To date, we have two members, Mike Thompson (his father was a Godbey from the Montgomery Co., VA group. Mike was raised by his maternal Grandparents and uses their surname Thompson), and myself. I'm from the Casey Co/Pulaski Co., KY Godbeys; my 2nd great-grandfather was born out of wedlock in 1833 in Pulaski Co., KY (his mom was a Farmer). Mike's and my DNA match, and as I had no other matches and plenty of Godbey neighbors in 1833 this solved the mystery as of my 2nd great grandfather's paternity. The idea that the Godleys and Godbeys are one and the same family does not seem to work. There is no DNA match and the only real evidence is one Godbey, a well known minister, speculating that there may be a connection. What we are trying to do with this DNA project, is show that the Casey/Pulaski Co., KY Godbeys, the Southwest VA Godbeys and the Davies Co. NC Godbeys are all related as the paper genealogy suggests. Then we will try to connect to England. Adding your Godbey line DNA to the project would confirm, beyond any doubt, the Godbey DNA signature and connection between KY and VA.

Author: j74aspdsd2 Surnames: Godby, Godbey Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.godby/71.6/mb.ashx Message Board Post: How would it benefit our line to join the project? I have two brothers who could take the Y test, and I could take the MTDNA test, but if it's the wrong branch of the family tree, we don't want to waste our money. Also I want to find out family information on Thomas Godby's ancestry: where they came from. The Nathan Godle discussed in the Godley DNA Project on FamilyTreeDNA.com came to VA from Cheshire, England in 1637, according to their bio. My ancestor, Thomas Godby came to VA on the ship Deliverance in 1610 and died in 1628. I'm not sure whether this project would be related to my line, though in reading the rest of the bio, there seems to be some connection because I'm also related to the Godbeys who went from Casey County, KY to Missouri, and then my ggrandfather went to Texas, along with several of his siblings.

She is a direct descendant of Sarah Sipple & Josiah Newell. She said that Sarah Sipple Godby mar Josiah Newell & lived in Texas. On a family group sheet she sent me she has Cyothy NEWELL born 22 Jul 1879 "died when child." Josiah Newell was born 3 Apr 1850 & died 20 Aug 1922 in Dallas, Dallas co, TX & Sarah Newell died 15 Aug 1936 in Campbell, Hunt co, TX & is buried in Cumby, Hopkins co, TX. Sarah appears to have been enumerated twice on the 1880 Census (unless I am horribly mistaken). She is Sarah Godby in Pulaski co, KY & Sarah C Newell in Mitchell, Lawrence co, IN). IN reads: Josiah Newell, age 29, b KY; Sarah C Newell, age 17, b KY; Cyathy Newell, age 10mos, b IN. Sarah's grandfather Henry Sipple & her uncle John Sipple are enumerated on the previous page in Lawrence co, IN. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I'm descended from the Godbey line that went from Casey Co., KY to Missouri. I think the main point we have shown so far is that the Godby's from Pulaski/Casey Co., KY are related with the Godby's of Montgomery Co., VA. Proving the papertrail. We would like to prove that the North Carolina Godby's are connected as well to prove the papertrail and then move into England.

I am a descendant of William Godbey and his wife Zannah. Now that it has been almost a year since you posted about your Godbey DNA surname project I was wondering if you have had more Godbey descendants tested and/or if you would give us an update. A DNA surname study for one of my husband's line provided INVALUABLE info, so I am glad to see one being done for the Godbey's, especially in light of the problems connecting early VA Godbey's to subsequent descendants. I would also like to connect with other Wm Godbey-Zannah descendants, so if you come from the same lines, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
