Please hold off my mail until Tuesday. We have had a death in the family and will be unable to check mail for a few days. Thank You Faithwalker

My gr grandfather, Joseph Henry Gordon, was born 10-6-1837 in Canada East to a John and Elizabeth Gordon (perhaps born in Canada??), but prior to settling in Worcester, Mass. came from or through Vermont--according to his naturalization papers. If you find any connection, please let me know. Elaine Gordon Bugbee

To whom it may concern: I am looking for any information you might have on the following person who is one of my ancestors, and a dead end in my searches. Thanks in advance for you help.

"Remembrances of the Civil War" is a book written by General John Brown Gordon. It was reprinted in 1993 with an Introduction by Ralph Lowell Eckert of Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. This is an excellent first hand report of the battles between the North and South. There is not much family history. The foot notes in the introduction are there for further reading.

David: My Gordon line orginated in Scotland in Banff/Aberdeen, but that is as far back as I can go. Wonder if your branch and mine are from the tree. The dates and places coincide, but all I have is Alexander, from NorthEast Scotland, abt 1630, and a son Samuel who came to US with 2 brothers (date unknown, debarkation point unknown).

Hurston, Where did you find that book? I sure would like a copy or at least read it. Some of my Gordons fought in Kings Mountain too and ours may be the same family of Gordons. Mine lived in Union Co. SC after the Rev. war and moved to Franklin Co. GA via Pickens District, SC in the 1840s. See my website below: David > Date: Wed, 23 May 2001 11:08:48 -0400 > From: "L.

Is there any information available for Scotch-Irish Gordons ship landings in VA/PA in the 1700-1735 timeframe? There are literally thousands of us who have ancestors detailed in the "Gordons of the Deep South" book by Erminie Northcutt Marshall, 1961 who descend from John and Ruth Gordon from Truro Parish, Fairfax (now Loudoun) Co, VA settling in the "Back Country or Upper Country" of SC about 1750. Unless there is new information from some source I have not heard, the origin of John and Ruth Gordon is unknown. Ms. Marshall in her book suggests that burned records in Stafford Co, VA might have assisted. However, logic would suggest that they would be among the half million to one million Scotch-Irish (from Ulster Plantation) who fled as a result of religious oppression. That part of the Carolinas was settled predominantly by Scotch-Irish Presbyterians originating initially in PA an VA, but later directly from Ulster to SC. A huge majority of those who fought in the successful battles against the Red Coats at Ramsour's Mill, Rocky Mount, in Huck's Defeat, Yadkin, and even Kings Mountain and Cowpens were Scotch-Irish. John and Ruth's four surviving sons (Maj. Thomas Gordon, Capt. William Gordon, Capt. Govin Gordon, and ? George Gordon) at the time of the Rev War all served with Col Thomas Brandon's Regiment and Gen. Rutherford. Again, this implies Scotch-Irish heritage as these militia units were raised primarily from the Presbyterian congregations in the area. I suspect that to find John Gordon's (pre 1710-1756) origin we must pursue the Scotch-Irish ships. Does anyone know where such information might be obtained? Hurston Anderson

John B Gordon was one of the most beloved Generals in the Confederacy. He was a great man in civilian life before, during and after the War ( There was only one War for Southerners, the War of northern Aggression. For the ignorant and the non-Southerners it was the Civil War. John B Gordon was a most famous Georgian. His statue is at the state capitol in Atlanta on the NW corner of the lawn. Now that the coward SOBs pulled the real Georgia flag down and hid most of the Confederate bust from the public on the inside of the capitol they will probly remove the statue of John B Gordon and replace it with a statue of Jesse Jackson and Gov Barns shacking hands. General Gordon was a man of some wealth before the War and managed to have money after the War. During Reconstruction when Southerners were starving he fed them. When Southerners home were taken or burned he housed them. If you don'y know that CSA stands for the Confederate States of America then you don't knot that during Reconstruction the South was under military rule. Carpetbaggers were the tax/land collectors. Ex-Slaves were placed in elected positions and in law enforcement. Conferderates who returned home after the war found that their homes had been burn or taken. All the home furnishings had already been taken by the yankee soldiers during the War along with the livestock and food. The crop land was poisoned as were the wells. Their guns were taken so they could not hunt. To add insult to injury, the Confederates, found their wives, mothers and daughters had been raped by yankee soldiers. They were not allowed to vote or run for office or even hold office. If these Southerners were seen in their Confederate uniforms they were shot on sight. If they were out after 10pm they were shot on sight. John B Gordon did what he could to feed and care for his Confederate compatriots in their bad situation. General John B Gordon will always be a great Georgia hero. Harold Harrison Confederate American

Hello J. Williams, Could you elaborate please? Who is Gen. John B. Gordon? I am not sure of the first name for the Gen. Gordon in my tree. What does CSA mean? I have never used ebay. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Sincerely, Kim Valentine >Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 18:05:33 EDT > >There is a book on Gen John B.

CSA stands for Confederate States of America. General John Brown Gordon was a Confederate General and was with Lee at Appomatox. He was later governor of Georgia.
