I have just spent the evening going through all the messages posted since 1999 and have questions for quite a few of you. I have also hit a brick wall. All my life I have been told that Nathaniel Gorham who signed the Constitution was my 5th GG, but I am beginning to doubt it. Supposedly we come down through his son Stephen, however, Stephen apparently lived to a ripe old age without ever marrying. The information that I can verify goes back to Josiah, who married Roxana (Johnson), they had a son Henry, born in Ohio, and then the family moved to Illinois, Champaign, South Homer area. There they stayed for three more generations. Roxana died and Josiah remarried a Cleora Brown. Once I came across a reference that made me believe that Josiah's father was Gardiner, but I thought that was so far off the trail, that I didn't keep the information. Can anybody shed any light on this? I would appreciate any leads. Molly Gorham Jager --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
