A lot of the Gorrell family relationships seem to be speculation... Since we know Abraham Gorrell (1726-1802 wp) had Andrew Gorrell, Ann (Agnes) Hamilton Gorrell, and Jane Gorrell in his old age (probably starting at around age 60 --- he was 64 when Ann (Agnes) Hamilton Gorrell was born) it seems likely he would have been married before, as a younger man. I know about "Uncle Andy" from my g-grandfather's journal, and Ann(Agnes) Hamilton Gorrell's details because she is my direct line and again mentioned in the journal; her sister Jane married Ann's husband after Ann died and Ann's grandson Robert Lawson Whitelock is "buried at the feet of Aunt Jane" in the Rock Run Cemetery. I guess now I need hard proof to be convinced Abraham Gorrell was neither married as a young man, nor a father before age 60. Does anyone have this?
