Gardner Gordon Surgeon
« on: Friday 06 December 13 19:14 GMT (UK) »
anybody have any information on this person? His father George was an 18 th century Apothecarist  possibly in the Diamond in Londonderry-I know Gardner graduated from Glasgow University in 1775 and was made a Freeman of the city that same year with Richard Laird -also licenced to practise as a surgeon. In 1773 Gardner Gordon is reported to have taken over the business of his late father but I have no other details.

I suspect that he may have been involved with the United Irishmen but again am not too sure on this

tks wow
