I have just discovered that my Mum's ancestors appear to have come to Dundee from Tobermore, County Mayo, Ireland, sometime between 1828 and 1840 ish. James Gordon states he was born in Dundee around 1836 and his brother George born 1828 ish states Tobermore, County Mayo. Parents as above. No details on IGI or GROS Old Parish Records. I am in process of contacting County Mayo, however wondered if some one can offer any help Heather J. Williams [Powys]

Hello All, The following is a biographical sketch for James Gordon from the "History of Edgar County, Illinois", 1879. I hope that this helps someone out there searching for their family. Sincerely, Jane ILTrails, Edgar Co. Host www.iltrails.org/edgar Please keep in mind this was published in 1879. JAMES GORDON, retired, Paris, is a pioneer; was born in Mason Co., Ky., May 4, 1800. Nov. 11, 1824, he married Miss Mary Riley, daughter of Rev. G. Riley, of Cynthiana, Ky,; they emigrated to Illinois in 1829, locating in Bloomfield, Edgar Co. He, in partnership with his brother, built and operated a tannery, and continued in that business about eight years, then removed to Paris and opened and run what he called the Tremont Hotel for two years, and in 1842, was elected County Sheriff, and re-elected in 1844. At the expiration of that term, he engaged in keeping a hotel; then, in 1852, was again elected to the office of County Sheriff, after which he engaged in the clothing business, and after a continuance of two years, again assumed the position of landlord of the Tremont for a time, then retired. He has served as a member of the City Council, and has always felt an interest in all public matters pertaining to the good of the town. Mr. and Mrs. G. have been intimately! connected with the growth and prosperity of the Baptist Church for a number of years. They are among the first early settlers of Edgar County, and clearly remember when the beautiful land was an unbroken waste, inhabited by roving bands of Indians, with here and there an occasional adventurous pioneer. In those early days inconveniences and disappointments were not uncommon, but through industry and unswerving integrity they have won the respect of all who know them. They are the parents of six children--Elizabeth F. (now Mrs. L. B. Huston), Emily E., (deceased--was Mrs. J. D. Jaquith), Almira F. (now Mrs. J. A. Peck), James M., Mary M. (now Mrs. J. C. Palmer) and Oliver B.

Arvid, Your letter really caught my interest because I also have a grandfather named James H. Gordon who was supposed to be bro. of John B. Gordon and I found out that he wasn't!! The James H. Gordon who really was bro. of John B. was married to Caroline Gwyn in Wilkesboro NC in 1823 and moved to Gordon Springs Ga (Walker co.) and later moved to Huntsville Ala. Their children are 1. Richard Oscar Gordon, 1824-1862 m. Harriet Young Price, 2. William Law Gordon 1830-1908 m. William Emma Hurt 3. Mary Elizabeth Gordon 1833-1896 m. Henry Augustus Russell 4. Dr. Charles Peyton Gordon 1837-1910 m. Maggie Judd Manly 5. Rebecca Gordon m. Judge Leander Crook. 6. Octavia Gordon 1835-1931 m. Charles Maner 7. Nellie Gordon 1843-1861 8. Caroline Harvey Gordon 1845-1936 m. Josiah Bass. Does this sound like your Gordon? My James Harvey Gordon was m. to Elizabeth Lacey prob. in Williamsburg SC in early 1820's had children Wright b. 1822, Harvey b. 1832, and Hardy b. 1835. My have other children named Elliot and Alexander. If this sound like your Gordon, please contact me, I would love to hear from you!!

Do you have a time frame for your Gordons?? Thanks Ray

As close as I casn come on any of they would be on Sallie. He first born was July 1901. So if you figure she was 15 to 20 years old she would have been born between 1880 and 1885. I guess you can figure approximately 20 years back on her parents. I do know that her mother was born in France, went to Canada and then the US. The info we have is very sketchy. Sallie commited suicide and we cannot even find a death record on her.

I don't have much info but am looking for my ggrandfather in OK. His name was Martin Gordon and he was married to Elizabeth LaRouge or Lavere. They had children named Sallie (maybe Shara) Elizabeth and William. Sallie married Benjamin Graff of Titus County TX. Elizabeth eventually became the 4th of 5th wife of Benjamin Colbert of Colbert, OK. Sallie and Ben raised 7 children in Titus County, TX. Pearl, Elwood, Martin, Ruth, Clifton, Hazel, Benjamin. Thanks for any and all help.

I found this bit of info in my paper files. It was sent to me a number of years ago. Unfortunately I do not know the source. Does anyone out there know where this came from?
