Sandra - the Jonathan Gordon you mention is my 4 gr-grandfather and he is descended from Alexander Gordon. What dates are of concern to you? Is there anything I can check for you? Astrid

When I began researching my Gordon surnmame, the family stated that they were "Scottish". Fortunately, I worked backward from what I knew. Discovered my Gordon's were in Ireland for the Plantation in the 1600's. Yes, they had come from Scotland, but had lived centuries in Northern Ireland. When I told my father, he said, "Oh, that's right. Dad always said we were Scotch-Irish." I'm on a Scotch-Irish list, as well. It is very common for people to want to skip the "Irish" part and get to Scottish research. This may have been true for your ancestor who left the record. There were countless Gordon's in Northern Ireland. Just a thought............Sandra

I have always proudly thought I was decendant of Alexander Gordon from Exeter, NH who came from Scotland in 1650. I based this belief on a family book that was handwritten with all the information that I just copied. Lately I have been thinking that the years of births, deaths, etc. don't really work out right. I think its a case of wishful thinking where someone worked from both ends to a questionable middle! Is this line in a web site somewhere that I could check against, or could someone check the Otis book for me? My last seemingly accurate entry is Jonathan Gordon died 13 March 1827 in Henniker, NH. Thanks, Sandra

I posted this info a few months ago, maybe there is someone new to the list that may be able to help. These are notes from Sida Gordon, Hayden Gordon's grandson: Hayden Gordon was born in England, emigrated to Boston, MA, died in 1884 and was a 'sea captain'. Sida knew nothing of Hayden's wife. Their son, Arthur Hayden (A.H.) Gordon was born in Boston in August of 1841. Arthur Hayden Gordon went to Benton Co., Oregon Territory when he was a young man, probably in 1861 or 1862. He probably went by boat to either Portland or San Francisc, then on to Benton by stagecoach. Said to have been fairly well educated, literate, and clever with figures. He may have recieved some legal training, perhaps in Boston. He became the Justice of the Peace for Benton County's 5th precinct from 1864 to 1866. He died in Grangeville, Idaho Co., Idaho May 1887, where he had been postmaster for 7 years. He married (1) Amanda Stewart(d), and had five sons. Married (2) Clara Ida Garrison and had one daughter. Any information that you might have on the above would be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Liz Bremerton, WA

Can anyone put me in contact with Angela Mainwaring concerning the "Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America," by David Dobson.

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.

Thanks to everyone who responded regarding this strange post with the hyperlink. I was hoping that "ed gordon" was on this mailing list and that he would respond so that I would feel better opening the mail. Having had a computer and been online for many years, I can only echo Eileen's advice to me, to all newbies on the net. Never open an attachment or a hyperlink if you don't know the sender. And virus protection is an absolute must. Even with all of that, you can still get burned, so always always always be cautious. Which is why I contacted the list about this strange email. I have still not opened it, but braver soul than I, a ,member of the list, asked me to forward it to him. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all is well. Jo Hogle

This may be of interest. I do not find this couple in "Alexander Gordon and His Descendants-A Genealogy of the Gordon Family" by Marian Otis. However, I did find this: Aaron Marden, Jr. m. 1st Charlotte Nicholas, three chn. m. 2nd Mattie Arline Royal, dau. of Allon Percy Royal, who was son of Samuel Royal. A.P. Royal said he had a maternal grandmother Gordon from near Augusta. Aaron Marden was son of Abbie Ellen Gordon and husband Aaron Marden.

Several days ago, I posted (again) my paltry little bit of information on my earliest Gordon ancestor, Jane Gordon, born about 1730 in colonial Virginia. Jane married William Starling and was the mother of William, Roderick, and Sarah Starling. I am descended from William. The old scrap of information said her father was a Doctor and her cousin was Major Gordon who was a casualty in the Battle of Quebec. I would like to publically thank Angela Mainwaring for providing the most hopeful bit of new information that I could have imagined -- this was a case for which I had literally no leads for years on where to look for more information. Per Angela's research notes from times gone by, she found in "Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America" by David Dobson, 2 separate listings for a Dr. Roderick Gordon, of Carnousie, Banffshire. Here is the second listing as she gave it to me: GORDON, DR RODERICK Son of . . . Gordon of Carnousie, Banffshire. Brother of Arthur Gordon of Carnousie. Ship's surgeon, 1727 to 1728. Settled in King and Queen County, Virginia from 1729 until 1744. (RH15-SRO) In addition to thanking Angela, I'd love to hear from anyone who recognizes this Carnousie family of Gordons and can share anything about them. Thank you very much!

Don Nothing I've seen about Jesse Gordon indicates that he was a doctor of any sort. The name Jane doesn't run in his descendants either. Of course, there's always the possibility Jesse and Jane are related somehow. Mary mgmoyer@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I haven't a clue as to who John Gordon's parents or siblings were. He probably didn't come to America alone. Of course, he could have been born in Maryland. The family was on the Frederick Co., Maryland Census of 1860. One of John's daughter, Agnes, married a David Somerset Wolf of Frederick Co., Maryland in the Methodist Church there in 1853.

Hello everyone, Today I received the copy of my great grandfather death cert. He died in San Bernadino CA 3-19-1947 His name Clarence S Gordon, listed birthplace as Norfolk VA His parents are listed as Unknown, but with the birthplace of Norfolk VA as well. His birthdate was 7-9-1875. So basically I recieved the same info I already had except Norfolk. I had already knew birthdate, deathdate, and that he was from Virginia. What I was hoping for was the name of his parents. If anyone has any info on a Clarence Gordon I would appreicate any help. From his son's death cert and birth cert, I have Clarence middle name as Sylvester. Thanks Tina Smith Huntington Beach Ca

Fred -- I would suggest that you do a name search thru the on-loine directories for his daughter who married Frohnapfel. The name is unusual enough that there shouldn't be too many of them. It appear that she would be your best bet to locating him.
