    Notes:

    James Gordon served in the 1st regiment of the Michigan Mechanics and Engineers during the Civil War. Per his widows's pension application, he died 8 Feb 1871 at or near Elm Creek in Huron County, Michigan. Per the same pension application the couple were married by Wm. Willoughby on 2 Aug 1847 in Trafalgar, Ontario.

    James married Leah Furler on 2 Aug 1847 in Trafalgar, Halton, Ontario, Canada. Leah (daughter of Cornelius Furler and Mary Godfrey or Gallop) was born on 14 May 1831 in Ontario, Canada; died on 13 Jan 1903 in Port Huron, St Clair, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 5.  Leah Furler was born on 14 May 1831 in Ontario, Canada (daughter of Cornelius Furler and Mary Godfrey or Gallop); died on 13 Jan 1903 in Port Huron, St Clair, Michigan, USA.

    Other Events:

    • Reference Number: 6559
    • Residence: 1852, Cayuga, Haldimand, Ontario, Canada
    • Arrival: 1860
    • Residence: 1860, Lexington, Sanilac, Michigan, USA
    • Residence: 1870, White Rock, Huron, Michigan, USA
    • Residence: 1880, Bloomfield, Huron, Michigan, USA
    • Residence: 1900, St Clair, Michigan, USA

    Notes:

    Death certificate shows parents are father/Furler mother/Godfrey.

    I have found five documents with Leah's maiden name; two spell it Furlow (son Eli's marriage record, dau Louisa's first marriage record) and 3 spell it Furler (dau Louisa's second marriage, Leah's Death Certificate, dau Louisa's 3rd marriage). Canadian research seems to indicate the family name was actually Furler. A Civil War Widow's application filled out and signed by Leah Gordon, very clearly gives her maiden name as Furler. See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/furler.htm for information on the Furler family in Canada.

    Leah may be a sister to Sarah Furler, daughter of Cornelius Furler and Mary Godfrey. Their ages are 4 years apart, they lived in the same general area and death certificates of each list Furler and Godfrey as parents. Other sources list Cornelius Furler being married to Mary Ann Gallop. Perhaps Gallop and Godfrey, due to spelling or transcription errors refer to the same person or perhaps Cornelius had multiple wives.

    Sarah Furler married James Felker. Their son Walter married Mary Gordon, the daughter of James and Leah. In fact Walter and Mary are living next to James and Leah's son Stephen Gordon in the 1880 census. On the same census in the next household are James Felker and Sarah Furler. If Leah and Sarah are sisters, then that would mean that their children are in a first cousin marriage. Perhaps their relationship is something else.

    Also of Interest; Judy G has an autosomal DNA match with a descendant of Sarah Furler with 1 segment of 29 cM's in common. If Leah and Sarah are sisters, this would be a relationship of 3rd cousin once removed. If, for example, Leah and Sarah were 1st cousins, this relationship would become 4th cousin once removed. Both of those relationships could be consistent with 29 cM's in common. In any case, I think that we can be certain the Leah and Sarah Furler are somehow related.

    Horatio married Sarah Lounsbury in 1848 in Brant, Ontario, Canada. Sarah (daughter of William Barker Lounsbury and Sarah Corey) was born in 1833 in Canada; died on 30 Jul 1910 in Huron, Michigan, USA; was buried in Jul 1910 in Huron, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    • Arrival: 1886
    • Residence: 1900, Fairhaven, Huron, Michigan, USA

    Notes:

    We have the Campbell and Lounsbury families moving from Brant, Ontario to Clare County, Michigan. The naming patterns are very similar between the Lounsbury's in Ontario and the Lounsbury and Campbell families in Clare County. It is very possible that two Campbell brothers (John Alexander and Horatio) married two Lounsbury sisters (Mary C and Sarah) and then both families moved to Clare County. Several on-line trees show these relationships, but I have not yet found explicit proof.

    The name Sarah Lounsbury appears on George Campbell, Alexander Campbell and Major Campbell marriage record. The name Lounsburg appears on Harriet Campbell death record.

    Some genealogies have her born nov 1828 in Brant County, Ontario.

    The book "Some Descendants of Richard Lounsberry" by John Freund shows William B Lounsbury and Sarah Cory having a daughter Sarah in 1833, but no spouse is given.

    "Cory's of America Ancestors and Descendants" compiled by Al Bertus Cory, 1991 edition. On p.25 Sarah dau of Thomas Cory married William Launsbury; Their child #6, Sarah married Horatio Campbell and they lived in Michigan.

    Sarahs death certificate lists Edward Lounsbury as father, but the first name could be an error, or it could invalidate the hints in the previous paragraphs?

    Notes:

    According to Genealogies at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, Canada Sarah was married 1st to William Lounsbury and 2nd to Alexander Campbell and then moved to Ontario. However the Brant County, Ontario Gen web at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onbrant/biosbran1.htm has a biography of her son Morris that shows that it was William and Sarah (not Alexander) who moved from New Brunswick and all children are Lounsburys. So it would seem that either Alexander Campbell was the first husband, who did not move to Ontario or it is simply in error and he was not a husband. See Morris Lounsbury (b. 1831) for full writeup.
