    1. [MEYORK] Dayton Gravesite help please?
    2. Hello all, I was wondering if you could help me find old John's burial location? "John Gordon, the first settler, is buried on the Biddeford Road near Boiling Spring." - Ava Harriet Chadbourne, writing about Dayton in the "Illustrated County Edition - York of Maine Place Names & the Peopling of Its Towns." "Few of the burial places of the earliest pioneers can be identified. ... Clayton's History of York County, Maine ... records that the grave of John Gordon was on the H F Moore property in 1880. On 2 Aug 1966, with the present owner Mr Alfred Kimball, I visited the old stone walled graveyard, but though we searched the ground, no trace of head stones or foot stones could be found. It is a spot of quiet and serenity, deep in the woods, blanketed by leaves." - John Eldridge Frost, New York City, 23 Aug 1966,  [M.O.C.A. York County record for Lyman & Dayton.] thanks, John Wesley Gordon Researching Gordon and Maddox in York Co. Maine and So. NH. Old Gordon Gravestones, and more; www.GordonsOfMaine.com
