Rebecca Ann Goff, who at age 13 was listed with Archibald and Elizabeth in the 1860 Palestine, Cooper County, MO, U.S. Census, is my gg-grandmother. Presumably she is their daughter as she is listed with the other children and married my gg-grandfather Ignatius Thompson in Osage, Morgan County on June 21, 1863. Their marriage took place at Archibald's home. Archibald married Elizabeth Page on April 8, 1834 in Clark County, IL. On the 1835 IL State Census, Elisha Goff, Archibald Goff and John Goff are listed in Fayette County. The 1850 U.S. Census lists Archibald and Elizabeth in 8th Dist., Boone County, MO on page 171. An Elisha (age 60) and Margaret Goff (age 50) are also listed in 8th Dist., Boone County for 1850 on the next page, p.172. There is an Elisha and John Goff listed on the 1810 Pulaski County, Kentucky U.S. Census, both betwee 26-45 year! s of age. An 89 (or 87) year-old Elisha Goff and a 79 (or 77) year-old Margaret Goff were living in the Thomas Goff household in Osage, Morgan County on the 1860 U.S. Census. Elisha was born in Kentucky and Margaret was born in Tennessee. I believe Elisha and Margaret are the parents of Archibald. If anyone has any more information, please forward. Thanks, Bryan Lewis
