Hi Linda, I have limited info on that Nathaniel GORHAM. My references are 1 Ancestors of the American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts, 1995, pg 343 2. Family Histories of Central New York, vol II, pg 536 3 Capt John Gorham of Mass, Alfred Averill Knapp, 1961 (only comes down to his parents) That Nathaniel (1738-1796), is the great great grandson of my 8th great grandfather Capt John GORHAM. He married Rebecca CALL and had at least one son. How can I help you? If you are a lineal descendant of Nathaniel Gorham who signed the Bill of Rights, we are cousins, and I'd be pleased to share my full GORHAM lineage with you. Marty Irons May all your ancestors YELL at you, telling you how and where to find them. PS: Will the parents of my GGGF John F Irons please yell louder!!!

I believe Nathaniel Gorham also signed the Constitution as representative from Mass. There is reference to his being one of the 13 or 15 presidents before George Washington.
