3. Cormac or Thomas GORDON (John ) was born about 1785 in poss Kilgarriff, Fairymount, Co. Roscommon. He died in prob Kilgarriff, Fairymount, Co. Roscommon.

There's some confusion as to whether the son of John Gordon who married Anne Hunt was Thomas or Cormac. According to information from family members it was Thomas. However in the LDS Vital Records Index (VRI), there's a record for the christening in Loughglynn in 1817 of a Brigid Gordon whose parents were Cormac Gordon and Anne Hunt. But the year of Brigid's christening doesn't tie in with the approximate year of Bridget Gordon's birth provided by the family, i.e., 1830.  

Thomas (or Cormac) may have had a brother, or other relative, called Martin, who married Elizabeth Hunt (same family as Ann Hunt?) because there's an VRI record for the christening in Loughglynn in 1817 of an Anne Gordon whose parents were Martin Gordon and Elizabeth Hunt.

According to the Co. Roscommon Heritage and Genealogy Company, the sponsors at Bridget's christening (in 1817) were Martin Gordon and Elizabeth Hunt. And at the christening of Thomas, brother of Bridget, the sponsors were Patrick Gordon and Mary Hunt. Could Cormac (or Thomas) have had two brothers named Martin and Patrick, and could Anne have had two sisters named Elizabeth and Mary?

Cormac married Anne HUNT in 1816. Anne was born in Co. Sligo. She died in prob Kilgarriff, Fairymount, Co. Roscommon.

Unfortunately the only information we have on the Hunt family is that they came from Co. Sligo.

Note: The Hunt surname is common throughout the country, especially in Connaught and Munster. The fact that it's an English name may account for much of its presence in Ulster and Leinster, but generally it's an anglicisation of Ó Fiaich, Ó Fiacha, Ó Fiachna and Ó Fiachra because of their resemblance to the Irish word 'fiach', meaning 'chase' or 'hunt'. In the mid-19th century, the Hunt surname was most common in counties Mayo and Sligo.
