The one that married Mary Ann Semones was born ca 1827-29. He died coming home from the war.He was a son of Spencer and Patience (Dalton) Goad who lost their three youngest sons in the war.Neither were alive to suffer those tragedies. So far as I know, Fountain was not this one's middle name although it could have been. Hw was called "Blacvk Jim". The one named James Fountain Goad ("Jim Fount") was much younger. He was born 1877 and was a son of Wiley Goad of James of Spencer. Yet another James Fountain Goad was born in 1840, sonn of Reuben of Aaron of Robert.He married (1) Hannah Webb (2) Columbia Sandifer. Many families used the same name repeatedly so one must pay close attention to birth dates to know which is meant. -- Ken
