A Gordon!

I just want to know how many Gordons there are on the boards. I can never keep us straight. So yeah, what sept and whether it's maternal of paternal if you want.

I'm Gordon though my dad, sept Long, which came from Laing in Aberdeenshire.

I am also a Gordon on my fathers side the sept is Dorward.

My paternal grandmother was Alta Maud Muir, and we are a sept of the Gordons. There is a movement afoot to get the Lord Lion to re-instate Clan Muir.

Aren't the Moore's (etc) also claimed by the Campbell's?

Gordon on my mother's side. GGGrandmother Mary Gordon Willis. Gordons in Virginia by way of County Down in 1750-ish, by way of Aberdeenshire 1650-ish.

I was at one time a member of the House of Gordon, sept Moore. However recent research revealed my Moore's (O'More's) were Irish (Antrim) & (briefly) Glasgow area Scots. On the Scots side from near the territories of the Muirs, thus I've since joined the Muir Clan society.

My cousin, however, still claims the Gordons, has a Gordon tattoo & kilt (though he's not on this forum, yet!)

Forgot to mention that I assisted former Washington state convener Earl Gordon in designing the Gordon banner back around 1996-97, and built the pole set-up for it, both still in use by the Washington Gordons today.

Mary Gordon's pedigree

What he said (I'm the one that put together the pedigree.)

While I'm not a Gordon, my dog is. (The Gordon Setter breed was originated by Alexander, the fourth Duke of Gordon (1743-1827) to hunt grouse.)
