General Notes: Husband - Hon. John B. Gordon


He was reared on a farm and received instruction from his father in the art of husbandry, which occupation-in connection with raising stock for the markets-he followed until his death. At that time he owned one thousand acres of land in Greene County, Pennsylvania. He, in common with many of the inhabitants of middle and western Pennsylvania, had a passion for military life. He was elected Major of the Forty-sixth Regiment of militia, held the office for seven years and took much pride in discharging its duties. Mr. Gordon served his fellow citizens in civil as well as in a military capacity. He was elected to the office of county commissioner in 1825, he served two terms; he was a member of the House of Representatives in 1847 and 1848.
