Surnames: GORDON, SWEET Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fi.2ADE/1197 Message Board Post: I am seeking information about George Israel GORDON, born 1842 in Perry Co, OH. His parents were John and Eliza (CEASE) GORDON. In the mid-1850s, when George was a young boy, he moved to Indiana with his family. I have 2 potential wives for George. He may have married Elizabeth COMERFORD from Bunker Hill, IN. He may also have married Mary SWEET, originally from NY. The 1880 census locates George and Mary (Sweet) in Kokomo, Howard Co, IN. George was in the lumber business. I have been unable to find any information about his children who are listed in the 1880 census. All were born in Indiana; Bessie, the youngest, was born in Kokomo but I am not sure about the rest: Ida M (abt 1868) James (abt 1870) Carrie (abt 1872) Rosa (abt 1874) John (abt 1876) Bessie (abt 1879) Ida M (abt 1868) If you have any information about George or his children, I would appreciate your sharing it. Thanks. I might add that all of George's siblings moved to Indiana in the 1850s. I have found a couple but am still looking for JOHN GORDON (b 1842) MARK GORDON (b 1847) WILLIAM GORDON (b 1844) MARY A (b 1852) It is always possible that some of these siblings came to Howard Co as well.
