Surnames: Johns, Gorham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BiZ.2ACIB/293.1.1.1 Message Board Post: You're welcome. You can check census records for further proof, and note that I have posted the will of Stratton Gorham (I used the spelling Strattan instead of Stratton in my subject line for the will, because that is how it is spelled in the will, but his tombstone says Stratton.) There is a marriage record for Stratton Gorham and Mary "Polly" Johns in Clinton County. They were married May 6, 1824. Several of Stratton's children and other extended family members ended up moving west to Berrien County, Michigan, which is where your Ira ended up.
