At the same time, Wade Junior would have only been 4 years old and could not have made these land purchases himself. Further research of land records of this period show that James Gordon, Wade Junior's older brother, was making numerous land purchases at Columbus and the speculation is that James bought land in Wade Junior's name.

     Wade Hampton Sr. Gordon was born circa 1795 at South Carolina.¹ He married Margaret (?) circa 1823. Wade Hampton Gordon, Sr.'s will, written August 27, 1839 was filed for probation on January 7, 1840 so it is assumed that he died in late 1839.² Wade Hampton Sr. Gordon was buried in December 1839 at Monroe County, Mississippi. His estate was probated on 7 January 1840 at Aberdeen, Monroe County, Mississippi.²
     Wade Hampton Gordon Sr. was a descendent of "William The Red" Gordon of Scotland. Wade Hampton Gordon Sr. was born in Scotland in the late 1790's. Family tradition has it that Wade's father was Robert Gordon's brother.

The exact year that Wade Sr. and Margaret settled in Lowndes Co. is not known. In their westward migration by covered wagon, they had intended to settle in Texas. They settled in Alabama for a time and the next leg of their journey brought them to the Calendonia area in Monroe County, which later became Lowndes County. Wade Hampton Gordon Sr. is listed in the 1817-1830 Lowndes Co. Residents Record. The 1830 census shows that they had 3 sons under 5 years of age and a 40 to 50 year old female (presumed to be either his or her mother) in the household and owned 4 slaves.

The first land recorded in his name was a U.S. Patent dated 19 Nov 1832 which consisted of 80.6 acres in Section 26 (now the Lakeview Hills area). Wade Sr. became a land agent of some substance (his land transactions are recorded in the Lowndes County Courthouse). The 1837 census shows that he had 3 acres of cotton in 1836 and produced one bale. Evidently he farmed only enough to satisfy their needs since his main interest appears to have been in real estate. Land transactions by Gordons date back to 1803 but it is unclear as to how they relate to Wade Hampton Sr.

He and Margaret had 8 sons and 2 daughters. One daughter died at an early age and the sons included James, John, Hilliard, Wade Hampton, and Issac. The Gordons were Cumberland Presbyterians and he was a trustee at the Salem Cumberland Presbyterian Church when it was built in 1838 near the fork of the Military and Wolfe roads. The church was abandoned during the Civil War and later rebuilt as a residence, now located near Mullins Wells Store.

Gordon's will, written 27 Aug 1839, was filed for probation on 7 Jan 1840, so it is assumed that he died in late 1839. It is believed that he was buried in that area, as mid-winter travel, even for burial, was limited. James H. Turner was executor and Thomas T. Moore was appointed guardian of the minor children.

On 10 Feb 1840, Margaret sold to Thomas T. Moore, the last of their property, 120 acres in Sections 25 and 36 for $50.00. (Now owned by three individuals, Wilkes, Ferguson, and Williamson, and the National Bank of Commerce.).³ On on 1 October 1833 at Lowndes County, Mississippi,, Wade Hampton Sr. Gordon bought land.
