I am searching for information (land, birth, marriage, military, death, etc. records) on the James GORDON Sr. family who moved from NC to OH in 1806, and to Dearborn Co. (or possibly now Union Co.), IN, area in 1807, remaining until 1821, when they moved to Putnam Co. I was wondering if the old, pre-Union Co. records are kept in Dearborn or in Union Co.? Also, are the mouths of the Kentucky and Miami Rivers [see Item 6 below] located anywhere near Liberty? I am especially interested in finding out which company or regiment James GORDON Sr. served with during the War of 1812. I have the following quotes regarding James and/or his son James Smith GORDON: 1. [James Smith Gordon's] parents [James and Mary Gordon] moved from North Carolina to Ohio in 1806, and from there to Indiana in the following year [1807]. [I did not find James Gordon in the 1807 Indiana Territory Census for Dearborn Co.] 2. [James Gordon Sr.] served in the War of 1812 ... [I have a list of 34 James Gordons serving in the War of 1812. I need to narrow down my search.] 3. James Smith Gordon was born July 14, 1814, in Dearborn County, Indiana, two years before the territory was admitted as a state. He was the son of James and Mary Gordon and the youngest of a family of five children, having had two brothers and two sisters. 4. The deceased [James Smith Gordon, son of James Gordon Sr.] was ... born near Liberty, Indiana, July 14, 1814. 5. Mr. [James Smith] Gordon was born in what is now Union County, near Liberty, July 14, 1814. He was the son of James and Mary Gordon ... 6. ... James Gordon [Sr.] whose native state was North Carolina, but who had lived for a time in the southeastern part of the state [Indiana], in the strip which lay between the mouths of the Kentucky and the Miami Rivers. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, especially with the companies or regiments serving in the War of 1812, from that part of Indiana Territory. Judy Gordon ggg granddaughter of James Gordon Sr.
