The 1850 for Edgefield shows James E. Goff in the household of John and Elizabeth Goff along with several children (Sarah Goff age 3) and a Mary and Patience Smella. Also in Edgefield was William Vaughn and his wife Patience Smiley. They moved to Scott County, MS by 1860 and are shown there with Patience's sister, Mary Smiley and a Sarah Gaugh (Goff?) age 12 born in SC. I suspect that the Patience Smella in 1850 is my Patience Smiley Vaughn's relative (mother, aunt?) and that the Sarah Gaugh in 1860 is the Sarah A. Goff shown on the 1850. Have your run across anything that may clear this up for me? Do you know when or where John and Elizabeth Goff died?
