I haven't posted anything for a long time and need to correct an error on my files and toss you out a dilemma! First the error: Rowan T Gorin was the son of John Gorin Sr of Glasgow & his second wife, Elizabeth Turpin Duvall. He was born abt 1827 here in Glasgow and married Nancy James. I have shown them with 3 children - Susan Emma, Annie and James S. On my website, I have an extra Emma which needs to be removed. Susan Emma married Jesse Gideon Reynolds and I lose them pretty quickly; they married 2 Dec 1877. I show Annie Gorin marrying the same man in 1884 but I cannot find my documentation now .. so this is pending. James S Gorin married Sarah Ellen Reynolds 14 Apr 1877 in Barren Co KY. I'll come back to this line in a minute; this is my problem area. Rowan T had another son I'd never found, John Gorin who would have been born ca 1867. He likely died early as he does not appear on the 1880 Barren Co census with the family. Rowan in 1870 was also taking care of one of his brothers, Robert, who was an epileptic, age 32. I just found the marriage of Henry Jerome Gorin (s/o Gladden, grand s/o John Darns Gorin, gg grandson of Henry Gorin) in Sedgewick Co KS. His wife was E(lizabeth) W Smith; married 21 Nov 1881. I had her name but not the location/date of the marriage. I also fund the marriage of Joseph Richard Gorin (Henry Jerome's brother) to Mary E Hume in Sedgewick Co KS on 31 Jul 1886. There is a later marriage of Mary E Hume Gorin to William J Jolly there 19 May 1896 so he was either deceased or they had divorced. Now - let's go to James S Gorin above. He married Sarah E Reynolds (date & location not known, but the Gorin, Duvall, Reynolds and James families all lived in Rocky Hill community in Barren Co.) By 1884 there is no James S Gorin and I find his widow, Sarah E Reynolds Gorin possibly married to two men the same year. One can't be right, but I can't find, yet, any other Sarah E Gorin's. One Sarah E married a J W McCormic ca 1884 and in their household, in Sedgewick Co KS is Joshua Goran/Gorran - who was one of the four sons of James S & Sarah. I cannot find a marriage record for them as part of the marriages for that county from 1870's and 1880's are missing. None of the other 3 boys are listed. Then, yesterday I was in for a shocker. There is a marriage in Warren Co KY of a Sarah E Gorin to a William Clayton Magers, 1884. She is definitely one of our Gorin's (or wife of) as one of the witnesses was George Rogers Gorin - quite related to this lines. By 1880, this family is living in Warren Co IL; then later to Grayson Co TX after Sarah had died. I have no idea of who this gal is! Now, John Gorin Sr & second wife had 4 sons. Two of the sons disappear early and I'm hoping if I can track them down that they possibly had a daughter named Sarah E. One was Allen Gorin who by 1850 was living in Christian Co KY. I can't find him past that census; he was a stage coach driver. Another son was William who also married and supposedly had 4 children - undetermined name and gender. Robert didn't marry due to his epilepsy and died in his 30's. So - I'm off to try to find more clues ... I thought I had all these guys pegged! Sandi
