General Notes: Husband - Samuel Gorton

---

He came with his father to New England in 1636, lived with him at War-wick and received from him a deed for his interest in the property. He, like his father, gained the friendship and goodwill of the Indian tribes around them. He was captain of the military company of the town and in 1678 was a member of the court at Newport to try cases against the Indians for depreda-tions committed during King Philip's war. During the years 1676 to 1683 he was a
mem-ber of the upper house of assembly. He also filled the office of assistant judge two terms; was elected for a third term but declined to serve.
