He died when I was 12 and unfortunatly at that time, I was not interested in the family tree at all! Here is my line starting with my grandfather: Curtis Albert GOFF 1904-1976 (m. Gladys YEWELL) son of William B. GOFF 1867- 1942 (m. Ella CLARK) son of Jesse GOFF 1837-1916 (m. Martha MONTGOMERY) son of William GOFF 1807-1881 (m. Nancy Jane HANDY) son of Elijah GOFF 1785-1875 (m. Unity ROGERS) son of William GOFF 1765-1830 (m. Betsy WHITTON) son of Leonard GOFF 1723-1773 (m. Ann MERRITT) William GOFF and Betsy WHITTON moved from Amhearst VA. to Green Co., KY. around 1790 or there abouts. Their children born after that date were all born in Green and Barren Co. with a few in the surrounding counties as well. (As the counties were formed, I am thinking this is true of most families down there) My direct line were all born in Green Co. So, if you need more then this, I can send you to my website for more details, or write me offlist and I'll fill you in further! Thanks a bunch for any help on the Indian blood theory! Lynny Cordes
