I order the book the History of Franklin Co., PA. Checked the index, no George Gordon. Then I started checking the other names. Found Rev. J. Smith Gordon, son of Alexander Gordon and Joanna Fullerton. Alexander Gordon, b 1803 died 1886. Children: David Fullerton, Matthew, John Calvin, Martha, Humphrey & J. Smith Gordon Now the good part, Paternal Grandfather was Alexander Gordon, Sr. The Gordons came to the country in its very early days from Scotland. GEORGE GORDON, from whom the family descends, came to the country sometime between 1600 & 1700. Alexander is the correct age to be with George and Joseph, but none of his children's names seem to carry into the Joseph line, How about George? If everyone knows from whom the family descended, why is there not a tree to be found? Karen

Hi; Here are a few details on some Maine Gordons: Joseph Gordon of Biddeford, deceased, represented insolvent. At home of Mr. Amos Gordon in Biddeford; Tristram Jordan, Thomas Cutts, and Samuel Scamman, commissioners (2 Feb 1786 Falmouth Gazette & Weekly Advertiser). March 1, 1870 Eugene W. Libbey, adopted son of William H. Gordon and wife, changed his name to Eugene W. Gordon. place Winn. If anyone has any more info on the Joseph and Amos in Biddeford I would be interested. Best wishes, Dana Edgecomb nighthawk@watchic.net

I'm looking for any and all descendants of John Aubrey Gooch and his wife, Adrienne Gordon. She was born about 1907. They had at least two children, Robert Gordon Gooch born August 17, 1934 and Adrienne Gay Gooch born November 13, 1937. Both were born in Tarrant Co., Texas. Adrienne Gordon was my 4th cousin once removed. Her parents were William Andrew Gordon and Annie V. Woods, her grandparents were John Goff Gordon and Louise Roxana Thomson who lived in Williamson Co., Texas. Adrienne Gordon had three brothers; Malcolm Andrew Gordon born about 1905 and died September 24, 1968 in Val Verde County, Texas; John Alvin Gordon who married Virginia Alice Mack and had at least one child named Jan Adrienne Gordon born October 17, 1946 in Tarrant Co., Texas; and George Douglas Gordon (nothing further is known about him as yet).

I don't know. There was a Gordon settlement north of Morrilton and there were lots of Gordons and most of them were related. Most of them were there by and before 1860. A number of them moved or OK around Holdenville, Lawton and Gracemont.

There is was an Ed Gordon in Morrilton, AR, a lawyer who died a few years ago. His son still lives there and was in the AR Leg. He had a brother who was Lt. Gov. He was a pilot in WW II. Ed's and my line extends back into the Orange Co. NC. We are decedents of William Gordon a Rev. War soldier. William had two brothers James and John. William moved his family to Gallatin Co. IL in 1807 and then in 1815 he moved to Maury Co. TN where his brother John lived. If anyone has any info on the Orange Co NC Gordons or on William in Galatin Co. IL I would appreciate it. John B.

I wish we could get all our info in one fell swoop, but since we seem to have to put it together in dribs and drabs, let me throw this in there. In the books, Scotch Irish in America, it gives info that Maury Co. TN was founded by settlers from Williamsburg Co. SC. There certainly were Gordons in Williamsburg SC as it was founded by a group of settlers led by Roger Gordon who supposedly came from PA. and Scotland. In Early Pee Dee Settlers, there are 2 William Gordon, 1 was m. to Margaret Scott nee Gregg, in Pee Dee 1772 d. 1783 was Captain in Marion's Brigade. Another Wm. in Peedee 1726. a James who was a Lt. Col in Loyalist Militia, another who was Lieutenant in Marion's Brigade, a John who was private in Marion's Brigade. All these are prob. descending from Roger Gordon. Hope this does not confuse anyone. I am just putting the info out there. It needs a LOT of investigation. We know that the family of Chapman Gordon who was fa. of Gen. John B. Gordon later went to Maury Co. TN. too. I have had a theory that all the Gordons of Wilkes co NC, Williamsburg SC, PA and VA are related. We may not ever prove that theory, but it sure is interesting when they keep moving in such close proximity to each other.

Gloria, I looked in the Orlando library for your DuBose family and had a ball with it!! Have you ever seen the book "Darlingtoniana" bu Eliza Cown Ervin and Horace Fraser Rudisill? I made a lot of copies of it, so if you haven't seen it I will send it to you. It was kind of an old book, but would be a treasure to you because of the history of your family It has a LOT of DuBose history in there. One story in particular concerning one of the DuBose women who was captured by the indians but carried on and talked so, the indians turned her loose because they did not want her "contaminating" the squaws and encouraging them to nag their husbands! Also a really cute one about a dau. of Col. Benton, Gillie Hinton Benton who m col. Isaiah DuBose of Darlington 10/7/1808. Seems her father did not approve of the marriage and sat there with on the front porch,shotgun on his lap. Gillie slipped out the back door and took off with him. As they rode off , he took a shot at them! Later they became great friends. It also said that Col. Dubose had the same ideas about his own daus. as all of them had to run off the be married! I also saw in a family history of the DuBose family where Martha m. Thomas Gordon and had 4 children. Did all the children go to La too? I see a son named James and wonder if he might be mine. You know that Isaac Dubois fled France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes? There is info on him and some of the other families in St James Santee, Plantaion Parish "Carolina on His Mind". Gives marriage info on Isaac m. Catharine Boisseau July 9, 1749, Frances m. Peter Bochett June 1751, Peter m. Ann Mouzon June 11 1752, John m. Sarah Mouzon Nov. 16, 1758, James m. Hester Guerin Dec. 11, 1760, Heser m. Vincent Guerin Aug. 19, 1793, Frances m. William Wells Oct 20, 1774 Susannah m. William Plowden Oct 20, 1774 Martha Est'r m. Daniel Anderson May 6, 1794. There is a lot more info if you want me to send it to you, send me your snail mail. Also info in the vertical file and other books that I did not copy because I don't know what you have or what you are looking for. Please send me info on Thomas or Moses family in La. as it might shed some light on my James Harvey Gordon who m. Elizabeth Lacey of Williamsburg SC. Darlington, Williamsburg, Sumter, Georgetown all are next door neighbors and have a lot of info recorded in Charleston. I am seeing in Sumter county filed May 8, 1820 a record of a lawsuit naming Thomas and Moses Gordon against Robert Wilson, David Witherspoon, Thomas Wilson and his wife and Haratio Reese. It is possible that James Harvey Gordon could have been m. to Elizabeth Lacey around that time, as she would have been 22 yrs old and he is prob. older. He may have stayed in SC when they went to La. I don't find James at all in census records, so don't really know how old he was. I found Elizabeth living beside her son Wright Gordon in Pulaski Co. Ga in 1860 in close proximity to her bro. James Lacey and one of James' daus. Agnes living with Elizabeth. All Elizabeth's known children say they were b. in SC, oldest 1822 youngest 1835. There is a record of a Salem Black River Presbyterian Church in Caroliniana Library on microfilm that may have some clues for us. Thomas and Moses were founding members. I hope to get someone or get up there myself to look at the info. The FHC has it but won't lend out to the local FHCs so would have to go to SLC or Columbia SC to look at it! Hope to hear from you soon!

From'Heads of Families at the first census of the United States taken in the year 1790 MAINE' from the Government Printing Office 1908. Key: The names are the entries in the census column "NAME OF HEAD OF FAMILY" The numbers on the right represent the entries in the columns "Free white males of 16 years and upward, including heads of family.","Free white males under 16 years.", and "Free white females, including heads of families." The two other column in the census were "All other free persons." and "Slaves." (FYI -There are no slaves listed at all in the Maine or Massachusetts 1790 census. Vermont listed 16, but these were actually "Free Colored".) Since there were no entries in these last two fields for any Gordon household, I've left them off the following list: Goadon Thial Wales Plantation 1-1-2 Godden John Thomaston Town 1-2-4 Gorden Amos Biddeford Town 4-5-3*Andrew's brother Gorden Andw Littlefalls Town 2-1-4** **My gggg-grandfather, living in Dayton, Ridlon says "locally called Gerding" Gorden James Brunswick Town 1-1-3 Gorden John Littlefalls Town 1-0-1*Andrew's brother Gorden John Jr Littlefalls Town 1-2-2*unsure of relationship Gorden Nathl North Yarmouth Town 2-1-3 Gorden Nathl York Town 1-2-4 Gorden Robert Topsham Town 1-1-1 Gorden (Widow) Freeport Town 0-0-2 Gorden Zebulen Little Falls Town 2-6-2 *Andrew's brother Gordon Daniel Washington Town 2-1-4 Gordon David Prescotts & Whitchers Plantation 1-0-0 Gordon Henry Fryeburgh Town 2-0-3 Gordon Hugh Fryeburgh Town 1-2-4 Gordon John Camden Town 3-1-1 Gordon John Sullivan Town 1-3-2 Gordon John Fryeburgh Town 1-1-4 Gordon John junr Camden Town 1-2-1 Gordon Jonathan Prescotts & Whitchers Plantation 1-0-0 Gordon Jona Winthrop Town 1-2-1 Gordon Josiah Winthrop Town 1-3-1 Gordon Saml Washington Town 1-0-0 Gordon thiah Winthrop Town 2-1-5 John Wesley Gordon Descendant of Alexander Gordon and Mary Lysson Researching Gordon and Maddox in York Co.

Hello, this is my first attempt to use this source for information. I also am searching for Gordon and Belland names. Their ancestors were from the Quebec area and were originally named Godon and Belleau, I think. They settled in New York State, Washington County. Does that information connect with any of yours? Marie

Thank You very much to all who offered help to my confusion! The problems were that I had the wrong date of death for Alexander and was missing a generation, but thanks to you all- I'm back in the family! Sandra, researching POND, GORDON, CLOUDMAN, BELAND, and LAVALLEE in New England

A couple days ago Angela Mainwaring helped me crack my brick wall with a Dr. Roderick Gordon citation from a book by David Dobson. Here is the list of his publications on his web site -- looks like a lot of useful material here for Gordon and other Scottish researchers. <A HREF="http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/dobson.genealogy/index.htm"> http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/dobson.genealogy/index.htm</A> Best Regards, Don Boyd
