Good afternoon everyone, first off I am not related to the Gorham family, but I am looking for info about a certain family member. Let me explain. My grandpa ERNEST HERMAN WENZEL born 11-22-1883 somewhere in MO, was the son of HARRIET (HATTIE) MCKEE and someone named WENZEL. He was born out of wedlock. As it turns out HATTIE was found in the 1880 MO census in Desoto, Jefferson county, MO in the household of CORNELIUS GORHAM 53 and his wife AMANDA GORHAM 44 and several of their children. HATTIE was listed as 19, servant. Is anyone out there researching this GORHAM family? Would you know of any Wenzels in the area? Are there any family stories about a servant living in the home being in a "delicate condition" and not married? Any help at all would be wonderful! Thank you, Pam
