Dear Clay, I don't have all the census enumerations you asked for, but I did find a few. As Dale Cook pointed out, the earlier census reports only show head of household, and do not include ages or names of those living within that household. It would appear that your John Gorham, wife Thankful, and son William (b 1788) all remained on Nantucket. I see no sign of them in Norwalk, Fairfield, CT. I don't find anything definitive until 1820, where several Gorhams appear as Heads of Household on Nantucket: 1820 > MASSACHUSETTS > NANTUCKET > NANTUCKET Series: M33 Roll: 52 Page: 34 Davis 2nd Gorham Josiah Gorham John Gorham Thankful Gorham Wm Gorham 1820 > MASSACHUSETTS > NANTUCKET > NANTUCKET Series: M33 Roll: 52 Page: 35 Nath'l Gorham James Gorham In the 1860 census (enumerated 1 June), your William Gorham, Tamar and possibly son Francis Gorham are residents of the Alms House on Nantucket and appear thusly: > 1860 > MASSACHUSETTS > NANTUCKET > NANTUCKET > Series: M653 Roll: 513 Page: 633 > The Alms House > William Gorham, age 72, b MA > Tamar Gorham, age 71, b MA > Francis Gorham, age 37?, b MA George R.
