Surnames: GOFF, MONTGOMERY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5MZ.2ACEB/1087.1 Message Board Post: I have solved the mystery and am putting it out here in case it may help someone else. James B. GOFF died early in life, maybe early to mid twenties, while working on a bridge in Green Co., KY. He 'had a bad sole on his shoe' and plunged to his death off the bridge. This information was given to me by Jimmie Montgomery last spring (2004). Jimmie is 86 yrs. old and is a wonderful guy with a great memory! He and his neices have helped to answer many family questions I've had! They have also confirmed the 'indian blood' theory, but have no concrete info on that. The search continues!!
