About George N. Gordon
Source: Wikipedia
George Nicol Gordon (April 21, 1822 – May 20, 1861) was a Protestant Canadian missionary to the Pacific Islands. Due to the murder of Gordon and his wife, Ellen (1833 - May 20, 1861), they are considered by many to be martyrs of modern times. George Gordon was born to John Gordon and Mary Ramsay, both of Scottish ancestry near Alberton, Prince Edward Island. In 1848 he was converted to Christianity and began distributing Bibles and religious tracts.
