The will of Alice Gorsuch. widow of the above mentioned Daniel Gorsuch, which the writer has recently been fortunate enough to locate and to secure an abstract of, throws additional light upon the family. <ref name="jhp"> The Gorsuch and Lovelace Families, by J. H. P., Baltimore, Md. Virginia Historical Magazine, pp. 85-86. https://archive.org/stream/jstor-4243492/4243492_djvu.txt. Accessed Feb 10, 2016 </ref>

Abstract of the will of Alice Gorsuch of Weston, co. Hertford, spinster, dated 7 July, 1662. (Prerogative Court of Canterbury— Juxon. 17) <ref name="jhp"/>

*To my grandson Richard Gorsuch, £10-
*To my granddaughter Elizabeth Powell, £10- *To my grandsons Charles and Lovelace Gorsuch, £10 apiece, all these being children of my son John Gorsuch, D. D. *My lease for about five years yet to come, of about £52 a year in the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, payable by Frances Wilkinsonne and Richard Daniell, shall be divided equally among six of my grandchildren,
*viz. Johanna and Frances Gorsuch, daughters of my said son John,
*Ann Gorsuch, daughter of my grandson Daniell Gorsuch,
*John Gorsuch, son of my grandson William Gorsuch, *and William and Elizabeth Whittby, son and daughter of my granddaughter Katherine Whittby. *All the rest of my goods, leases, lands, etc. I give to my grandson Daniell Gorsuch, gent., whom I make my executor.
*(signed) Alice Gorsuch
*Witnesses: Edmund Hinde, Dorothy Caesar, John Crouch
*Proved 3 February 1662 (-3) by the executor named. <ref name="jhp"/>
The will shows that the widow at the time of her death was living in Weston, a parish which adjoins Walkern, where her husband also owned property. Mention is made of five grandchildren described as the children of her son John Gorsuch, viz. Elizabeth Powell, Charles Gorsuch, Lovelace Gorsuch, Johanna Gorsuch and Frances Gorsuch, who were not mentioned in her husband's will and who therefore evidently were born after the latter's death in 1638, while the will shows that of the older children of her son John at least three, viz. Daniel, Robert and Richard Gorsuch were still living. The will leaves us uncertain as to whether two other of her son John's older children viz. William Gorsuch and Katherine Whittby, to whose children, however, bequests are made by name, were still living. The term "spinster" as applied to the testatrix
in the probate was in common use, especially in Essex and thereabouts
even down to the early part of the 18th century, as the equivalent of
gentlewoman, whether married or single. <ref name="jhp"/>
