William Gordon
I am searching for information on the parents and sibblings of William Gordon born in 1822, died in Michigan 1899. I have info from 1865 untill the time of his death, but, have no info from 1822-1865.
He was my GreatGreat Grandfather and his second wife Lucina Shepard was my GreatGreat Grandmother. So I have their information.
I am searching for his first family, wife and 6 children, his place of birth, etc. I was told by my father that he thought his family came from County Cork, Ireland,and was Scottish. That Williams father had commited suicide in 1827 and was in the Royal Navy. And that the family lived in Illinois. This is what my father told me, but, I have no proof.
In Williams obit it states that he had 6 older children , no names mentioned, but, 1 lived in Chicago, 1 lived in Wisconsin, 1 lived in Colorado and 3 in Northern Michigan.
I was told by a cousin that he was from Canada, so I am not having any luck finding any info on him.
In the Calhoun County, Michigan Census there is a William Gordon, with a wife Sabra and 6 children and a domestic with the name Lucina Gordon living with them? What a coincidence, my Great Great Grandmother was Lucina Shepard Gordon.
Sure could use some help Gordon cousins,
Thanks in advance.
