Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/222 Surname: ------------------------- Teri -- It's "worse" than you think. Sarah Bishop had another dauhter Adeline who married Gabriel Goad, twin to Reuben Sarah was not a daughter of "Abram" as originally thought. She was a daughter of Frances, sister to Abram, born out of wedlock. Sarah married James Bishop and their dughters married the twin Goads. Hence, Frances was the twins's aunt but their childrens' GREAT grandmother.Old James Goad was BOTH these childrens' great grandfather and their great, great grandfather !! The twins first cousin was also their mother-in-law, etc. etc. You take ir from here. WHEW ! -This may have been revised since Janet's book.- Ken Haas

Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/221 Surname: GOAD, BISHOP, COX ------------------------- Janice Kinsler Smith's "Goad and Webb Family", Vol. II, lists the wife of Reuben Goad (b. ca 1847) as Nancy R. Bishop, daughter of Sarah Jane Goad (b. ca 1827) and John Bishop Jr. The above Reuben Goad and Sarah Jane Goad are both listed in Smith's book as children of Abraham Goad, b. 1789 (son of James Goad & Nancy Collier) -- Sarah Jane from his first marriage, to Alsey Hewitt, and Reuben from his second marriage, to Rachel Cock. If all this data is correct, then Reuben was Nancy R. Bishop's half-uncle, that is, the half-brother of her mother. Does anyone have any data that would confirm this close kinship between husband and wife, or on the other hand any other parentage attributed to Reuben and/or Sarah Jane or Nancy R. ?

This is not my line, but some one I am trying to help. If you can help please contact: FmlyTracer@aol.com Can anyone help place Joshua Goad in a family? >>My GOAD line is from VA to TN. Joshua GOAD, wife Sarah TOLER m. Bedford Co VA, had a daughter Elizabeth who married Shepherd KIRBY abt 1826 probably in Smith Co TN.

She can't remember much of the names, thank you I will search the responses. I would like a copy of the census if you can shrink it down to mail. Also do you have any pictures that are easily transferrable of Nancy J., I think she would be my great aunt or something like that. Avis

Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/219 Surname: GOAD, JONES, WITTEN ------------------------- Hi Ken: Thank you for the information. I have been reading about a book you have written. Can you give me information on how to purchase it. I was once told that all goads in America began with Abraham and Katherine Goad who came over on the Mayflower. I never could find a connection with my line. The Abraham that you said was the first known Goad in America, could he be the one with the wife Katherine Goad. I have never been able to connect my grandparents to anyone until I found this message board. Thank you for your information. Avis

Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/218 Surname: Goad, Breeden, Boyd, Thomas ------------------------- William Jasper is Nancy J Goad/Breeden/Boyd's brother. Nancy J is my great grandmother. After her marriage to the Boyd, I could find nothing. A 1900 census, shows Jasper still living at home in Girard, Kansas, Sherman Township, with HoH, Abraham, 58, wife, Sarah, 63, son, Jasper, 21, and grandson, Andrew Breeden, 13. Andrew was my grandmother's only brother. Nancy J's son. I also have a 1920 census, showing HoH, Andrew Breaden (name change), 33, wife, Elizabeth, 23, and grandfather, Abraham, age 76, still in same Kansas. If I can figure out how to convert these 6,000kb census' to a smaller size, I will send. That wonderful computer fella, Ken Hass, can take you backwards in time. I can only bring you forward and to the side, a bit. Any information you can send me on Nancy J would be most appreciated. Thanks. Diann Temple / KBkat77@aol.com PS: There are other children to our Abraham and Sarah. Search responses.

Your Abraham was the son of Littleton ,Sr. and Martha J. Goad of Greene County, Indina. Abraham moved to Crawford County, Ks. Littleton's parents Ayers and Edith Goad. From there Abraham, John, Abraham., the latter the first Goad we know of in America, (ca 1665-1734).Sarah, wife of your Abraham was also a Goad.

The Greene County Goads came from Monroe County, Tenn. in the 1830s stopping briefly in Ky.---- Ken Haas

Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/210 Surname: Goad, Wilson ------------------------- My goal is to try and track each of the children of George W. Goad. Today I am posting what I know about Gabriel Goad and see if anyone knows anything further. His parents were George Washington Goad (of White Co AR)and Julia Ann Wilson. Siblings were:Margaret,George H.,Jacob and Susan. He was born 22 Feb 18 1870 White Co AR and died 26 Apr 1914 White Co AR. Do not show a wife. This would made him only 44 yrs old at time of death. Fairly young. Do not know what the cause of death was. From what I can tell he had contact with stepbrothers in Texas which is part of family. Gabriel is a step brother to my Andrew Swick Goad (my gr grandfather). Would be happy to hear any one from either family.

I agree with Mike re his analysis of the Goad/Goode question. Have seen the microfilms and in some cases original records from Northern Neck and find Mike's readings correct. I have found no overlap on deeds and plots of land. They are separate and distinct from each other... with seemingly no chance to get mixed up or to have that different spelling of the name. Would suggest that a microfilm copy of the original deed books, order books and any land grants be checked. Ann

Hi all, I would like to emphasize on the "document" fragment sent earlier (and provided below) that it has not been verified against the county court records. Until verified, I am of the opinion that this transcription may have too many errors for it to be a legitimate link between Richard GOODE and Abraham GOAD. As well, based on name variations found in record transcripts, I am of the opinion that in all likelihood all of the GOAD surnames in the will be found to be GOOD or GOODE instead of GOAD. Richard Goode appears in many records of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties. His name is invariably transcribed as Good or Goode, but never Goad or Goad. In the Richmond County records, Abraham's last name is always transcribed as Goad, Goade, Gourd, Goard, or Goarde, but never, so far as I have seen Goode or Good. That the name variations found for Richard's and Abraham's surnames never matched the other man's name is evidence that suggests that the pronunciation of the surnames may have been sufficiently different to preclude any common variation of spelling. These men were Englishmen of the 17th century and the accents that they had would have been decidedly different than today's American English. Since variations of the Goad name often carried an "r" even into the 19th century the pronunciation probably originally had an r sound to it. With no similar variations of Richard Goode's name, the"r" sound was probably never a part of his surname. If my conjecture is true, then, based on pronunciation, Goode/Good and Goad/Goad/Goard are sufficently different to reduce the likelyhood of Richard being Abraham's father. The earliest record of an Abraham Goad in Virginia is on a list of tithables in October 1661 in Lancaster County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/html/doc00018.htm In 1651, the transport of a Richard Goode was mentioned in a land grand on the north side of the York River. The north side of the York River is Virginia's "Middle Neck." This is also where Essex County is. Another Richard Good is a transportee in a land grant in 1655 in Lancaster County, the land grant is said to be on the south side of the Rappahannock. Today, Lancaster County is solely on the north side, on the Northern Neck. Another transportee, a Richard Goade, is found in Northumberland County in 1656. There is also a also an Andrew and John Gourd found. All of these transportees are found in "Cavaliers and Pioneers" http://www.rootsweb.com/~mikegoad/html/doc00016.htm The point, of course, is that Richard Good of Essex County is not the only candidate for Abraham's father. Other documented possibilities exist, including, possibly, an earlier (1661) Abraham Goad.

Last week, I stopped by the Essex County, Virginia, Courthouse to see if I could locate anything on this. Unfortunately, the reference is totally messed up. Deeds and Will Book 1 and Book 2 were the Old Rappahannock County books. (Old Rappahannock County was split into Essex and Richmond Counties, with a new Rappahannock County being established later elsewhere.) Also, the date range is really off for that to be one of the books. Deeds and Wills, book 2, for Rappahannock County, had dates in the early 1660s. Essex County numbering picks up at book 3 and November 1, 1705 is found in Deed and Will book 12. Unfortunately, the will of Sarah Curtis was not on page 201 of Book 12. I had stopped there for what I thought was going to be a quick lookup and was not prepared for a longer stop as Karen and I were on our way to Williamsburg from visiting family in McLein, Virginia. The courthouse transcript of the will may very well be in one of the books. However, not being well studied in early 18th century script, I had no chance to find anything in the short time I had available. With the help of one of the clerks, I was able to find one reference to a Sarah Curtis, but that was in an index that told us she was referenced in the will of a Dorothy Henry (which Mona Kennedy has mentioned here previously). I was really hoping to be able to share something new with y'all, but, all I've managed to do is verify that the reference is wrong. Now all we have to do is find the right reference and the will. Maybe I'll be lucky in the future. My sister-in-law and her husband are thinking of building a retirement home on the Potomac side of the Rappahannock. If so, we may be visiting them a bit more often. Mike

Mike: Please tell me more. Do you have maiden names for the women ancestors of Reuben? Thanks, Peggy

Reuben's Goad ancestry is: Abraham and Katherine John and Catherine William and Margaret Reuben Mike
