I'm not familiar with Jesse Gordon from King and Queen Co., VA, but, because of the location and timeframe, I'm quite interested in the possibility that he might have been related to my "brick wall" Gordon. Here is everything I "know" about my ancestor Jane Gordon: From "A Genealogy and Family Memorial" by Joseph Sullivant (1874), p. 29: "Her father (no first name given) was a Doctor. The author feels he was a Doctor of Divinity and not a physician as some noted. They were of Clan Gordon and claimed relationship with Earls of Gordon. The author thinks father was an Episcopal clergyman. A Major Gordon, British officer who fell at Quebec with Gen. Wolf, was a cousin of Jane's. Jane's family settled in King William Co., VA some time before 1740. They appear to have come from Scotland as first reference to father is "a Scottish physican". Jane and William Starling had 3 children, William, Roderic and Sally. Both William and Jane died young. William only 26 and Jane died only 3 years later. The children became under the care and guardianship of Colonel William Lyne. Young William married Susanna Lyne, daughter of their guardian. This did not please the Colonel and he moved to Boydtown, Mecklenburg Co., VA where they lived for many years. He served as Sheriff of the County." If there are any ideas about a connection between my Jane Gordon and this Jesse Gordon, I'd love to hear about it. Thank you very much. Best Regards, Don Boyd Fairborn, Ohio USA
