Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5MZ.2ACEB/245.736.1.1 Message Board Post: Bonnie, Thanks for your prompt reply and I'm happy to meet a relative! On the 1860 Census for Palestine, Cooper Co., MO p, 97 there is a Rebecca A. Goff, age 13, listed with Archibald and Elizabeth. I'm not sure if she is a daughter or other relative as she should have been listed on the 1850 census but wasn't. There are dicrepencies in the names of the other children as well. The marriage license for Ignatius Thompson (sp. "Ignacious Thomson") and Rebecca Ann Goff lists James Lamme as a witness to the marriage whcich took place in the home of Archibald, Osage, Morgan Co, in 1863. This Rebecca would have been abt 16-17 yrs old while Ignatius would have been about 20. He is listed with William and Emily Thompson on the 1860, Palestine, Cooper Co. Census, p. 108, as 17. Ignatius could also have been the son of Micajah Thompson who came to MO from KY and is listed in the 1840 Jackson, Johnson Co., MO Census p. 16 (lists 2 males under 5). The 1850 Census lists Micajah and wife Elizabeth (Micajah Thompson m. Elizabeth Mefford on 20 Nov 1832 in Pike Co. MO) as living in Dis.7, Dubuque Co., IA with an Ignatius C. Thompson, age 14. There would be an age discrepency of 7 years with the 1860 Cooper Co. listing so they may or may not be the same person (how many Ignatius Thompsons could there be for this region?). I am descended from Ignatius and Rebecca through their son Robert E. Thompson born abt. 1874 in Warsaw, Benton co, MO. I began this search in order to find our Native American roots as my grandfather told us Robert was 1/2 Indian. His mother Esther was also part Indian. My grandfather and his brothers and sisters look very Indian, I look a little. I have pictures of Robert Thompson that I can copy and send if you like. Robert's first marriage was to Katie Maude Schreck and he had several children with her. Robert had a second marriage to my g-grandmother, Esther Stevenson, and had four more children. His son Myron Francis Thompson was my grandfather. Myton's daughter Virginia was my mother. I will send you all the info I have on the Thomspon's but this will take a couple of weeks or so to put together. The Goffs and the Thompsons did a lot of intermarriage. Other names in the family are McCool, Watts, Carter, Etc. Another person you may want to cantact is William Wat! ts who is listed through this message board. He is also descended from Robert Thompson through his first marriage. Sorry, I don't have his e-mail address handy but will look it up and supply it privately. Hope to hear from you soon, Bryan

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5MZ.2ACEB/945.2 Message Board Post: Your Frank Goff is interesting to me, though I certainly don't know why. I've run across his name in the records several times, perhaps. I believe there is a chance that this family of Grayson Co Goffs are related to the southern Goff family, as Monroe Goff ([email protected]) was living for a time in the deep south. I would be interested to find out if you have heard gossip about Native American blood in this line........ Have you a clue as to where Calvin moved to when he left KY? Monroe went to TX for a time hunting down jobs, and I noted that the tax rolls only listed William Goff. The Renfrow family is quite large and seems to be in every county and mostly grouped together in one area or another. They were a family of means, were hard workers, had been thought well of by their communities, and always took advantage of societies in the public (Masons, IOOF, etc). I know that if you know of the surname of Renfrow, you can be certain there are other regular surnames tied to it. I'm not sure, but I think this band of Renfrows came from VA to KY in the early 1800s if not the latter 1790s. William Goff was a tobacco farmer in Spring Lick, as were many located on or near the river. I thought it was rather unique to find tobacco plants all over the valley, up the hill- side, stopping only long enough to allow the family cemetery to be there, then the tobacco plants continued up the hill to the top. This was evidently a form of using the limited land well.

We have family oral history that the father may have been a major in the British Army, and stationed in India, probably before his marriage.Is this matching up?

They had ties to both N. Ireland andScotland, the family owned linen mills probably in both Belfast and Glasgow. They spent time, and Maggie was born at a family home on Lough Erne, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh, N. Ireland. Sister Kathryn is missing from yr list of siblings, unless Eliz. or Hannah went by a middle name. Maggie, my ggrandmother, died 1901 and her only child, George Good Cressey, was a bit young to have learned much family history. I have photos of her sister Ann Howarth's daughters Kathryn and Margaret as small children taken by photographer Lovejoy, and as girls of 11-13 by Original Fowler Studio. (Phila.) I cannot say for certainty that these are the right connections, perhaps I have given you something to look for that would more definitely connect them. I so appreciate yr response!

Was looking at tax lists in Grayson and found a William Goff living in Spring Lick, noted same person on 1860 census for same. Family isn't mine, but may lead you to your direct line. I may mention that there were some Renfrows on/next to same land. Further, have run into the Bratcher surname in same area. I can't help beyond this, but it may help you look in the area.

Rebecca Ann Goff, who at age 13 was listed with Archibald and Elizabeth in the 1860 Palestine, Cooper County, MO, U.S. Census, is my gg-grandmother. Presumably she is their daughter as she is listed with the other children and married my gg-grandfather Ignatius Thompson in Osage, Morgan County on June 21, 1863. Their marriage took place at Archibald's home. Archibald married Elizabeth Page on April 8, 1834 in Clark County, IL. On the 1835 IL State Census, Elisha Goff, Archibald Goff and John Goff are listed in Fayette County. The 1850 U.S. Census lists Archibald and Elizabeth in 8th Dist., Boone County, MO on page 171. An Elisha (age 60) and Margaret Goff (age 50) are also listed in 8th Dist., Boone County for 1850 on the next page, p.172. There is an Elisha and John Goff listed on the 1810 Pulaski County, Kentucky U.S. Census, both betwee 26-45 year! s of age. An 89 (or 87) year-old Elisha Goff and a 79 (or 77) year-old Margaret Goff were living in the Thomas Goff household in Osage, Morgan County on the 1860 U.S. Census. Elisha was born in Kentucky and Margaret was born in Tennessee. I believe Elisha and Margaret are the parents of Archibald. If anyone has any more information, please forward. Thanks, Bryan Lewis
