William Gordon from Wright Co. MO
I am researching the Coggins/Gordon family line. I've gotten as far back as my husband's great grandfather Charles Walter (Gordon) Coggins who was born son of William and Laura Gordon in Hartville, Wright County, MO in 1886, died 1957 in Worland, Washakie County, WY. Laura is believed to have been a native american who died giving birth to Charles, and Charles somehow was given the Coggins name and married Annie Elizabeth Cogdill in 1907. William Gordon (g-g-grandfather) is a mystery. I have no idea who his parents were or who took Charles in and gave him the Coggins name. Any help is appreciated.
