Surnames: Gorham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BiZ.2ACIB/260.1.1.2 Message Board Post: I have a Great Grandfather, Henry G. Gorham, that was born in Hennipen, IL in 1848 and died in Morris, IL (Grundy Co.) in 1932. His father was Gardner T. Gorham, Born1804 in New York, and died in Morris in 1872. Gardner Homesteaded the farm I now live on in 1836, here in Grundy County. My Children are the 6th generation to live here. Minooka is only about 12 miles away. I have lived here all my life and I have never known of any Gorhams around here that weren't closely related. But I do not know what brothers either Gardner or Henry had. I too would be interested in any additonal information. Oh, and if it helps, Gardner married Elizabeth Newport.
