William Gordon 1795-1849 & Ann R Warfield Ky-In
I'm trying to find out if my gg grandfather, George W Gordon b. 1822 in Jefferson Co, Indiana is the son of WilliamGordon 1795-1849 and Ann R Warfield both born in Ky. I have the names of all their other children except for George.George was married twice, first wife was Phebe M Simpers and second wife was Mary Ann Harris.
William Gordon was born in Franklin Co , Ky and was the son of Lawrence Gordon from King George Co, Va. William & Ann Gordon migrated to Jefferson Co, Indiana where all his children were born. William died in 1849 and that left Ann as the head of household . According to the 1850 census of Shelby Twp, Jefferson Co. Indiana the following children were still living at home,James, Rude D est. b. 1827, Nancy, William, Samuel M, Francis M, Joseph.
Another son, John W Gordon was living close by with his wife. George W Gordon and his wife Phebe were also in the same census.
In the 1900 census of Shelby Twp, Indiana, I found a 78 year old George W Gordon living as a boarder in the home of Eugene Gordon. Eugene turned out to be the son of Rude D Gordon, who is listed as one of William's son.
I've also found out that both George W Gordon's parents were born in Ky.
