  	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. Perth Courier, August 26, 1887 Gordon?Died, at Lanark, on Thursday, 25th inst., John F. Gordon, aged (illegible). From the Sept. 2 Courier: Lanark Links: We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. Jno. F. Gordon, which sad event occurred on Thursday of last week. Mr. Gordon suffered very poor health all summer but until about a week before his death he had not been confined to bed. During the last week he sank rapidly every day until he quickly and peacefully passed away. The deceased was a member of the "Evergreen" Masonic Lodge. He funeral was conducted by members of that order, quite a number being present from Perth and other parts. William Morrison March 2020
