General Notes: Husband - Joseph Gorton

He was a cooper by trade.
He was named after his grandfather, Joseph Gorton, who gave him a tract of one hundred acres of land at or near where the city of Bennington, Vermont, now stands. This he sold for a few hundred dollars and settled in Friendship, Allegany County, New York, where he married, lived and died. He served in the War of 1812, under Colonel Brockway.
