His first six children were born in Haverhill. About 1710, the Indian wars being over, Thomas bought a tract of land of Peter Coffin in the southwest of Exeter. To it he brought his family. The spot was known as Gordon Hill until 1830-40. Thomas Gordon served in Capt. John Gilman's Company in the Queen Anne's War. Children by Elizabeth: Timothy, Thomas, Diana, Daniel, Abigail, Benoni, Timothy, James, Hannah; children by Rebecca: Nathaniel, Benjamin.
