Does anyone on the list have the names and dates of all of the children of Giles Gordon b. abt 1744 in Rockingham Co., VA to Thomas Gordon and Sarah Poague? He also lived in Botetourt and Chesterfield Counties of VA. Barbara Montgomery

I'm sorry, I know nothing more than what I put up on the list. I was hoping that someone with KY connections would recognize this. The man who called me about this is supposed to be sending me more info, but, as of yet, it has not arrived. Hopefully, what he sends will contain more info.

Ric, As you say, not everyone in a clan need be directly related. That is why there are septs (those of a different name than the clan)for each clan. These septs would either marry into the clan, or joined the clan for the mutual benefit of both.

yep....just too durn many of them. But maybe we should remember this, GORDON was/is a clan and, similar to the American Indians, not everyone in the tribe was related to each other. This could also be the case of Scottish Clans. Sound logical? Anyone out there have a better theory or proof to the contrary?

According to the Revolutionary War Widows Pension Application of Charity Kind, widow of Chapman Gordon, her son George W.(Washington) Gordon lived in Columbia, Tennessee in 1859. The application also states that Charity herself moved to Maury Co., Tennesssee in 1858 "with grandchildren--no names stated." Charity King and Chapman Gordon were grandparents of CSA General John Brown Gordon. CSA General James Byron Gordon was a cousin.

Fred, I have studied all the GORDONs in Maury Co. trying to determine who was related and who wasn't. I know all about your Samuel GORDON line from various info and your webpage. An elderly aunt (b. ca1880) was interviewed in Arkansas in 1950 and stated her father was cousin to General John Brown GORDON of Georgia. This line comes from John George GORDON who came from Scotland ca1720 with several other brothers. I think I descend from one of those brothers???

Folks, I am posting this for someone without Internet access. Looking for William Gordon, b. 1774 in Ky., but his obit says he was born in SC. Found in 1809 in Salem, Washington Co., IN. He married (1) Agnes Banta; (2) Wyntle Duree (both Low Dutch Hugenots). Wyntle was a child when her father and uncle were involved in the massacre at Massacre Creek in Ky. William had at least one child, John, born in Henry Co., Ky in 1806 - 16 miles south of Ft. Boonesborough, KY. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone out there?? Thanks.
