe that he was born in an area of PA that was in a border dispute with VA. All speculation. Joseph b 1799, son of George A. Gordon was born in PA. The first proof I have of his existence is in the Allegheny Valley. He moved to Mercer Co., PA, where he lived until his death in 1858. I have found an Old George Gordon family that were all born in MD. There are a lot of name coincidences, but no proof. I have not found one single baptismal record for any PA Gordons. They were Presbyterian. Karen Patterson

Thomas was born ca 1809, near Castle Blaney, Co. Monaghan. Immigrated ca 1833-35 to NYC. Naturalized 6 November 1839 the Marine Court, NYC. Moved to Brooklyn 1840. Was a milkman living on Koscusko St. near Marcy until his death 1 April 1902. He married first Eliza BOYD, she died 25 March 1880 Married second Sarah LORD on 30 November 1881 When he died he was the oldest member of the Franklin Ave., Presbyterian Church. His parents were John GORDON and Margaret McKNIGHT. Possibly brother James born 1821 in Lisdonny, Co. Monaghan. Possible older brother Joseph in US and Naturalized before 1839. Possible brother Samuel, immigrated to US and lived with Thomas in Brooklyn, he later moved to Newtown, Queens Co., NY. He died 26 April 1892, Blissville, Queens Co., NY. Samuel married Mary Ann BOYD ca 1848. Anyone have knowledge of these GORDON's?

Sorry, He was born in Williamsburg, South Carolina or around Williamsburg.

So do I, but I know absolutely nothing about him. Where was your John born? Maybe they are the same person. Karen

I have a John A. Gordon that was born about 1799. Tonya

I'm looking for a John Gordon who was the father of Joseph Henry Gordon b. Oct. 6, 1837 in Canada East. Also looking for siblings of Joseph. Elaine Gordon Bugbee

I have a John Gordon, son of George A. I have gestimated his birthday ca 1797. The only two children I know their birth year are George 1795 and Joseph 1799. So this John could easily be 1800. Do you have information on him? Karen

Is there a John A. Gordon, born 1800?
