Robert, I also have a greatgrandfather named John Gordon who came to New York from Kilgariff, Roscommon, Ireland. My grandfather was John, Jr., who was born in NYC in 1905. When was your John born? I am looking for info on my John Gordon and he was born 7/30/1872, so I don't think we're talking about the same John. John Jr. had a son named Robert, my uncle! Diane Cornwell Lincolnton, NC
