I am looking for parents and siblings of William GORDON b. 20 Apr 1788 d.
27 Mar 1850 m. 16 May 1816 to Elizabeth STEWART b. 15 Sep 1781. He was a
cooper by trade and also a tobacco farmer.

William was supposedly b. in Baltimore, MD, but I think he may have been
born in Pennsylvania.

They are buried in the GORDON Cemetery in Sharon Twp., Noble Co., OH,
where theirs are the only two graves.

They had 8 children, all b Washington Co OH before the formation of Noble
Co OH in 1851.
