    3. Doug, The following information comes from the book "Pioneers of Old Hopewell" by Ralph Ege, printed by the Hopewell Museum, from which I obtained it a few years ago. It is very useful and contains much information about the old families. There is more information on Peter than on Lewis. Page 256: "Of the other children of John STOUT and Mabel SEXTON, we know but little. Mabel, married James CAMPBELL; Kesiah, married Lewis GORDON; Rachel, married Jonathan STOUT, and Charity, married John PARKE, son of William. Page 250: Major Peter GORDON was Brigadier Major in Captain Toman's Battalion and in the Quarter Master General's Department. On March 14, 1780, Major GORDON "Quarter Master" advertises horses and cattle in the Trenton Gazette and gives notice that he will be in Trenton on Mondays, but the balance of the week on his farm near the Baptist House in Hopewell. Major Gordon's farm is now owned by Charles Durling, Esq., on the north line of the Borough. Page 239 - footnote: Judge Sexton died May 10, 1785, and is buried in the family plot on the farm. On October 8, 1785, Gen. Peter GORDON and William Larison of Hopewell were granted letters of administration on his estate. Page 172: Inventory of damage and loss cornelius Hoff sustained *************Joseph Hoff being duly sworn doth Depose and Say that a number of the Cont'l troops staid one night at the claimants house and the above mentioned articles were missing in the morning and he Verily believes they took them. Sworn, September 17, 1782 -- Signed Jos. Hoff; P. GORDON. I hope this is helpful. Evelyn
