Here's a possibility for James Gordon you seek based on the information already given about DOB & parents.
He died in 1948. His parents are listed as John Gordon & Mary Lowry. DOB is about right. The only big difference is he states he was born in Scotland? Census records gives immigration 1890-1893.
