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
