Hi Sharon, I thinl we are of the same line - I descend from John GORDON and Janet COUTTS from Aberdeen. They had "Glen Gordon" near Rockhampton, later Mt Morgan. My gt. grandmother was their daughter, Ann GORDON, who married Walter GRIEVE. Would love to share info and be in contact with a "rellie"!

There is another lines decended from his uncle (also John) that settled in Qld around Mount Morgan. I am also in touch with descendants on that line. Both men came from a little place called Pitcandlich in Aberdeen. My ancestor was Sargeant of Police at Morpeth. If I can help further email me Regards Sharon O'Neill -----Original Message----- From: Kinder Family <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, 13 June 1999 3:12 PM Subject: Re: John and Peter Gordon >I am new at this geneology but I am wondering if there are any Gordons in Australia. i am looking for a Colin Gordon born about 1919 and served in the 2nd world war in the UK in the RAAF. I don't know where to begin to trace my ancestors. This person was my Father but I have never had contact. I believe that he originated from Brisbane Australia. But where his ancestors came from I am unaware. Where do I start? > > >Judith Kinder > >Joel Amos Gordon wrote: > >> Hello to all, >> I am wondering if anyone has information regarding Peter GORDON from Indaiana County, PA? Between 1820 and 1830 Peter moved from Indana Co., PA to Brooke Co., (W)VA, the part which later is made into Hancock Co. He is listed in the 1850 census as being 63 yrs. old, which would put his birth date around 1787 (the 1850 census also lists birthplace as PA). >> My ggg-grandfather, John F. "Jack" GORDON was born, according to his obituary, around 1814. His birthplace has been listed as VA, WVA, PA, and MD. I have been able to find him in the 1850 Hancock Co census, but have not been able to confirm earlier than this. In the census listings from 1820 to 1840 for Peter Gordon, John could be enumerated with him, given the correct birth date above. Peter Gordon is the logical choice for John's father, but I have been able to find nothing which proves one way or the other. Does any one out there have information on Peter Gordon which can substantiate or dispute this theory? I would be very interested in hearing any opinions regarding this, too. I have not been looking for a number of years now for the father of John and come up with nothing until I found this last week. Does this sound plausible? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance! >> >> God Bless, >> Joel Amos Gordon >> nce! >> >> God Bless, >> Joel Amos Gordon > > >
