Young Gorton was lost during storm and vessel wreck between Rhode Island coast and New London, Conn., August 9, 1723. (Hempstead Diary, Conn. Archives.") "Samuel Gorton 2d, of John and Elizabeth, died Sept. 9, 1724." (Warwick Records.) A likely error, and he may have been designated as the second to distinguish him from another older, among those living, bearing same name.
