So far, this is what I've been able to put together thanks to many of you out there: Andrew Gordon (my cousin) and his wife, Eliza Goff, came to Texas in the early 1850's and brought their children (and in some cases, Grandchildren) to eastern Williamson Co. The two had eleven children of which one baby boy, Robert McDonald Gordon, died at the age of 6 months and is buried in Tennessee, five girls and five boys that survived to maturity. Of those five boys, two have been identified to have died during the fight for Southern independence, William Henry "Harry" Gordon, killed on skirmish line near New Hope Church, Georgia, and was buried on the battle field. He had recently been transferred to this regiment from the 8th Texas Cavalry, Company "A" which he had joined from Burleson County, Texas, and when shot said to his brother ( Gen. George Washington Gordon ), "Tell father (who was living in Williamson Co. at the time) that I died in a glorious cause", his last words, taken from "Military Annals of Tennessee", vol.1, page 298: a chapter written by Gen. George W. Gordon; David Martin Gordon who had joined the 8th Texas Cavalry, Company "A" , Terry's Texas Rangers from Burleson County, Texas and was killed in action as a Private at Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee, two that may well have fought for the 4th Texas (not found yet), and one son that returned to Tennessee to become a rather famous General and gentleman, General George Washington Gordon, who headed up the Eleventh Tennessee Infantry. I do believe I have a lot here to be proud of and I'm anxious to find the information on the other two brothers, John Goff Gordon and Andrew Franklin Gordon. Fred (Ric) Gordon of Williamson Co., Texas
