I have Oliver age 25, Sarah AR age 23, Mary age 5, Sabrina AB age 1, and a Harriet Curtis age 17 also in the household. I realize that Oliver probably isn't on the Dent Census in 1880, but at this point I'm eliminating people as opposed to looking for proof. I've been thinking the name could be Felix William or Felix Oliver, but Oliver Felix or any combination containing Felix, Oliver, or William is certainly possible. With no birth or death certificates I just can't be sure. Or it could be someone with none of those names!! So basically, I'm looking for where did Oliver and his wife end up - and were they together, or was she alone with the children before 1884? Another thought - was there another Oliver that I haven't found yet that could also be an option? I'm just pulling at straws where ever I find them. Thanks again, Terry

Oliver had two brothers in 1860 Lawrence County, Robert and Emanuel. Robert died in the 1860s. By 1870 Emanuel is still there as is the widow of Robert. Oliver and his family is missing (always assuming the census was correctly copied). If you check it, Emauel and Robert's widow Sarah are visitations # 198 and 199 in Strawberry Township. Oliver in 1860 had a wife Sarah also., He was 25, she 23. Children then were Eliza,Doyle and Sarah B. I find no Oliver or Doyle in 1880 Missouri. --- Ken

At a family function a few weeks ago, a cousin mentioned a family tradition of alternating the names William and Oliver through 5 generations. All this time, I've been looking for Felix or William Felix, but if the tradition is true then my grandfather William's father would be Oliver. Today I found this census entry for Oliver Goad, in an area of Arkansas that I've been told my grandfather lived in at one time. So I'm thinking there might be a link.

The family tradition was that one of the "grandmothers" was a full-blood Cherokee. Susannah Jester was the most likely candidate but that appears to be untrue. (Her mother was a Spencer.) However, one of her brothers did marry a full-blood Cherokee! That may be the root of the "tradition" in my Chaney lineage. I was told that JamesHenry Goad's wife was named Alice May/Mae Hill but the person who provided the info listed no source. I show Floyd's twin as Boyd.

I talked to my dad earlier today and he filled in the missing link for me (Nora Cruise). You are right on the money about my family. My grandfather, Roy, did have two daughters (Iris and Eleanor) as well as my father (Charles Edmund Goad, b. 1932, currently residing in O'Donnell Texas). I have a brother, Charles Edmund Goad, Jr., who was born in 1958 and I (Timothy Lee Goad) was born in 1960. As a matter of fact, we were both born on October 25th in Welch, WVA two years apart! I'd love to have as much info on my family as you care to provide. I would also be very interested in purchasing a copy of your book as well. Please advise... Thanks again, Ken. You made my day...

She was the daughterr of Charles E. and Lula Mo. Brewster and was born ca 1909 in Earlington, Ky. Roy's parents were Charles Monroe (1876-1958) amd Nora S. Cruise (1887-1969) dau of David and Patri Ann (Akers) Cruise. Charles' father was James Fountain Goad. From there we go back to Reuben, Aaron, Robert,Abraham, Abraham to the 1600s. You and I connect at Aaron Goad as Reuben and my ancestor Robert,Jr ("Big Robin") were brothers, sons of Aaron.. My mother (1893-1997) (Yes, 104) was born in Carroll County, Va. I wrote a book on the Goads. I have much more detail on your families. Roy had daughters Iris Garay and Eleanor Marie Scott. If your name is Goad, they must have had a brother, your father, that I have no record of. The daughters were born 1928 and 1930 so maybe your father bon ca 1932 and you ca 1960 ??? I'd guess you at about age forty. -- Ken

My grandfather was Roy Goad (b. Mar. 18, 1903, married to Opal Brewster (1920's)) and I know that his father was married to a Cruise (Nora, perhaps?) That's about all I know about my family beyond my grandfather. He lived in Mount Airy NC (his brother, Clarence, still lives there) before moving to West Virginia (McDowell County) as late as the late '50's. He subsequently moved to Texas around 1960 and my family followed a couple of years later. Any help would be greatly appreciated....Thanks!

Your Robert died in the 1860s leaving the widow Sarah. The two Roberts and sons John and James the same age which really thew me. I think the Rbert who married Celia had 47 years between the ages if his two wives !! When Ayers (Ayres) was first found in ca 1805 Anderson County, Tenn. (tax list), there was a John Goad on the same tax list likelyu either a brother or cousin. He appeared once more in 1812 in Anderson or Campbell , then disappeared. This John COULD have been the father of Ephriam but we cannot prove it, Susannah Jester was supposed to have been part Indian and there seems to be more evidence han in most such claims. Another son of Ephriam was General Harrison Goad of 1880 Madison County, Ark. Also an Ephriam, Jr (E.T.T. called "Taylor") with old Eph in 1870 Carroll County. I never have figured out if Ephraim or Ephriam is correct or where it was just up to the writer. --- Ken ---

James Henry was 32, "Allice" 19,. Monroe, age 12, is in the family, maybe a nephew or son of James earlier. J.H. was the son of Robert and Sarah Goad. Robert was the son of Ephriam and Susannah (Jeter ?) Goad. Ephriam was born 1805 in Tenn, lived in northern Georgia 1850 and lived in Carroll County, Ark by 1860. Most of his sons lived in Lawrence County. We do not know the father of Ephriam although some will claim to on the internet. Robert died in the 1860s only 35-45 years old. JH had an older brother John W. You can read about Ephriam in these forums. He was not the Ephriam married to Eda or Eada. --- Ken
