Is anyone interested in GORDONs from Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland? My
earliest is Thomas GORDON born approx 1670, died 1736 in the Nunton,
Kirkcudbrightshire, married Jane HOUSTON 1702.

My gggrandfather, Samuel GORDON, was born at the GORDON family farm,
Culraven, Borgue, KKD, in 1816; he was the son of John GORDON and Mary
HOUSTON. Samuel married (in Liverpool, Lancs) Alicia McCALLUM who was born
at Aros, Isle of Mull.

My g.grandfather, John GORDON, emigrated to Australia c 1860, possibly to
attend the wedding of his sister, Alicia Julia McLean GORDON to William
Stewart ANDERSON in Melbourne, Victoria.

I believe there are numbers of GORDON descendants in Canada and the U.S. and
would like to make contact to fill in some branches on the family tree..
