  Histories » Slide Show		John Gordon, Sons of the American Revolution Thomas Gordon, born 1803, served as a Private on the Virginia Line. He participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown fighting under personal direction of General Washington. He spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania and trained under General Baron von Steuben. He was "captured by the British and held for some time as a prisoner of war until rescued by the mounted American Forces. During this imprisonment their wrists were bound by green hickory writhes which, when they hardened and dried upon their hands, cut deep wounds leaving scars as permanent reminders of their painful sufferings inflicted by the British Soldiers."
