There is a pedigree of this family in the visitation of London, 1633-35 (Harleian Society, p. 327). It begins with William Gorsuch, merchant, of London, "descended out of Lancashire from Gorsuch nigh Ormschurch," who married Amite, daughter of Hillson, and neice of Robert HiIlson, merchant, of London. They had a son, the testator, Daniel Gorsuch, merchant, of London, and Alderman's deputy for Bishopsgate Ward, who married Alice, daughter of John Hall, of London, merchant, and sometime one of the Bridge- masters. Daniel Gorsuch had two children, Rev. John (above) and Katherine, wife of Thomas Haynes, of Auborne, Wiltshire.]

Dr Thomas Gerrard stirred up much political problems as long as he was living in Maryland, and on the Lord Baltimore Council. In 1638, Thomas Gerrard, a Catholic, took the keys to the first Protestant Church. He was fined 500 pound of tobacco which was to go toward getting the first Protestant Minister in the Colony.

William Penley, one of Gerrard's servants, was brought with him from England to the Colony of Maryland, and when Gerrard left Maryland and crossed the Potomic into Northtumberland County, Virginia., he took his servants with him. William Penley's children were, no doubt, servants of the Gerrards, and thus left no records or any description.
There has to be a generation missing between this William Penley the Emigrant, and William Penley who died in Richmond County, Virginia, in 1746.
Since the Emigrants children were still servants and did not own any land, etc., there is no way to trace their names. Suffice it to say that William Penley who died in Richmond County, Virginia, was the grandson of William Penley the Emigrant.
A thorough search has been made in all the Virginia records, and no evidence was found of the name of the father of William Penley.¹

Robert Harrison, born in old Rappahannock County north of the river in North Farnham Parish, Oct. 23 1674, the son of Andrew and Thomasine Harrison (from North Farnham Parish Register) Old Rappahannock County was divided in 1692 into Essex county, that part South of the Rappahannock River and Richmond County that part north of the river.

The first record that we find of Robert, he is in Northumberland County. (Northumberland County Book 1706-1720) Robert Harrison deeds the piece of land he bought from Joseph Adams to his daughter, Mary Harrison 207 A. and bequeaths to his daughter, Alice, 107 A. he bought from Samuel Churchill, Dec.19, 1705. His wife at this time was named Elizabeth as recorded by Robert Harrison, March 19. 1711-12.

From the Northern Neck grants we learn that on Dec. 28, 1708 Robert Harrison was granted by Marguerite, Lady Culpeper and Thomas Lord Fairfax and Cathrine, his wife, 450 A. in Richmond County granted to Ralph Whiting, March 11, 1694-95. It appears there is a surplus of 218 A. not yet granted. The entire 668 A. of land is granted unto Robert Harrison. From a white oak it runs to Chingoteague Creek to corner of John Berrys cleared ground, To a white Oak in sight of Robert Harrison’s home to James Key's line to Harry Berry's line. Also Robert Harrison is granted 68 A. in Richmond by the Rt. Honerable Cathrine, Lady Fairfax, sole proprietor of the Northern Neck. Bordered on John Berry’s land. Speaks of Strothers Creek. Sept. 23, 1718 (Northern Neck Grants)

"The will of Adam Woffendall, dated 25 April 1703 and proved 7 June 1704 bequeathed to each of his "sons" Harrison and Strother 150 acres of land; this phraseology is deceiving as subsequent records assure us that the legatees were his two sons-in-law Robert Harrison and Benjamin Strother (16??-1752) who was sheriff of Richmond County in 1717. The land of Benjamin Strother fell into King George Countv in 1721 and those records abound with genealogical material in regard to the Strother family."

Note:
The Virginia Genealogical Society (cited below) discussed an interesting Virginia estate case that eventually involved a John Easton. The will of a Mr. William Woffendall, recorded 10/26/1747, King George County, Virginia. had stipulated that his wife Tabitha (Payne?) would receive his estate and upon her death his estate would be distributed to the following persons: Richard Drake, Benjamin Drake, Henry Drake, Mary Sims, Sarah Clayton, and Margaret Dodd. However, Tabitha subsequently married two more times (her third husband being George Strother, 1st cousin to William Woffendall) and passed away in 1790. 50+ years after William Woffendall died, 1791, the heirs of those six individuals named above received shares in the estate. John Easton was named as a plaintiff on behalf of his wife "Eliza" (nee Drake - heir to Henry Drake) along with James Drake and "Richard Drake`s son". They each received a little over 3 English Ls. I am not yet certain it is THIS John Eastin/Easton, but place and time do fit. I have seen family trees that state that Elizabeth was married to a William Easton whose father was Richard Easton, so they may be a different couple altogether (interestingly, it was an Easton), but it is John who is named in this settlement. This may explain why I have found difficulty in tracing Mary Orchard and matters concerning birth years for Mary (see Mary`s insert.) According to the information available to me at this time, John`s oldest 4 children seemed to arrive starting in 1792 (a year after the settlement) after a 10-year "break" in children. If you have information that might help me to clarify this, I would appreciate hearing from you!

[Susanna F. Graham, owner of Bushy Park and Enfield, was the daughter of John and Ann (Fowke) Hooe and widow of Dr. George Graham (d. 1816). Her stepdaughter’s husband, James Kempe, killed her brother Bernard Hooe Jr. in a duel in 1809.1 She was born 1770/80.2 Her will was made 8 September 1827 and probated 1 April 1833. Prince William County, Virginia, Will Book N is missing pages 534-535 which contained the beginning of this will. Fortunately, the will was also recorded in Madison County, Tennessee, Will Book 2, pages 393-399. We are pleased to publish the will in its entirety from the Tennessee document.].¹
