John, Two thoughts...your idea sounds very plausible. I've noticed in my cemetery work at Ebenezer and elsewhere that the middle initial of a married woman was often times her middle name such as Anne and not her maiden surname. Therefore she may have been Levina Catherine ________ Faircloth? Other thought: in old-style writing, a double "s" was written as "ff" so maybe the name Goss is the same as Goff. I have notes that Annie Jane Corbin may have had several children named Goff before she married Alexander Barnabus "Boney" Faircloth. I'm not sure if this helps or not.

Marilyn, I believe the woman you are referring to as Annie Jane CORBIN is the same woman I am referring to as Gracey Jane FAIRCLOTH. As I said in my earlier posting, today, I am not really a FAIRCLOTH researcher, but I have heard this woman referred to by both names. And yes, she married JOHNS, COLEMAN, CORBIN, FAIRCLOTH and had at least one child with William Green GOFF. I am particularly interested in your statement "I have notes that Annie Jane Corbin may have had several children named Goff before she married Alexander Barnabus "Boney" Faircloth." I'd like to suggest that she had at least one and maybe two children named GOFF after she married Alexander Barnabus "Boney" Faircloth. Here is my evidence: My great-grandfather, William GAUSS (W. G. GOFF) married Elizabeth (Lizzie) RICHARDSON September 11, 1881. His son, Will GOFF was born March 1, 1883 to Jane FAIRCLOTH. His daughter, Ella Fair, was born November 24, 1883 to ??? Will's death certificate (informant wife, Laura GOFF) states that his father was Bill GOFF and his mother was Jane FAIRCLOTH born in Swainsboro, GA. Ella Fair's death certificate (informant son, John D. SIKES) states that her mother is ?? RICHARDSON and her father is William GOFF born in GOFF, SC. Given that Will and Ella Fair were born 10 months apart, I have always assumed that Elizabeth/Lizzie was Ella Fair's mother, and Annie/Gracey Jane FAIRCLOTH was Will's mother. HOWEVER, my father (90 years old and living in Oak Park, GA) remembers Aunt Ella Fair and always refers to her as Ella Fair FAIRCLOTH. If she was born a GOFF and married a SIKES, where did he get the name FAIRCLOTH? Do you have any evidence that Ella Fair's mother was Jane FAIRCLOTH? If not Ella Fair, do you have the names of other GOFF children who may have been born to Jane FAIRCLOTH? My GOFF line descends from W. G. GOFF and Sallie EDENFIELD, but I try to follow his earlier history as a way of connecting to his parents who are reported to be William and Nancy GOFF from Edgefield Co., SC. Thanks for whatever evidence you can share.

It was Gracy Jane Faircloth who married Wellington Corbin, not Ann Jane [Angeline (nee CLARK) Faircloth]. They are two different women. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise Wells" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 20, 2008 5:41 PM Subject: Re: [GAEMANUE] Question for Faircloth/Youngblood researchersaboutLevina Faircloth > Marilyn, > > I believe the woman you are referring to as Annie Jane CORBIN is the same > woman I am referring to as Gracey Jane FAIRCLOTH.
