John: "Gordons of the Deep South" by Erminie Northcutt Marshall is a hard book to find. It is out of print and only by accident can one find a copy. I have a copy made from the book I borrowed. I will be most happy to "look up" for you. The book follows the descendants of John and Ruth Gordon. Unfortunately, it has many dead ends. My John H. Gordon was born in Mississippi in 1839 and moved to Simpson County. He married a South Carolina lady. Let me know what you would like me to look up for you. Pat
