Ann Gorham Brooks (1771–1830) was Nathaniel Gorham and Rebecca Call’s daughter. She married merchant Peter Chardon Brooks in 1792, and their children included Abigail, who married Charles Francis Adams, and Ann, who married minister Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham. Her Medford tombstone and vital-record citations place her death in 1830, contradicting this record’s 1850. She must be distinguished from her daughter Ann Gorham Brooks Frothingham, born in 1797.
