I was tired of working on other people's family trees last night so went back to find things I'd missed. Ancestry.com (which is so expensive anymore I don't know if I can re-sub in Jan!) has added a lot of books/newspapers, etc. In scanning last night - Underwood Gorin - a mysterious son of Franklin Gorin of Mammoth Cave fame ... he just doesn't appear much. I found that in 1854 he was a student at Dickinson College. I can't find the location (it's a huge book) but there is a very old college of that name in Carlyle PA. Will investigate more. Found a large write-up on J Proctor Knott who was an ex-Governor of KY. His daughter Joanna married Rev. Marcellus Gladden Gorin of the Henry Gorin line - I printed off quite a bit as the Knott/McElroy/McClure is quite noted both in Scotch-Irish and American history. J Proctor Knott came to fame in Barren Co where I live when he was riding a stage coach coming from Mammoth Cave and was robbed by Jesse James. Found a lot of information and several wonderful photographs on Gladden Gorin Hughlett (also spelled Hewlett etal). He was the son of Toliver and Frances (Gorin) Hughlett, she the d/o Gladin Gorin and Nancy Hinch. I was thrilled to see what he and wife looked like (especially that old of a Gorin wife) - very stern! Found a family tree on Elizabeth Lawver who was the wife of Dr Marcellus George Gorin (s/o of Marcellus above).. she was directly descended from the Shellenberger family of Switzerland who were noted watch makers. Then a book on the Underwood Families of America (huge so printed off just what pertained). Franklin Gorin's first wife was Louisa Frances Underwood. Her brother was Joseph Rogers Underwood who was a law partner of Franklin's and had an extraordinary career in Glasgow, Bowling Green (Warren Co) and elsewhere. Frances Rogers who was one of the mothers in this line had a direct line back to John Rogers, the Martyr; and through Frances' mother, Frances Pollard, a direct descent from the first Col. William Byrd. Next an intriguing entry on Charles Madison Gorin, s/o John Darns Gorin Jr - found his marriage to Josephine Erickson from Sweden. I have to check this again as it appears they became Mormons, a first in the family tree. I think that's all - if anyone wants more information on any of these, yell! Happy Thanksgiving all!
