Hi Charleen, I'd also love a copy of your coat of arms. I have several of them and wonder if the one you have is the same as any I have and that I would be willing to share. Virginia Gayle Gorham (Ralph, Captain John, Shubael, Captain George, Captain George, Frederick, Joseph, Chester, Arwin, Chester, Creighton). I thought I read somewhere that the Philip was the ship Ralph and John came over on, docked in the south, and that there was another brother with John who stayed down south, may have even settled Kentucky or some such! A man with one short or mangled arm. I always fantasized that he was persecuted in the Star Chamber courts as a Puritan ... LOL. My branch (Joseph's son, Chester) was one of the original founders of the Gorham Brothers Co., Plywoods and Veneers, of Mt. Pleasant, MI.

Makes us all related. I have a coat of arms, supposed to be the Gorham coat of arms. It is framed, but I can scan it and share it.
