I'm down with a flu bug or virus so decided to do something interesting today. I've been reading censuses and solved one problem, created another. 1860 census: Gladin Gorin, 51, farmer, personal worth: $32,000; property worth: $94,380, born KY. Wife: Jane B [Wormley], 46, born KY. Daughter Mary 16, born TN; son Joseph M, 13, born AL and Daughter Lou F, 5, born AL. Township 14, Range 4. Shiloh, East Marengo, AL. He had a LOT of money for 1860! Now - this is Gladin Gorin Sr's son. I knew he had married in TN to Jane 12 Dec 1834 (Madison Co) and had his children - but lost them - they were in AL. This is a lead on the AL Gorin's I've been chasing for years. But - a new one that I can't peg. At house 67-67 in Mobile Ward 3, Mobile AL, in a boarding house with professionals is Thomas A Gorin, 31`, lawyer, born KY. I have no idea of who he is. Gladin Sr had a son Thompson B - wrong initial, wrong location, wrong time. I can't match him up with any known Thomas I have on file. Always another puzzle. Sandi Col.
