A history of Exeter would probably shed more light, especially as Alexander was a leading light of the ME/NH area. He appears to have commuted between Exeter and the Portsmouth/Kittery (ME) area. -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA

Have you checked for HER widow's pension file? It will be linked to his in the index. If he moved to MA and joined the Union Army, either his service record, his pension record or both will indicate the town he enlisted from. Even tho you say HE moved to MA, I assume his family went with him. In that case, they'll probably be reflected in the 1860 census in the town he enlisted from. You don't indicate whether he returned to NS after the War, nor where he died. His death certificate would give the next of kin. His obit would give names and locations of relatives, possibly including in-laws. When you find out where he died (or already know), you can do a search at www.newspapers.com to see if there's a paper still being published in that town. If so, you can see if they have a web page or e-mail address and ask if they were in existence at the time of his death, and that if they weren't do they know what paper(s) were, etc, etc.. -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA

I know NY did some censuses in some areas; but I can't be sure of the area you're looking at. George Alexander certainly would have been old to serve in the Civil War, Have you checked for a service record, a pension file or a wdiow's pension file? How about the LDS IGI on-line file at www.famlysearch.org? How about church records for baptism/christening, marriage and funeral/burial? Have you check the Lancaster paper(s) for obits? On this last, do a search for Newspapers on www.google.com. You'll get a return for Newspapers in Print and another one for newspapers by state, whether in print or out of print. If the paper has an e-mail address (lots of them do these days), you can ask them to search their archives for the obit. When you get the obit, then you can write to the funeral director/undetaker and see if they can give details from the funeral records. -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA

Does your copy have it? I know that what you have IS a xerox of the DAR copy. That copy was a carbon copy and some of the pages appeared to be the bottom copy of several copies. I canimagine reading it would be a "three excedrine" task. Where did you get your copy? BTW, have you tried the IGI search at the LDS Family Search site to find your George Gordon? If not, go to www.famlysearch.org and look for the link to the IGI. I think that I may finally have tracked down my elusive John Gordon, husband of Elizabeth, widow of York, ME in 1744. -- Cheers, Jim Gordon, Laurel, MD USA

Hi all, I am still looking for a Gordon who married Isaac Dickie. She may have been born in PEI. Isaac was born about 1830. Their last child was born about 1860 and then Isaac moved from NS to Mass and joined the union army. But there is no record of his wife in his pension files. Any info? Thanks, Gloria

In search of anyone with knowledge of a Lousie GORDON who married James Norman KELLY about 1900. I know they lived in Houston, Harris, TX in 1909. I know nothing whatsoever about Louise except her name. Not dates, no parentage, nothing. James was my great-grandfathers brother. James may have been a railroad man of some sort. I wish I had more information. Thank you Mike Kelly [email protected]

Mike, Check the Fed. Cen. in 1900 and 1910. You might luck out! Sheila

Hello! I am (again) new to the list and finally got the birth- and death-date for my husband's great-grandmother Nancy Rose Gordon. I got it from his cousin and don't know his source yet though. Nancy Rose Gordon was born March 19th 1858 and died November 18th 1933. She married Samuel Westley Breeden (1854-1932), but I don't have the marriage-date. They had 5 children, one being my husband's grandfather Henry Edward Breeden, born July 27th 1899 in Madison County, VA. Nancy's father's name was: James David Gordon and her mother's maiden name was Carpenter, but we don't have the first name. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Martina Breeden
