George William Gordon (1820 – 23 October 1865)〔("George William Gordon" ), Jamaica Information Service.〕 was a Jamaican businessman, magistrate and politician who was a leading critic of the policies of the governor of Jamaica Edward Eyre. On Eyre's orders, he was executed after the Morant Bay rebellion. Gordon's execution created huge controversy in Britain, and several attempts were made to charge Eyre with murder. On the centenary of his death, he was proclaimed a National Hero of Jamaica. ==Early life== Gordon was the second of eight children born to a Scottish planter, Joseph Gordon (1790?–1867) and a mulatto slave, Ann Rattray (1792? – before 1865).〔(George William Gordon Website )〕 He was self-educated, teaching himself to read, write, and perform simple accounting. At ten, Gordon was allowed to go and live with his godfather, James Daly of Black River. Within a year, Gordon began working in Daly's business. Gordon became a businessman and a landowner in the parish of St Thomas-in-the-East. His siblings are Mary Ann Gordon (1813?), Margaret Gordon (1819?), Janet Isabella Gordon (1824?), John Gordon (1825?), Jane Gordon (1826?), Ann Gordon (1828?) and Ralph Gordon (1830).
