A very kind lady, Tara Painter, wrote me yesterday and gave me some help on the Dr William Henry Gorin family of Clay Co MO that I mentioned recently. I haven't had time to pursue this line in depth until finding the articles I recently mentioned. Tara sent the following: Sarah Chancellor whom I have listed as the wife of Dr William Henry Gorin is really spelled Chanslor. It is shown as Chancellor on a few records, but the family spelled it differently. She was the daughter of Achsah Anderson (mother) and James Chanslor who married in Mason Co KY. They are shown on the 1850 Clay Co Census with Sarah being 13 and born MO; and on the 1860 Clay Co Census in the Fishing River Township. On the latter Sarah has married WIlliam and both of them are residing with her parents. She is shown as 21 and William is shown as 30, physician, born KY. Tara also gave me the link to the Missouri City (Clay Co) Cemetery which records the following burials: This cemetery is located in the Southeastern part of Clay County, MO. It is about in the center of the South half of Section 8, Township 51N. R. 30W, and is on high ground on the north edge of the town of Missouri City. Although there were earlier burials, the cemetery was first officially started in 1857 with additions being made in 1873, 1915 and 1923. It lies along a ridge and is roughly 150 to 200 feet wide by 1200 feet long. Chanslor, Achsah, 12/22/1811 to 2/22/1886 Chanslor, James, 11/13/1800 to 10/12/1873 Diggs, Perry Rider, 1859/1948, wife, Florida Gorin, 1869 Gorin, Florida, 1869, husband, Perry Rider Diggs Gorin, Henry I., 1861/1896 Gorin, John W., 1866/1914 Gorin, Leona, 1876, husband, Edgar Allan Poe Gorin, Sarah A., Mrs. 1837/1929, husband, William H.
