I'll jump this morning over to the middle brother of three, Henry Gorin. I've spent the most time (I think) on Henry since this is "our" line. You can check out the other descendants of Gladin Gorin on my Gorin website and if you have any questions about him, please post to this list. Henry Gorin was born 26 April 1768 in Fairfax Co VA. This is verified from two sources - his family Bible (which I have) and an old cow bell which is here in town. I think I've told you the story of the cowbell before. He married 10 Feb 1788 in Fairfax Co to Sarah Pell. She was born 3 Feb 1771 in Fairfax, died 25 Jan 1840 in Todd Co KY. Henry died 14 June 1830 in Todd Co and their family cemetery is the only one we can't find - it was on his farm and assumedly has been plowed over, many have looked for it. Henry and his beloved Sally as he called her had a hard start to marriage, as I have indicated previously - her parents were not supportive of their marriage, and they were married in the woods in the presence of friends and minister; she made her own wedding dress. As was common in the earlier days, they raised a large family consisting of: 1 - Amy b 11 Dec 1788 in Fairfax; d 21 Sept 1815 at Spring Creek in Todd Co, md 25 Feb 1803 to John Hinch Jr. 2 - John Darns Gorin b 26 Apr 1790 in Fairfax, d 26 Apr 1846 in Vandalia, Fayette IL (buried Decatur, Macon, IL), md 25 Feb 1808 to Martha Thomas. 3 - Elizabeth Gorin b 23 Aug 1791 Fairfax, md 10 Jan 1803 James McGowan in Christian Co KY (has another marriage). 4 - Nancy b 8 Jan 1793 likely in Fayette Co KY, died Elkton, Todd, KY, md. 27 Sept 1810 in Christian Co KY to George Pollock. 5 - Gladden, b 26 Aug 1794 likely Fayette Co, died single 13 Oct 1813 during the War of 1812 in Upper Sandusky OH 6 - Polly b 25 Feb 1796 likely Fayette, md Mar 1809 in Christian Co KY to William Babb (has another marriage) 7 - Catherine b 15 Dec 1797 either Fayette or Warren CoKY, died 29 June 1842 in Barren Co KY (Gridervile), md 21 Feb 1815 in Christian Co KY to James Lawrence Terry. (we've discussed before). 8 - Jemima(h), born 8 Sept 1799 Warren Co KY, md 10 Apr 1799 Thomas Moss 9 - Martha b 26 Mar 1801 - died 14 June 1801 10 - Sanford Pell b 26 July 1805 Warren Co, d Washington, Tazewell, IL, md 7 Sept 1826 in Todd Co to Martha/Jane Ann Gaunt/Gant. 11 - Lucinda b 20 Oct 1807 Warren Co; d 12 Oct 1878 Todd Co KY; md 17 Sept 1872 in Todd Co to John Harrison 12 - Arelina/Averlina b 21 oct 1809 Warren Co; md 5 May 1831 same to Netwon Cockrill (has another marriage).
