Dear Sarah,
Was looking into the James Gorrell mystery again, and remembered this post you wrote about
the family "rumor". I found a James Gorrell in the 1850 US census in Fleming Co.
KY, Division 2 - it was listed as Jmaes Gorrell (which is why it maybe slipped under the
radar...) He was married to a Susan F. Gorrell, and had a son - Manson! Could this be the
one and the same James Gorrell that didn't go to Indiana with Rebecca and the kids?
In the census he says he was from Virginia (but I've found a lot of discrepencies in
places people say they're from, or other people give the info and just guess) he was a
Cooper, and son Manson a joiner. What do you think?
Is this our man?
