This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: goad Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kIZ.2ACEB/1066.1 Message Board Post: My great-grandfather was named John Goad (middle name unknown to me) whose mother was Cherokee. John Goad's son Walter B. Goad was my grandfather. So these items of information, and the birthdate, match the information in your (dfraser_98@yahoo.com, July 2001) message about John Hiram Goad. Have you uncovered any additional information? I can supply further details about more recent generations in my family if it would help determine whether the John Goad of our postings are the same person.
