I realize Henry Co. wasn't formed at that early date, but that is where Richard said he was born when he applied for a RW pension. He left there with his parents and stopped in Wilkes Co., NC, on their way to Georgia. The following is copied from his pension application. "That he volunteered in the service of the U. States the 16th of August 1781 in Wilkes County North Carolina in an expedition against the Indians for three months under Capt John Beverly & Col. Hearn [Herndon] and marched to Pleasant Garden near the head of Kataboo [Catawba] River when we joined Genl McDowels army, was principally engaged in the Cherokee nation, what was called the middle settlements, scouring the country destroying Indian houses, towns, crops, etc. There were two companies that went in this expedition making near four hundred men that marched from Wilkes Court House to Pleasant Garden, one commanded by Capt Sloan & the other by Capt Berry(?), the latter to which I belonged. At the expiration of two months was discharged by Col. Hearn. I went home as we could without receiving any written discharge, was in actual service as a private soldier on this tour just two months." Other Gordons lived in Wilkes Co., NC at that time, but I don't know if there was a relationship with Richard's family. I don't even know the name of Richard's father, but if this brief picture of his life rings any bells for anyone, I sure would appreciate hearing from you. Joyce

Have a newspaper article collected by my grandmother showing what I believe may have been a relative of ours. Of course, the article didn't include the name, place date etc. of where the article came from. Some serious research (lol) was used to make the following determinations from information in the article: Boxers' names: ARTIE GORDON (whose pix is in the article) Harry Curley, Billy Ramsey, Willie Davis, Andy Garry & Larry Regan + a few more. Places: Turn Hall Arena, Linden, South Broad Street, Reid Street. Articles on back of newspaper are Notes from Roselle, Madison, US.Junior Naval Reserve Delozier Davidson Post, & Police Court Notes from Philadelphia. Map Quest found me Philadelphia, PA. where Reid & South Broad Street exist. Deduction: A Philadelphia,PA newspaper. Communications with a boxer historian found "Curley" boxed around early 1900's to mid 20's. >From notes about a Mrs. Chas. MacQuoid enjoying a cruise through the West Indies on the S.S. Reliance....search on this ship found it cruising exclusively 1926-1928, in Honolulu Harbor May 1,1930, last voyage to Germany 1935, gutted by fire 1938. Deduction: Time of article between 1926-1934 Can anyone claim my Artie Gordon (probably Artie is a nickname) who was a Boxer from the Gordon Gym located on Reid Street, Philadelphia, PA between 1926-1934? Believe he is a tie to my Gordon line as I don't think gram located in NH, kept a newspaper article from PA, unless he was a relative and it was sent to her. Graciously appreciate any input.

This is a rather large burying ground, and burials here probably as early as 1710. Its origin is apparent from the following extract from the will of Nathaniel Gordon (son of Alexander). The will is dated December 2, 1757. Thomas Gordon was born in 1678 and died in 1761. "I give and bequeath to my two sons, viz. Benjamin and Nathaniel Gordon, their heirs and assigns forever, all my Homestead, my Dwelling House and Barn and other buildings thereon excepting half an acre of land to be reserved for a Burying place as convenient as may be where my last wife was buried and several of my children and grand children, and a convenient way to and from it to the Country road leading from Exeter to Kingston." This has been a town cemetery for many years, and the town has several times spent money for its maintenance. The lot is rectangular, about 225 feet wide and 180 feet deep, and contains nearly an acre. It is enclosed by a stone post fence with rails of timber about four or five inches square in cross section. The fence of expensive construction, but now in very poor repair, is quite similar to that on Front Street by the main Academy building. The fact that the plot is twice the size specified in Thomas Gordon's will is interesting in bearing on the point that it is a town cemetery. The cemetery is over-grown with bushes, black cherry, pine and oak trees, two of the latter are very large and several of the pine trees are of good size. The cherry trees have been cut from time to time and now several good sized sprouts have come up from every stump. Some of the stones are lying flat, some covered with leaves and earth. Most of the stones are gray slate, and nicely carved, the others are of white marble. Many of the oldest graves are marked by unlettered field stones, and some with crude initials, and in some cases the age is given, but no year. In 1989 the town historian stated that she suspected that some of the Sinklers are buried here without markers. (Not a single Sinclair stone was located in any cemetery in Exeter). It is also suspected that this or another cemetery where Sinclairs were buried was valuable land for past factories making brick (due to the combination of clay and skeletal dust remains). Therefore, the Sinclairs may be literally spread about all of Exeter, New Hampshire." ************************************************************ The Sinkler/Sinclairs have an excellent website, well worth visiting! Now... Has anyone here been to this cemetery recently? Has there been a gravestone transcription done? Are the above directions accurate? "Rte 3"? Isn't the Kingston Road Rte 111? "The road to Pickpocket"? I know where Pickpocket Road is, but I didn't know that "Pickpocket" was a placename. I'm just an hour or so from Exeter so I'm planning a road trip very soon, who wants to come? <g> John Wesley Gordon Descendant of Alexander Gordon and Mary Lysson Researching Gordon and Maddox in York Co.
