Gordon Distribution Maps 1850-1990
Distribution maps are a valuable tool in understanding the immigration, migration and
population growth patterns of a surname within the United States as recorded on the
censuses. For instance you can see that in 1850 the instance of the surname Gordon in North
Carolina was only about 1 in every 10,000 people; by 1880 the occurrence was approximately
1 in every 500 people. Thus we know that, most likely, there was a combination of high birth
rate among the Gordons in the state and migration/immigration of new families with the
Gordon surname. Virginia has maintained a fairly steady percentage of Gordons in her
population with an occurrence rate of approximately 1 in every 1,000 people living in the
state being named Gordon! To get a true picture you must also check out any spelling
variations of the surname and factor in those population rates as well. You can check out the
