My 2nd ggrandfather John was Catholic but my ggrandmother, his daughter was Methodist. I know that her sister was married in the Methodist Church in Frederickburg, Maryland, abt 1853. Hope that your distant cousin knows of this family, and I might be lucky to find out who John A. Gordon's parents and siblings were. Thanks very much.
