That is fascinating information. I have the feeling that the family of my Gordon ancestor from NJ (b. abt 1832) arrived at that time, but I haven't yet been able to trace him earlier than that. Some of you might not know that there was a strong Gordon presence in pre-Revolutionary NJ. You can read about these fugitives at the web site of Old Tennent Church. There is an old Scots burying ground and a Gordon's Corners Rd. in that area. Old Tennent Church was involved in the Battle of Monmouth in the Revolution. Some of you might enjoy reading about it and seeing photos of the church. Lynn in Fla. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
