Moses Gordy was my great great grandfather and was born in 1830. He married Mary Ann Myers in 1857. They had three children, Roella Gordy B: 1856, Mack Daniel Gordy B: Oct 15, 1858 D: Nov 7, 1948 & Martha Gordy B: Aug 27, 1862 D: Nov 19, 1922. Moses was a farmer before enlisting in Company "G" 46th Regiment North Carolina Infantry during the Civil War and died at the Battle of the Wilderness on May 5, 1864 at the age of 34. Mary Ann Myers Gordy married Zebedee C. Croker two years and four months after the death of her husband.
Mack Daniel Gordy was my great grandfather and there seems to be some confusion as to the correct spelling of his name. You will see his name shown as "Mc D. Gordy" or "McDaniel Gordy" on numerous internet sights. This is incorrect. I have many documents with his signature signed as "Mc D. Gordy and McDaniel Gordy" and there are several on this web site but the correct spelling is "Mack Daniel Gordy". He created this confusion by abreviating his name of Mack with "Mc" and his middle name or initial when signing his name. He even made this abreviation to his grandson's name in his will by listing him as Mc Gordy instead of Mack Lee Gordy. He never relized the confusion it would cause later on.
Please visit the links to my ancestors and see all the information and pictures including wills, codicils and deeds. This is a work in progress and updates will be forth coming. If you have information or pictures on any of the listed Gordy family members that you would like to add to this site please contact the webmaster. Thanks and we hope you enjoy your visit.
