Harvey Goff was born to William Allen Goff in the midwest. Possibly Iowa. Harvey's parents died when he was very young (<5yrs). He was adopted by Charles and Mary Watkins of Vincent, Iowa. Harvey was born late 1870's to 1881. I believe Harvey had siblings, he being the youngest. Do not know what happened to them. Harvey married my ggrandmother, Minnie Harms. Their first child being born in 1912. Any info would be greatly appreciated. This side of the family is a complete mystery.
