Individual Details

Cormac or Thomas GORDON

(Abt 1785 - )

There is some confusion as to whether the son of John Gordon who married Anne Hunt was Thomas or Cormac. According to information from family members it was Thomas. However, in the LDS Vital Records Index (VRI), there was a record for the christening in Loughglynn in 1817 of a Brigid Gordon whose parents were Cormac Gordon and Anne Hunt. But the year of Brigid's christening does not tie in with the approximate year of Bridget Gordon's birth provided by the family, i.e., 1830.

According to the VRI, details of the christening (which are in Latin) are:

GORDON, Brigidam
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 12 Jul 1817
Recorded in: Laughlin, Roscommon, Ireland
Collection: Roman Catholic
Father: Cormici GORDON
Mother: Annae HUNT

Thomas (or Cormac) may have had a brother, or other relative, called Martin, who married Elizabeth Hunt (same family as Ann Hunt?) because there was an VRI record for the christening in Loughglynn in 1817 of an Anne Gordon whose parents were Martin Gordon and Elizabeth Hunt.

Details of the christening are:

GORDON, Annam
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 18 Jul 1817
Recorded in: Laughlin, Roscommon, Ireland
Collection: Roman Catholic
Father: Martini GORDON
Mother: Elisabeth HUNT

According to the Co. Roscommon Heritage and Genealogy Company, the sponsors at Bridget's christening (in 1817) were Martin Gordon and Elizabeth Hunt. And at the christening of Thomas, brother of Bridget, the sponsors were Patrick Gordon and Mary Hunt. Could Cormac (or Thomas) have had two brothers named Martin and Patrick, and could Anne have had two sisters named Elizabeth and Mary?
