The following comments were provided by Suzy Goulet, Los Angeles, CA:
John J. Gorham served in the war between the States. During the war he served as a Corporal in Massachusetts Company B. He was captured, served a short time in Libby Prison and then released in a prisoner exchange.
Now for a little on the Gorham's. Including John Jr., there were 9 brothers and sisters.
They lived in Billerica. Their house built in 1845 is still there. Owned by someone else but in great shape, listed on the Billerica Historical List. Not opened to the public. I was up there in October. Photo and more information on this next week. So the two brothers John and George were both in MA 29th CO. B. They enlisted in 1861. And then re enlisted. They were both at the siege of Petersburg.
In Aug 1864 at the second battle of Waldon RR, George is over come by the heat. It was said to have been 90/100 Degrees. They were told to take and hold the train, so as to cut off another supply line of General Lee. George is sent to the hospital and then released and discharged because of disability in Jan 1865. He never recovers, goes back to Billerica eventually is listed as insane and remains in the care of his family until he dies in 1875. Things never change, it actually takes an act of congress to get him a pension.
John continues on. He's at Petersburg. On March 25, 1865, he's taken prisoner, his arm is slashed with a saber. He's then released in a prisoner exchanged in April and then Lee surrenders a week or so later. John eventually gets a partial disability pension.
John Gorham and John Sheahan worked at the Jewell Belting Co. in Hartford CT for years. John Shean was Ellen Sheahans' brother.
