In regards to Oliver Goad, I found this information today and it lists Doyle Goad as a son of Ephraim Goad at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~shill957/pafg1986.htm#55775). I am NOT verifying the information on Oliver, just passing it on. (Oliver was believed to be the half brother of my Susannah Mary Goad who married Absalom Hamby in 1862.) It shows that Ephraim Goad was his father: Oliver D GOAD was born in 1831 in Tennessee. He died in 1866 in Lawrence Co., Arkansas. Oliver married Sarah A R. Sarah A R was born in 1839 in Georgia. She died before 1880. Sarah married Oliver D GOAD. They had the following children: F i Laura Goad F ii Mary E. Goad M iii Doyle Goad was born in 1855 F iv Sabrina Alice Goad F v Sarah A.B. Goad M vi John C. Goad M vii Frances Oliver Goad
