Hi everyone. I need someone who lives in Burlington to do me a favor. I need someone to go to the courthouse or where ever they have the birth records and see if they can find other children born to Robert GORDON and Elizabeth HARWOOD. Maybe a marriage lisence for them. The only child I have information on is the youngest, Grace Estelle, born in 1890 in Burlington. Thanks in advance for any help.
