For anyone interested. Even though I have not been able to connect my upstate NH, Francis Archibald Gordon, to any member of the Gordon family located in the southern part of the state, I try to pass on whatever information I may find in other nooks & crannies to those who may possibily find a missing link. Here is what I recently found in the archives for the Town of Dalton, NH: #1. HIRAM GORDON, age 28, born in Lancaster, NH, living in Dalton, NH....married Sarah A. Bartlett, age 25, born in Carroll, NH, living in Littleton, NH....on December 24, 1859, in Dalton, NH by Moses Rix, Justice. #2. Dalton Marriages, year ending with Date of March 27, 1854 by Charles E. Blake, Minister of the Gospel: a) DAVID F. GORDON, farmer, age 24 of Lancaster, NH to Esther A. Crane, age 22 of Dalton, NH...on January 12, 1854 in Dalton, NH. Attest: B. Crane, Town Clerk b) HENRY H. GORDON of Bath, NH, age 27 (occupation: saddler) and Julia A. Kimball, age 18, of Dalton, NH...married March 15, 1854 in Dalton, NH Attest: B. Crane, Town Clerk My paternal grandmother, Inez Pauline Stuart Gordon, said that we were related to the Kimball's ....if anyone can help to link my Gordon's through some of the Kimballs who lived in this area, it would be very well appreciated. I hope these little tidbits help someone "with-a-hole-to-patch" in their brick wall...lol "just one more cuz" Linda T. Cloutier freedom@ncia.net
