Cindy, Thanks for your quick response. I have three Ruth(a) GOFFs in my database. 1. Ruth GOFF, no birth date, one of 12 children, is the daughter of Samuel GOFF and Tabitha WATSON. 2. Rutha GOFF, b Dec 26, 1812, d Dec 23, 1895, was the daughter of William GOFF and Delila. She married Elijah Samuel ODOM. 3. Rutha GOFF, b 1853, one of 9 children, is the daughter of Samuel GOFF and Eliza HUNTER. She married Freeman HALL. I have look briefly at all these families trying to find a relative of my great-grandfather, William Green GOFF.
