General Notes
Jim Gordon says: Robert himself was a grocer until he acquired Plot 8 in Fallahogy in 1878. This was held by John Crilly in the Griffiths Valuation of 1861. (Source: Jim Gordon's report using the Griffiths Valuation Revision Books and the Rentals of the Worshipful Company of Mercers held at the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland). Was PAD of his mother, Mary Gordon (I cannot find this now.).
Robert Gordon acquires Plot 8 in Fallahogy of 11 acres from Robert McKay, in 1882. Robert McKay got it from John Crilly in 1868. However, he acutally arrived in Fallahogey at some point between the birth of his son, Isaac, in Lislea in 1878 and his son, Lenord, in Fallahogey in 1880.
Robert is scored out of Plot 8 to Joseph A Gordon in 1922. This must be Joseph HENRY Gordon. He holds it til the end of the book in 1929.
