GORDON families - Coffee & Franklin Co TN - early 1800's
There was 2 Gordon families listed on 1840 census for Coffee Co TN....James Gordon and John Gordon.
My James Gordon was on the 1840 census for Coffee Co TN with his wife and children listed below.
James Gordon born 1805, SC (or NC or GA)
wife Margaret born 1812, Tenn.
John Franklin Gordon born ca 1830, Tenn (my line)
William Gordon b. 1832, Tenn
Hutchinson Gordon b. 1834, Tenn
Sarah Gordon b. 1836, Tenn
Later on, James & Margaret had these children (all born in Tenn)
James Robert Gordon b. April 1842, Tenn
Eliza E. Gordon b. 1844, Tenn
Solomon P. Gordon b. 22 Jan 1847, Tenn
I am searching for the parents of James GORDON.There was an older man by the name of John GORDON, approx. age 55 listed on 1840 Coffee Co TN census, born ca 1785.Age wise, he could have fathered my James Gordon; however, I can not find any proof.Did this gentleman named John GORDON continue to live around Coffee Co, or did he move?To where?Did he have other children?
If you have any info on these Coffee Co TN families, please email me.Would appreciate any help you can give me.
