Posted on: Goad Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Goad/233 Surname: Goad, Blakney, Drake ------------------------- Thank you for your response. Ballard and elizabeth [Blakney] Goad had one son in 1881.His name was George which was my grandfather.Before the 1890 census Elizabeth remarried Benjamin Drake and George was given the name Drake so george never showed on the census as Goad but as Drake.Thats why my name is drake instead of Goad thanks Ralph
