I seem to remember a lot of internet inertia suggesting William & Elizabeth moved to Mississippi, but that did not turn out to be what I found. The Goff's (which show up in census records spelled phonetically as Gaugh, Gaff & Goff) liked to reuse the names of grandparents for their children and more unusual names like Penelope and Dempsey being used in multiple generations helped tie the family together. If you like I can send you my line from Dempsey Goff (RS) that is based on census records. But if you have more than I do on the Cox, Hunter or Goff lines that we share I would be interested.
