Joyce -- Grr. I posted this once and lost it. Anyhow James Fountain was the son of Wiley Goad. Then it goes back to James,Spencer,Robert,Abraham.Abraham. I descend from Spencer also and from his brother Aaron. Parta Isabelle Goad was the daughter of Nathaniel and Rhoda (O'Neal) Reynolds. Partha's children were Flando Ellis, Arizona ("Arie"), Percy A. and Perna ("Pernie"). I assume you descend from one of those two sons. Wiley's father, also James Fountain, died coming home from the Civil War. He got as far as Christiansburg and died there. Two of his brothers also died in the war. In 1944, at age 77, Jim Fount married (2) Susan Bll Slate, a widow. I have dates, spouses, etc. if you need these. Dr. Michael Nestor did a lot of the research on these Carroll Goads. My mother (1893-1997) was born in Carroll. -- Ken
