William James & Mary Ann [Stanton] GAYNOR of Saint John)(Marriage reported Johnson, V.10 #1878 & confirmed by records of Trinity Anglican Church, Saint John, N.B.); b. 1821? Saint John, N.B. CANADA; d. 7 Feb 1883 Brooklyn, NY, U.S.A. (bur. 10 Feb 1883 Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY, U.S.A.)(Thomas was descended on his father's side from Michael GORDON of the 17th Lt. Dragoons, who settled at Shelburne, N.S. with the Loyalists following the American Revolution, and on his mother's side from Charles DIXON, one of the early Yorkshire Settlers of Sackville, N.B. According to the Dixon Papers at PANB, he went to Saint John & became Clerk at Tisdale & Sons Hardware; later had his own hardware business; still later moved to Brooklyn, N.S. [sic]) & had two sons, Charles [sic] who was married, and Frank. We have found no evidence for the existence of Charles and believe George Gaynor GORDON to be the son referred to as Charles. On 8 Aug 1860, Thomas purchased the Gordon Family Plot in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY. In an Affidavit filed to settle title to the Gordon Family Plot in Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY, in 1903 it is stated that he d. 23 Mar 1895. He is not buried in the plot.)(Mary Ann was descended from Rhode Island Loyalists, Peter GAYNOR and Benjamin STANTON); children:
