GORSUCH

 Gorsuch/ Dunnuck connections

Source: The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol XXXVI, Oct. 1918, # 4 - pages 421...426 by J.H.P,(Later identified as John Hall Pleasants) Baltimore, MD. (careful - not 100% accurate, but quite detailed.)

Source: Genealogies of Virginia Families Volume III, by Fleet - Hayes, pages 226-231 publ. Genealogical Publ Co., Inc, Baltimore 1981. Beginning on page 232. (from the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography 1909, Vol XVII - pages 288-293) Both articles available from the Illinois State Historical Library, the Old State Capitol, Springfield, Illinois 61701. This article connects the Gorsuch family with Francis Lovelace, colonial governer of N.Y. 1668-1673. It traces the Gorsuch family back to London in 1633. Apparently the Gorsuch Family articles ran in 1909, and from 1916- 1919. I have not seen them all. First see index published in 1981by Fleet & Hayes

Xeroxed pages on the Gorsuch/Dunnuck family from Louesa J. Keys, written about 1934.

A source I have not seen is The Gorsuch Genealogy by Charles W. Gorsuch, Lebanon, 1905, pages 22-82 is said to detail the Ohio branch which I assume would have more on the Dunnuck's.
