Posted on: Mason County, IL, Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Mason/10125 Surname: Gordon ------------------------- Becky, this is very interesting. Rachel would be a later generation than Elizabeth (Gordon) Heston b 1826 and Leva Ann Gordon b 1825. William could possibly be a brother. Do you know where they were born? Leva Ann had sons named George and Albert and a dau named Lotta (short for Charlotte?). I am going to look at census records next week and will see what I can find. Leva Ann's oldest son (oldest listed in 1880 anyhow) was born in MA which I thought was strange, but I am going to see what I can find there too. Mardi
