John and Elizabeth Franklin Gorn had as their first son, Henry Gorin, born 1793 (making him born in KY); died 1840; married March 1818 in Logan Co KY to Maria Lucretia Whitaker. It appears that Henry moved from Glasgow to Logan Co in 1818 as deeds show him there, living in Russellville, the county seat. He appears on the records there through 1834 with more deeds later from Maria, shown widow. Maria was a SANFORD descendant tracing from Sir Humphrey Sanford (d 1741) who married Rebecca Walker (d/o Job Walker From WALES) and Rebecca Foillet (d/o of Lord Folliet)). She was the granddaughter of Sir Henry Follitt (d 1622) who was a descendant of King Edward I. Rebecca Follitt Sanford had a son, Humphrey Sanford who md Elizabeth Jones who had dau Penelope Edwards (b 1723 in England). Penelope married Haden Edwards in Bourbon Co KY and had son: Benjamin Edwards (b 1752 VA, died 1826, md Margaret Beall). They had: Maria Whitaker who married Henry Gorin, son of John and Elizabeth Franklin Gorin. I wonder if this family knew the Gorin's and Gorham's when they lived there? Henry and Maria had as children: Penelope E, Caroline L, Mary Margret, Matilda Lucretia, William Henry, Florida Pope, Julia Presyllia, Malinda and Maria. John & Elizabeth had as their next son, John Gorin Jr. He was born between 1795-1797 in KY (some records show VA but the family was already here); died March 1861; married 18 May 1819 in Logan Co KY to Eliza Frances Wilson. It may be that John met his wife in Logan on a visit to his bro Henry, he still appears in Barren Co records in 1820 and in Monroe Co in 1821 (formed from Barren Co in 1820). He had children Mary Franklin (named for his bro or his mother's maiden name?), Thomas H (named for the Gorhams? - first appearance of any Thomas in the lines), William W, James WIlson, Jane, Margaret R, Ella Pope and John Curran Gorin. Deeds in Logan Co begin in 1829 tho he was there earlier. They had one deed with Presley Edwards - possibly why his bro named a daughter Preslyia (of variant spellings). There is one deed involving Franklin Gorin Harvey who was the son of one of his sisters who had also moved to Logan Co. John Jr drowed in early 1861 near Eddyville KY, had been out collecting money in his position; had $40,000. on him when found. At the same time, the Gorham family had already moved here; Thomas Gorham Jr was born in PA but the family came back and settled in Logan Co. Sandi Col.
