(Yes, she had all those names) William and Sarah Gorrell married Dec 9, 1849 in Pettis County, Missouri They were in the 1850 census for Pettis County in their own house, but no children yet. By 1855 they had moved on to Henry County, Missouri and they were found in the 1860 Deepwater Township, Henry County, Missouri census with these chidren... Lucy I. Gorrell 5 Susan R. Gorrell 1 (They had one son between Lucy and Susan and his name was William Anthony Gorrell. He was born 1856 and died 1857. He is buried in Bear Creek Cemetery, Bear Creek Township, Henry County, Missouri. I have a picture of his gravemarker.) After 1860 there seems to be no records of this family except for 2 of the total 4 children. After the 1860 census 1 more child, Anne, was born in 1863. Lucy Isabelle Gorrell is my great great grandmother and she married John Monroe White in March 20, 1881 possibly in Nebraska. I have this family in the 1900 census. Anne Elizabeth Gorrell married James Worley in September 04, 1880 in Taylor Station, Pottawattamie County, Iowa. This family can be traced from 1880 on. So, far the problem is that after the 1860 census I can not find the parents William and Sarah Gorrell. The family is not listed in the 1870 census of Henry County, Missouri. Where then did they go?? By 1880 one daughter had gotten married in Iowa and by 1881 another daughter had gotten married possibly in Nebraska. When I check for the Gorrell's though they just can' t be found. If anyone knows of this family please email me at cataholic@keyconn.net or post to me here. Thanks Mrs. Nevada Boslet
