Welcome to my husband's GORDON
family history. Two brothers, James and John Gordon emigrated
to the Colony of Virginia from County Down, Ireland. They were
sons of James Gordon of Sheepbridge in the Barony of Newry, County
Down, Ireland, and his wife, Sarah Greenway. James Gordon emigrated
to America around 1738 and settled in Lancaster County, Virginia,
at Merry Point on the Corotoman River, a tributary of the Rappahannock
River. John Gordon emigrated to America before 1756 and settled
at Urbanna, a port of entry on the south side of the Rappahannock
River in Middlesex County, Virginia. Both brothers were successful
merchants in the Colony of Virginia. |
