The Lanark Society Settlers by Carol Bennett

Pg 34-35
Abercrombie friendly emigration society
William Gordon President
Emigrated on the Commerce 1820 and settled East lot 3 Concession 4
Lanark township.
Accompanied by his wife and 3 children
(Possibly Agnes 1818-1885)
May have went to Drummond 1842 but gone in 1851
(Lanark?)
John shoemaker b 1828 son of William Gordon and Ann Finlay(Findlay)

In researching records in Lanark I was able to figure out that William Gordon settled in Lanark Village right off of the Clyde river and sold the property in the 1840's to move down to Drummon centre (roughly).

Later on his son John moved back to Lanark and lived on Princess street. At one point his house burned down although I am unsure of when?

His father William was the spokesman for the other passengers on the voyage to Canada. They came from a suburb in Glasgow with many other settlers.
