Tom, Believe me I understand your frustration. For longer than that I have been trying to find the parents of my great great grandfather, George Alexander Gordon, who was born somewhere in Georgia (according to census records) 4 November 1822. I think that I know who they were, but have been unable to get confirmation. It seems that there is no one researching that couple. I have found some people who are researching siblings of the husband, but they have not been able to help.

It would be very helpful if the Subject line was more specific. The time and location would be very helpful. The GORDON's I'm looking for are in Brooklyn, NY by 1833. It would help all of us to know which mail gets the first read.

Tom -- You might have better luck in getting answers if you were a little more specific in your time frame and location over here. The Irish have been emigrating to America since the 1600s. Your present query is equivalent to "I'm looking for John Smith in North Americas."

I need to join the club of the lost tribes of Gordon's. George Gordon supposedly came from Scotland ca 1750, I can find no proof. He supposedly had children James, George A. and Margaret, I can find no proof. George A. supposedly had children George, Samuel, John and Jesse, I can find no proof.. George A. also is the supposed father of my ggg-grandfather Joseph Gordon b 1799. I have proof of Joseph and some of his descendants. The other names were found in the book Personal and Genealogical History of the Allegheny by John Jordan. Joseph was in Mercer Co. PA, his brother George moved to Iowa, and I have no trace of Samuel, John or Jesse. I'm not sure if Jesse is male or female either. I really would like to find some new cousins. Karen Patterson

Dear Tom, I, too, am researching a Gordon family in Co. Down. NIR is heavily populated with Gordon's. They are in every county, parish, and townland. But they aren't all related. There was a Gordon clan in Scotland. The head of the clan paid all the servants to assume the last name of Gordon. So, even in Scotland, there are many Gordon's unrelated to one another. My Gordon's lived in Ballyhay, Donaghadee parish. If I venure outside the 843 acres of Ballyhay, I find many Gordon's. But can't tell who are mine, if any. For Gordon research in NIR, you will need to find the townland and parish. That's a major hurtle, but a necessary one. Good luck, Sandra

I have been attempting to locate information of the GORDON's that migrated from Scotland to Ireland (more particularly, Roscommon) for about 4 years now. In that time, I have posted requests on various lists, specifically every Gordon list. I have received about 2 replies to several hundred posts. I cannot believe that there are not any Gordon's out there that doesn't have any information. I have gotten more information from my maternal side that from my paternal side. I wonder how many others out there are in the same boat!!!!!! If anyone has information on the Gordon's that went to Ireland, I would appreciate a reply. Thanks, Tom Gordon

So, it really re-energized me last when I finally flew out to New Jersey for a few days to go over the territory that my Gordon (and other) ancestors walked in the 1680-1800 timeframe. I had only discovered my roots in that area a few years ago, and had never been in that part of the country. So it was a first in many ways as I drove around Monmouth Co. and some adjacent areas. Speaking of driving around, the best description is "21st-century traffic on an 18th-century road network". I'll just leave it at that, but I won't be complaining much about our midwestern traffic here at home for a while! Some of my findings and impressions: -- I spent several hours at the Monmouth Co. Historical Assoc. museum. They had a lot of material there, but I really could not come up with any really new genealogical findings. A lot of their material is widely available elsewhere, such as "This Old Monmouth", "History of Tennent Church", etc. -- The Tennent Church cemetery was interesting. I was glad that I had written in advance to the caretaker, as the place is huge and you definitely need to know where to look. I found the gravestone of my 4th-g-grandfather, Peter Gordon, who died in 1770. His sandstone marker was in excellent condition, as opposed to many marble markers that have basically melted away. -- It was also weird to walk among the graves and see so many with my Gordon surname. Many were of those who are not in my direct line, but who I have encountered in my research or are cousins, such as Jonathan Rhea Gordon, Gen. Lewis Gordon, and others. -- Old Scots cemetery is well preserved and cared for, although it is now surrounded by brand new subdivisions. A monument there to early founders in the area includes the name of my 6th-g-grandfather, John Hampton. His daughter, Lydia, married Charles Gordon, father of Peter. Charles and Lydia are probably buried there, but there are few markers (permanent markers were not in common use much before Revolutionary times). I talked to a crew that was doing some work for restoration, and they told me that they had done some survey work with "ground penetrating radar" and had identified over 160 ummarked graves; Charles and Lydia are undoubtedly among them. -- One of the markers that is present at Old Scots is of Archibald Craig (died 1751) and his wife Mary. These are my 5th-g-grandparents (their daughter married Peter Gordon), making this the oldest known gravesite in my family line. -- Another locale in the area is the Craig House, which is part of the Monmouth Battlefield State Park. This house was originally built by Archibald Craig, and was owned by his son at the time of the battle, which took place in part on Craig land. -- I also found the house along Crawfords Corners Rd. that supposedly belonged at one time to Penelope Stout, from whom I am also descended (see next comment). Penelope is famous in local history for being an early resident and survivor of an Indian attack (she died in about 1723). -- Way over in Hopewell, in Hunterdon Co., I also found the location, if not the building, that housed the Baptist Church founded by Jonathan Stout, and in which it is likely that my 3rd-g-grandparents were married some time before they emigrated to Kentucky in about 1790 (Lewis Gordon & Keziah Stout). The important point here is that it was not difficult for me to find these places. Even though I did not really learn many new "facts", just being there to actually touch the markers and see some of the other monuments, houses, etc. did a lot to bring home the reality of these peoples' existences. The trip was well worth it just for that. If you haven't done it yet, try if you can to get out and explore the real places where your family came from. You may be surprised at what you find!

Be careful. This is how a new virus is being spread. Even though messages from lists on Roost Web cannot have attachments, somehow this virus attaches itself as an attachment anyway. DO NOT open any attachments that come from Roots Web's lists. Be sure that your virus protection is up to date and run a scan immediately.
