Surnames: Gorham-Williamson-Loomis-York Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BiZ.2ACIB/6.16.97.98.195.212 Message Board Post: The most far back I have is to a John Gorham (Surveryor General or Surveyor of Franklin Cnty, GA) who married Jennett Williamson about 1790. They only had the one child Thomas Gorham in 1794. She went on to marry again to a Henley. At any rate, it is this John Gorham I am stumped on, where or who he comes from although some have emailed me ideas. Have reason to believe he may have been born in North Carolina. Have you learned anymore? If so email at bmclaurin@cavignac.com and post here.
