Adam J. Beveridge was the enumerator for the Parish of Andover. He was born on 28 Dec 1826 in Fossaway, Kinroshire, Scotland, the son of William and Amelia. He moved to New Brunswick in May 1840. In September 1851, at the time when he was enumerating Andover Parish, Beveridge was living in Middle Andover with his wife Amanda E. Murphy (born in New Brunswick), his 2-year old son William H., and his six-month old son Adam J. His occupation is listed as "clerk," which would help explain why he was chosen to conduct the census; the 1861 census informs us that the family was Presbyterian.
Four months later, in January 1852, St.Francis Parish was enumerated by William D. Kearny. At that time, Beveridge and his family were living in St. Francis in the far western reaches of settlement, having moved there sometime in the previous four months (they are one of a number of families that show up two times in the 1851 census). At that time, Adam's profession is listed as "merchant," indicating that he had made the move perhaps in the hopes of establishing a business in that settlement. Ten years later, in 1861, the family was still living in St. Francis, though Adam is listed as a "farmer." By the time of the 1871 census, they had moved back to the Andover region, and are living in Gordon Parish; Adam is again listed as a "farmer." Amanda died in 1873, and in 1876 Adam remarried to the widow of Aaron Murphy. He died on 7 Oct 1907 at the age of 82.
