2 - Adam Gordon Anderson emigrated from Scotland to southwestern Quebec in 1833 at the age of 15 with his parents and five of his siblings. He was the only one to cross over into the United States. From Huntingdon, Quebec he moved to Westville, Fr anklin County, New York, where the 1850 census lists him as "farmer". His second son, William Davie, was born at Malone, New York in December of 1850. His first wife, Mary Ann (MacFarlane) died in 1858. He married Nancy Ann (Smith) in 1860, and i s in Westville for the 1860 census. Sometime during the 1860's the family went west to Remington/Delphi, Indiana and on to Cook County, Illinois sometime before 1868 when Adam Gordon, Jr. was born there. Apparently the family returned to Remington , Indiana where their last two children were born. Flora was born and died there in infancy (1871-2) and Angus Smith was born there in 1873. They moved to the Scotch Ridge area (Carlisle), Warren County, Iowa about 1876. Nancy Ann died in 1884, an d was buried at Avon Cemetery southeast of Des Moines. In his later years Adam Gordon lived with his son, Adam Gordon, Jr. at Cumming, Iowa, where he died in 1894.

Of Adam Gordon, Arthur G. Anderson in his account of the past, wrote: "Memory of my grandfather Anderson is almost totally lacking. He lived with Uncle Gordon. A large cane chair was his, and I seem to remember that at some time he occupied it, bu t my next vague memory in this respect is that it was empty, and we were there for his funeral. He had come into Iowa from Indiana, probably from near Remington, Indiana. It was said that he had heard of Scotch Ridge in Iowa, and assumed that it w as a Scotch community. He made the trek to it and found little more than an area, but settled there. At the time he came the country was open prairie....."
