Kristin,
Please share the William Lafayette Gordon with me as well.My private e-mail is [email protected] you.My family is Robert Gordon/William Gordon/William Gordon/Walter LeRoy Gordon/Walter Louis Gordon/Shirley Gordon.The Gordons came from Granville County, N. C. to Tennessee and then to White County, Arkansas.The log cabin in Searcy, Arkansas that is a historical site as I understand was said to be the place where my grandfather spent his honeymoon.Walter LeRoy Gordon left Arkansas after his wife died in the flu epidemic.He had to move to Texas where relatives would help him rear his five remaining children.Walter LeRoy died in the early 50s and is buried in Joaquin, Texas even though he spent most of his years in Jasper, Texas.His son Walter Louis moved to Houston where he is buried in Memorial Oaks Cemetery.
