Patrick_Gordon_(governor)
Patrick Gordon (c. 1644[1] – August 17, 1736[2][3]) was Deputy governor of the Province of Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties on the Delaware from 22 June 1726 to 4 August 1736.[4] He was deputy to the Proprietors of Pennsylvania, the heirs of William Penn, rather than to a governor. Since the proprietors were usually in England, he was essentially the governor.
