  • Notes: 

  • The current tombstone for Ann Gorham has her death date as 21 FEB 1830, the same date as her birth date. However, a transcription of an earlier tombstone in the Medford vital records gives her death date as 01 FEB 1830. Further research is needed to determine which date is in error.
