Linda Clark of Augusta, GA (dcclark@bellsouth.net) offered via email, Aug. 1999: I have been researching the Irish family from Falmouth and Gorham and have found the information that you have at www.gentree.com. I have a question. In the book the History Of Gorham, Maine it says that Mary Gorham Phinney was the daughter of Capt. John Phinney and Martha Coleman. I see in your information that it is said that she was the daughter of Capt. John Gorham and Martha Coleman.
