Thomas Gorham is first found in the 1 October 1740 lease in Prince William (later Loudoun) County to “John Gorum and Mary, his wife, and Thomas Gorum his son”.

Marries Margaret Cotton

Thomas Gorham married Margaret Cotton, daughter of William Cotton, sometime around 1761 (their son John was born about 1762). The Loudoun County will of William Cotton, written on 30 June 1787 and proved on 9 June 1788, mentions two sons named William and John and two daughters, Margaret Gorham and Francis Spurr, to whom he gave “each a mourning ring of the value of thirty shillings”.7 All four children were then or later located in Fayette County, Kentucky. William Cotton himself was evidently married to Mary Taylor, as the will of Henry Taylor names his “son-in-law William Cotton
His widow, Margaret, died in late 1817. Her estate, consisting mainly of household goods, was appraised on 13 December 1817 and recorded a month later.

Twelve Children:

10 Joshua Gorham (c1785 – c1851) He was born about 1785, according to the 1850 Logan County census. (Oddly, his state of birth is written as Pennsylvania, although none of his children claimed that in the 1880 census.) He appears to be in his father’s household in the 1810 census, but he was head of his own Logan County household by 1820. On 19 October 1809 his father sold him 181 acres “whereon I now live” for $1.68 He was probably married shortly after 1810, as the 1820 census shows him with five children under the age of 10. He is in the 1830 Logan census, age 40-50, with eight children in the household, and in the 1840 census with six children. The 1850 Logan County census shows him as age 64, with a wife Elizabeth and three children: Penelope (23), Presley (18) and Jackson (16). Probably the same Elizabeth was his wife when she released dower in a sale of his inherited land in 1814.69 Descendants report that she was Elizabeth Addison. The widow Elizabeth is in the 1860 census (age 64) as a domestic with an apparent sister Tabitha Addison. Some of the children below are from descendants
