Michael Gordon ~ Haverhill, MA. ~ 1741
Who was the Michael Gordon (spelled Micael Gorden in the town records) whose name was included in "A List of Polls and Rateable Real Estate & Personal, for the Town of Haverhill, in the County of Essex, Taken in the Year 1741?" Please note that 1741 was the year that a new boundary line was run between Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I mention this fact because prior to 1741 Michael may have been a resident of a town in southern New Hampshire and after the new line was drawn, he became a resident of Haverhill.
