GORDON, RICHARD [SSNE 44]
Text source
Richard Gordon was a lieutenant captain in the Smålenske infantry regiment in Norway from 1 August until 31 December 1644. Lt. Capt. Gordon also served in the Smålenske regiment under Colonel John Taylor [SSNE 86] from January until 14 September 1645. This is probably the same as the Richard Gordon listed as lieutenant captain in Colonel Taylor's regiment in 1653
