Son of John Gorham according to a grandson's biography.

Bible records copied by the WPA project and filed in the Robertson County library gives his birth and death dates, his wife’s name as Nancy, and lists five children: T. J. (1832-1875), George M. (1815–1877), William (1820-1888), Thornton F. (1830-1896), and Lydia Ann (1821-1900).

Another Bible lists these children and more: John Graves (1810), George Madison (1815), Zirelda Emaline Singleton (1818), William (1820), Lydia Ann (1821), Thomas Jefferson (1823), Buford (1825), Priscilla (1827), Thornton P. [sic] (1830), Andrew Jackson (1832), Boswell Yates Barlton (1835).

A marriage record for a George Gorham to Sally Graves dated 30 June 1807 is found in Fayette County records; another to her sister Nancy Graves on 18 September 1808 (apparently after the death of Sally). The marriages are also recorded in Bourbon County records, with slightly different dates. The women were daughters of John and Lydia Graves.

The death date matches the George Gorham who died in Fayette County per Clift’s Kentucky Obituaries.
