My Gordons were real travelers. Richard Gordon was born in Henry Co. VA in 1766. He traveled with his family to Wilkes/Franklin Co. GA. From there he was all over the map during the Revolution and, after working his way through KY, I have him on the 1840 census in Jackson Co., TN. Along the way, he had a son born in KY in abt 1805 by the name of James C., and he, too, was on the 1840 Jackson Co. census. Later census records revealed that James C. had a son named James W. Gordon born in 1831 in Alabama. Does anyone know of any Gordon from Henry Co., VA, who settled in the Tugaloo River area of GA? Does anyone know of any Gordon in any part of Alabama who came from Wilkes/Franklin Co., GA? I speculate that after Richard returned to the war, his family migrated across from Wilkes/Franklin Co., GA, to Alabama, and in about 1830 Richard took his family, particularly his son James C. Gordon, to AL to visit those relatives. Maybe James C. was accompanied by his wife or maybe he met and married Martha J. while in Alabama, whatever, but he stayed until after the birth of his son, then returned to Jackson Co. TN. So I'm looking for his parents from Henry Co., VA and any siblings who turn up in GA and AL. Joyce
