A gal named Elizabeth Handler has been working with me on the descendants of Thomas Jefferson Gorin from here in Glasgow and later of Louisville KY - whose later family our family is close to in friendship. She is opening up a whole new line out of one of Thomas Jefferson's daughters. But the biggie is that we finally have a date on the death of Elizabeth Franklin Gorin, first wife of John Gorin. Her stone was stolen and it was hard to date her death because John married another Elizabeth and deeds etc looked the same. We knew it was prior to 1835, the date of his marriage to Elizabeth Turpin Duvall. Here is the post from Elizabeth for your information. Bible, published in Philadelphia by J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1856 Glued in the front are obituaries for Thomas Jefferson Gorin (d. Thursday, January 11, 1883).
