Does anyone know this G.A. Gordon? I found this on the Ancestry free search of military records.

Does anyone know of a marriage between a man named Gordon and a woman named Mills? Would have been pre 1820's. Please notice--the date and time are correct. Margaret

Okay, guys!!! I'll put an end to the speculation. For some reason, my computer sometimes does not hold the date and time. I know that I should check it before sending messages, but sometimes I forget. Mea culpa.

Actually, I'm beginning to believe that a space ship dropped my Gordon off in Fleming Co., KY and left him there in 1812!

I, too, am looking for information on the parents and any possible siblings of my gr grandfather, Joseph Henry Gordon, b 1837 in Canada East. Their names are (parents, that is) John and Elizabeth Gordon. Joseph Henry settled in Worcester coming by way of Vermont, and married there (Worcester) in 1862 to a Sarah Fontaine (aka Spring). If there were any brothers and sisters, it is possible that they scattered to various parts of the country. If I knew exactly where in Canada East he was born, I might be able to find more information. Elaine

I am seeking info on my GORDON line, which is: Benjamin Frank Gordon b. ? m. 17 May 1883 St. Joseph, MO to Rosa M. Schupbaugh (believed to have come from Bern Switz. 1863ish), d. ?

I realize the it's truly difficult to trace names that repreat over and over again from one generation to another...it's not often, however, that you find the same exact name w/ approx. date of birth....I, too, am searching for my gggrandfather GEORGE ALEXANDER GORDON! What do you have for siblings...perhaps this one married more than once and he could be mine as well. Have some information that led me to thinking his origin could have been through Canada rather than through the southern links.... What else do you have for Georgie Boy? lol Lyn -----Original Message----- From: Margaret McCleskey <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, July 01, 1999 7:02 PM Subject: Re: My ancestors Colin, Please tell me more about your family.

Ethel, As far as I know my 1850s Gordons only passed through Louisiana on their way to Texas. Only two children from that family survived to make the move. I suspect that the other five and their mother died as a result of the yellow fever epidemic which I understand took place in Mississippi about that time. My g-g-grandfather was in Cherokee Co., TX by 1857 when he remarried. Margaret Ethel S. wrote: > > Could some of those 1850 Gordons have come into Louisiana?

Not part of my line that I am aware of. So far I am the only departure from the "George, William, Alexander, Charles, John, and sometimes James" traditional forenames.

Could some of those 1850 Gordons have come into Louisiana? I first find Thomas Jefferson Gordon in/around Church Point (St. Landry Parish), La where the birth of his and Lucrettia Bushnell's first child is recorded in 1867. Next,( on 1870 census) he and his family are found near Iowa, LA and his age is listed as 25, with his birthplace listed as Alabama. On the 1880 census, he and his family are listed; his age as 32, and his birthplace given as Louisiana. So--perhaps---in 1850 he could have been 5-7 years old?? Ethel.

I would like to know where my GORDON's came from prior to living in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. They lived in CA from 1860's on. Some dispursed to Los Angeles, CA and Tacoma, Washington. If this is an area of interest to someone PLEASE contact me. Thanks. Terri Gordon, Redmond, Washington

My Gordons are stuck in Louisiana, tho rumor in family says they migrated from the Carolinas. Must admit that Louisiana is a good place to be stuck. We have such a rich history in this state! Ethel.
