Ny and he died 12-7-1881 in Guilford Twnshp, Winnebago County, Ill. He is the son of JOhn gorham and Ruth Ogden and my gggg grandfather, STephen Gorham is John's brother. Stephen is born in Vermont i believe but John is born 1777 in Vermont or Connecticut. Do not relate Edwin to a Gardner T. Gorham. Those are different families as i have learned latly. I show Edwin married a Rhoda?? who is born 6-14=1814 in Penn and she died 12-28-1891 in Ill. They had a daughter, Lucy Gorham born ?? who married an Edwin Fuller c1876 in Ill.

I just wanted to update you on my info. Do you have any proof of Betsy Thayer in Morgan Co, IL with Stephen Gorham? My Stephen Gorham d in 1855 in Jacksonville, IL. His will (write to Circuit Court Clerk, Morgan Co, Jacksonville, IL for a copy) mentions these children: John, Josiah, Gardner T, Stephen, Jr, Adaline (nee Gorham) Brown, Sarah (nee Gorham) Henderson, and James H.

You can get database of Gorham graves on-line. Google Jacksonville, IL cemeteries. You will find a Jane Gorham listed 1815-1899 ... I hope that is Stephen Sr's 2nd wife and that his grave marker will also be there. However, that Jane might also be Sarah Jane wife of John Gorham (Stephen Sr's son) I hope to visit cemetery at some point. Where are you located? Near Jacksonville, IL? Stephen Sr's wife in 1855 was Jane (possibly a 2nd marriage). I am still trying to prove my Stephen Sr had a wife named Betsy Thayer in IL. My Stephen was in New York, then Ohio (Delaware Co seems correct), then IL. Stephen's family arrived in IL in Morgan County in 1823 purchasing farmland.

He married Aram's daughter, Laurena Gorham. It was a first marraige of Laurena's. Then she married a William Robinson. I know some about this family. But am interested too very much in this Gorham Bible. Does this man still live in Dallas? Laurena was called "Rena" as well. I know Laurena and William robinson are both buried in White Plains, New York. Laurena was 17 when she married William Benson, who was 21. Laurena lived in Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada and William was from St. Mary's, Ont. Canada. Maybe this might help to find this William BENSON with the Family Bible.

So glad to hear from you. No i don't know Molly and who is she? But i am really interested in the will of Stephen Gorham of course. I knew he had died in 1855. and yes i have the right Stephen. He is my gggg grandfather. His son, Aaron/Aram is my family. I have traced Stephen back to Capt. John Gorham and Desire Howland and have lots of dates etc now and much info about the Mayflower as well. And family names and am working on more families etc. I know more about Betsey Thayer Gorham's family, too. I would really love a copy of Stephen's will if u can email that to me. I cannot find where Stephen and Betsey are buried in Morgan Co,. Ill either. I know of Stephen and Betsey's children and am sure Gardner is a son. Still have to locate more on the other children but have found some families. My Aaron Gorham went to live in Ontario Canada altho some of his children were born in New York. HOw do i find US land patents on the net? My sis is a librarian and has access to more than me tho as well. I found Stephen and Betsey living in Delaware Ohio with a sister of Betsey's who married a Daniel Thurston. That was great to find. Stephen was a sea captain but maybe you know all of this. Please email me at my regular email. wouldd love to share more family Marilyn It is fordmarilyn49@yahoo.com I have found some relatives of STephen's sister, Lavina Gorham Pendleton.

Hello list, I don't know if the following information is correct, but it is what I have. Is anyone researching Harriet Delila Gorham who was born in Noeshia, Indian Territory, Missouri on 12 May 1904? She married Elbert Horne. And died in Los Angeles in Jan 2000. This information was given to me verbally and I am trying to verify it or not. I don't know if the spelling is correct for Noeshia and can't find any information on it. Any information or guidance will be appreciated. Thanks, Sandra
