Delaware County, IN Rootsweb Listers,
John GORDON was a Revolutionary War Pensioner from
Westmoreland County, PA, Adams County, OH and Delaware
County, IN. He (and probably his wife, Elizabeth ART) are
buried in Mt. Pleasant Township, possibly in or near Hawk
Cemetery, north of Yorktown. In August of 2005, this "new"
Patriot of the Revolution (John GORDON) for Indiana was
recognized by the placement of a new US Government stone and
a flag marker in Hawk Cemetery, just 2 rows west of his
probable son Robert's family, in what was originally the one
acre cemetery on Robert GORDON's land. This research and
grave marking effort was aided by many persons from Delaware
County, including the Continental Chapter of the Sons of the
American Revolution (SAR), and I thank them all.
I joined this Rootsweb List in search of my own Elizabeth
GORDON (DOWNING) ancestor of Adams County, OH, who was
possibly the daughter of John & Elizabeth GORDON of Delaware
County, IN. The possibility of that relationship now seems
rather remote, and unless someone finds something new, I
plan on no further research efforts on this John GORDON.
However, I do want to leave this in the Archives of this
Delaware County Rootsweb List, in the event that someone
finds something warranting further investigation.
As I will shortly "unsubscribe" from this List, I want to
thank you all for your help in this research endeavor.

PS-I also made contact with Muncie's Keith Fetters, a cousin
from the Pennsylvania German FETTERS descent, as well as
many Quaker lines through my Mother and his Paternal
Grandmother.
