Gustav Burdon was the son of John Bordon [SSNE 4345] and Regina Sinclair [SSNE 6266]. Like his father he joined the Swedish army. He was an ensign in the Kalmar regiment in 1672, although it appears he first joined in 1671, and then a lieutenant and lieutenant captain in the Dalregiment by 1677. He died in February 1679. Gustav held land in Torsjon in Horeda parish. His brother Johan [SSNE 1983] was also in the Swedish army.
