h/o Elizabeth Anderson. Parent(s) of Ruth Gordon who married Major Samuel Otterson. I am not positive he is buried here, but he was buried in Newbery County and was a Presbyterian. He is probably buried somewhere between the Enoree and Tyger River.
The Gordons and Ottersons were neighbors.
Major Otterson fought alongside Capt. Govin Gordon in the swamps of SC against the British and won.
Major Thomas Gordon served in the 2nd Spartan Regiment under Col. Brandon. SAR#33992. In his Annuals of Newberry, SC, Judge O'Neal says that Major Thomas Gordon probably won his commission in the Cherokee War.
