I found on Ancestry.com the following on Oliver and Emanuel Goad, sons of Ephraim Goad and 1st wife (unknown name): AR Land Records ~ (information also listed in Goad Information, Lawrence Co., AR; http://www.cswnet.com/~mgoad/ar-law.htm) Land Office - Batesville; Document # 16129 Oliver Goad received a total of 80 acres with 01 May 1860 as the Issue date (based on 24 April 1820 Act or Treaty; it was a Sale-Cash Entry). Section # 3; Township 16N; Range 5W. Land Office - Batesville; Document 16288 and 10514 Emanuel Goad received 40 acres with 01 May 1860 as the Issue date (24 April 1820 Act or Treaty; Sale-Cash Entry) (document 16288). Base Line: 5th PM; Township 17N; Range 2W; Section # 3. Emanuel Goad received 40 acres with 01 October 1860 as the Issue date (24 April 1820 etc.) (doc 10514). Base Line 5th PM; Township 17N; Range 2W; Section # 19. An Emanuel Goad was a Private in Company J, 8 Arkansas Cavalry (Confederate). An Emanuel Goad was a Private in Company D, 38 Arkansas Infantry (Confederate). It is believed that Oliver, son of Ephraim and 1st wife, died circa 1866 An Oliver Goad was a Private in Company D, 38 Arkansas Infantry. According to Edmonds Family (http://awt.ancestry.com) I found where the site listed an Emanuel Goad born 1827 in TN (son of Ephraim Goad and Susannah Jester) and that he died 8 August 1888 in Denton, Lawrence Co.,, AR. He married Mary A. Winchell. I have also seen somewhere that an Emanuel Goad married M.R. Oaks on 01 April 1888. It is entirely possible that Mary A. Winchell Goad had died (or divorced) and that Emanuel married a second time to M.A. Oaks months before he died.
