There is a William GORBY in the 1870 Wetzel Co census that is about the right age of your William (who married Rebecca JACKSON). Magnolia Twp, 188-188 William GORBY, age 50, VA, farmer Elcy, 50, VA, keep house Josephus, 15, VA Dudly, 15, VA William, 14, VA Selby, 12, VA James, 10, VA There are several other GORBY families in 1870 Wetzel Co; several around this William's age and a couple that could be married children of this William. Do you know the names of Rebecca's children? This GORBY family lives close to some of my MORGAN relatives, however, I didn't notice MORGAN listed as one of the surnames you are researching.
