I'm looking for the parents of my great- great - great grandfather Howard Gordon. The Washington County page has a history that seems to work until I get to him. We can't seem to find his folks or the dates for his wife's parents - Hannah Mc Clurg and John Sheilds ( she was Mary Sheilds, born in Tennessee?) . Just to thrown this out to see if anyone knows anything - my second cousin Beryl has been the one that's gotten this far....And he's still a Gordon! :-) Thanks Kathy

Hi Kathy, Howard Gordon came to Wash Co from 1814 to 1818 from KY. Another reference has him coming to Wash co in 1824. It says he settled in Monroe Twp. He was born in VA. I also found that Mary Shields was born near Knoxville, TN if that is of any help. I got this information from the Washington Co. history books. Hope this helps. I will keep my eyes open.
