    GORSLINE, Richard (c. 1806-1864)

    A “carman” by trade and member of the Sabbathkeeping Adventist group in Oswego, New York. In 1850, while Ellen White also lived in Oswego, she was instructed in vision that Gorsline had “wounded and torn the hearts of God's people” and should be disfellowshipped “unless he changed his course entirely.” Records suggest a positive outcome, with Gorsline becoming a faithful member, and leaving a legacy of $470.87 to the church.1EGWLM 833.2
