I am a descendant of Reuben and Mary Witcher Goad and Sabra Witcher and William B. Jenkins. The Goad's and Jenkins were in Smith and Macon Counties in Tennessee and these families intermarried. My gr grandparents were second cousins. I believe that Wiley Dycus was probably the son of either of the two oldest Goad daughters - Nancy Goad was born Nov 4, 1790 and Sally Goad was born June 11, 1799. The descendants of this family can account for the marriages of the other daughters. I hope that Herbert will share the letters he has with all of us Goad and Jenkins descendants as there is no record on file of Reuben's estate. It would be a Genealogist's dream to have this information!
