I am researching this Gordon family. I believe the father of John B. Gordon is James Gordon and his mother could be Sarah Lumpkins. John was born 24 May 1808 probably in Kentucky and died 21 Mar 1861 in Cedar Co., Missouri. He married Nancy Thomas 2 Jan 1834 in Cole Co., Missouri. They had: Elizabeth b. 10 Jul 1834, James L. b. 7 Oct 1836, Maria b. 9 Oct 1838, William P. b. 1843, Missouri V. b. 14 Nov 1844, John Thomas Gordon b. 9 Feb 1848, George M. b. 11 May 1851, Sidney Caroline b. 11 Oct 1853; Mary A. b. 15 Apr 1856. I will be happy to exchange information on any of these people. Thanks. Connie
