I need to join the club of the lost tribes of Gordon's. George Gordon supposedly came from Scotland ca 1750, I can find no proof. He supposedly had children James, George A. and Margaret, I can find no proof. George A. supposedly had children George, Samuel, John and Jesse, I can find no proof.. George A. also is the supposed father of my ggg-grandfather Joseph Gordon b 1799. I have proof of Joseph and some of his descendants. The other names were found in the book Personal and Genealogical History of the Allegheny by John Jordan. Joseph was in Mercer Co. PA, his brother George moved to Iowa, and I have no trace of Samuel, John or Jesse. I'm not sure if Jesse is male or female either. I really would like to find some new cousins. Karen Patterson
I know the feeling. My ancestor was Michael Gordon b 6 Jan 1799 in Scotland . He showed up in Greencastle, Franklin co PA in 1825 where he m Annie "Nancy" Hawbaker and had 15 children there I have all the children and their spouses but that's all I can find except my line. I don't think he came to America alone(There are many Gordons in that area) but I have had no response to many queries. I am descended from the 14th child. Where are all those other Gordons? Earl H.
