I think there is a possibility that my GG Grandfather? James W. Hill (Richard)?born 1854 was adopted by a Gothard family along with his brother after his mother Elizabeth died.? I found a Richard Gothard in the 1880 census for Bibb married to Francis and that was my GG Grandmother's name.? He could have after that at some time gone back to the surname Hill. Anyone know the Gothard family information??? Diane
