Don Unfortunately, the only information I have abt Gordons in King and Queen Co, VA, is that Jesse Gordon was born there in 1755. His Revolutionary War pension file states this. Since K & Q Co. records were burned twice, there are very few records for it from before the Civil War. I just got a book (on fiche)called Gordons in Virginia by Armistead Gordon that I'm hoping will shed some light. I'll let you know if there's more abt Roderick in this book. Since Jesse Gordon was born in 1755, I am estimating that his father was born abt 1725-1730 also, so it's possible he is Jane's nephew.
