Hello listers

I am searching for any McComb~Gordon information. Anytime from Scotland
1600s, all the way through a John Gordon McComb, wife Jane Gordon em. to US
in 1755 (This John Gordon McComb is my "7th grandfathers cousin").

We ventured from Scotland off into Antrim Ireland somewhere between the
years 1619 and 1710 (the life span of my 10th grandfather, 91 years old ),
most likely 1680. They lived at Dunturkey, Ballymere, Parish of Ballymere Co.
Antrim, 12 miles N. of Belfast on a farm rented from town. His son (my 9th
grandfather) was a Linen draper also born in Scotland.

My line was on U.S. land by 1732.(this is before there was a U.S. president)
We came in through Delaware Maryland, had a brief stay in N.Y. then branched
around to Cumberland Co. Pa, Derry Pa, Middle Spring Pa, and Lancaster Co.,
also whats known now as Jefferson County, NY. and some other areas. There
were 7 brothers plus their father (my 8th grandfather) that came initially.
History has confirmed 4 of them in America, my line included. Some McComb
changed the spelling to Macomb, and later McComb(s) in some cases. Some went
to Chicago and Canada, and some other areas.

John Gordon McComb,b.1717 d. after 1796,m.Jane
Gordon,children:Alexander,William,Anne, em.abt 1755.Settled in Albany N.Y.

Jane Gordon is second cousin to Gen. James Gordon.His family originaly from
Scotland, he is the son of Alexander Gordon m.Martha----------. Gen.James
Gordon m. Mary Ball in Ballston NY.His sister (another Jane Gordon) married a
George Scott the 4th. George Scotts family em. from Dumfries Scottland to
Drumenagh, Co. Londonderry Ireland early 16th century.
