General Notes: Husband -

FAMILY PAPERS (Lottie Gorden Blank, in possession of Leona Blank Speelman)
All dob's of Amstard Sr, marriages to Elizabeth and Margaret, dob's of their children/

CENSUS Record - 1850 Arkansas, Madison County
GORDON (70 Prairie)
Name Age Sex Born Occupation (Additonal Notes)
Armstead 44 M KY Farmer DOB would be abt 1806
Martha 36 F Tenn DOB would be abt 1814
Alfred 16 M Ark Farmer DOB would be abt 1834
Noah 14 M Ark DOB would be abt 1836
Sarah 12 F Ark DOB would be abt 1838
Willia 10 M Ark DOB would be abt 1840
Francis 8 M Ark DOB would be abt 1842
Nancy 5 F Ark DOB would be abt 1845
Armstead 1 M Ark DOB would be abt 1849
Dates match Lottie's for practical purposes, age depending on date of census and whether birthday had occurred for 1850.

From "A Gentle Man of the West", the story of William Wiley Gorden, born 1841:
Amstard Gordon, Sr, son of Sir Hugh Gordon of near Aberdeen and an English servant girl. Born 1806/ Attended Abe Lincoln's wedding in Kentucky (near the same age) Was a devoted assistant minister......Early 1830's went to Arkansas Terr, owned a farm. Married Margaret Harp, remarried after her death. Went to Denver with sons Wm W, George, and Amstard, Jr. Left the farm and a younger daughter in Arkansas with older boys and girls who were married. Worked as part-time minister, died in Denver as a respected citizen.

There is some discrepancy as to the spelling of the first name. Grandma Blank had Amsterd. Other Gordon relatives (and the Ark census) have Armstead. Armstead was a name found fairly often in old records. Our "A" seemed to be that--"A".
