Count my Gordons among the lost. On his RW pension application, Richard said he was born in Henry Co., VA on 17 Apr 1766. I know it wasn't Henry Co. in 1766, but that's what he said. He moved with his parents to Wilkes Co., NC, where he served with the militia in August 1781. He moved with his parents to Wilkes Co., GA, in Oct 1781. He moved with his parents to Franklin Co., GA in Aug 1782. After serving as an Indian scout at Walton's Fort for two years, he joined the militia again and left the area, never to return. I have no further information about his parents. Richard married in VA, moved to KY where his son James C. Gordon was born, and eventually settled down in Jackson Co., TN where he died after 1840. Jackson Co. has had a few fires, so records are sketchy. Don't know when or where James C. Gordon married Martha J. _?_, but their first child was born in Alabama. He then moved back to Jackson Co., TN, then to Davidson Co. in 1860 where I lose him again. His sons moved on to Robertson Co., TN. Please help. Joyce
