During the period 1851 to 1860 David Spence's brothers Robert, James and Adam, his sisters Elizabeth, and Margaret (widow of T. Pedlowe) and his widowed mother, Esther Edwards Spence, came to Canada.
Adam bought the W1/2 Lot 18 Con. 1 in Amaranth Township, Dufferin County, Ontario from John Large about 1857, married Mary Curry about 1859. Their family were Robert, Esther (Mrs. J. Keyes), Jane, (all 3 of whom went to Baltimore in Maryland U.S.A.) and Martha (who died young) and Florence, who married George Torrance, Lot 24 Con. 4 Amaranth. Adam's second wife was Nancy Kincaid. They had one daughter Margaret who married George Burrows of Brampton and had one son, Adam, who died in infancy.
In 1876 Adam sold his farm to Chas. Anderson and moved to W 1/2 Lot 20 Con.6. He took an active part in the affairs of the Amaranth Agricultural Society which held show fairs at Whittington from 1867 to 1876 inclusive. He lived near Creemore for a time, and died in 1899 aged 72.
Adam's stone is right beside his brother David Spence.
