First of all. There are many, many, many differences in the pedigrees and information that I'll be posting. It seems every researcher over the years has some variation whether it be different children, difference is birth and death dates ... this seems to have been a problem going on for many years. I cannot guarantee the total accuracy of any of this information. I may have to change some of it as I go along and find more documentation. Much of my findings are based on other descendants' memories, old letters, as well from documented sources. The documented ones I'm not worried about - you can usually count on them! Where I have our family plugged in might prove to be wrong later on. But this one thing I am certain. This is where we belong. One problem lies in the fact that generation after generation the same names are used to the point of insanity at times! Many lines have not been well traced; some researchers have several families mixed together based on the constant reusing of the same names over and over. But the deeper I dig the more I know this is our family heritage - somewhere buried in the old records and the untraced lines and the errors. My supposition is through this mysterious John Gorham born 1762-64. There are 2 or 3 different variations on his family too - some have him married to a Priscilla and dying in Fayette Co. Some have him as a farmer who lived in Todd Co - at least for a time. Some don't both to trace him at all. I think this is our John Gorin based on what I sent out this morning. If I find differently I will post it believe me! I am not tracing out here for the list anyone past who I trust are the parents backward, i.e., I'll quit with whom I think are the parents. I am accumulating data on the later ones just for clues - this is how I found the one fellow I was looking for that led me back to this family. I will give you the first 2 generations in the following post and will add a generation a day. In between times, I'm going to try to get caught up with my other work and answer about 100 emails. And, I might sleep in late! Sandi
