I came across this ancestry.com message board posting: I realize it is old, but I was hoping to swap information on our Goff lines. Maybe we are related.Here is some information on my Goff line. My Goffs are located in central Tennessee (White, Warren, De Kalb counties). They have been there since the early 1800s. I have traced my Goff line to Frank Goff (Abt 1830 - 1863). He married Nancy Childress in 1856. Frank served in 16th regiment TN infantry company K. I believe Frank's mother is Nancy Dildine (Abt 1810-1880). I believe she was born in South Carolina. I also believe Frank's father may have came from South Carolina or North Carolina. Frank had a brother James Madison Goff (1826-1890). He was born in Tennessee and moved to Wayne county, Missouri. He married a Susan. His family moved from Missouri to Arkansas. Frank had a sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Goff (1842- Aft 1880) who married James Dove. They stayed in central Tennessee. There was also a John Goff who married a Sarah and had a daughter Margaret. I do not know much about this family. There was another child Jeremiah, but little is known about him. Does any of this Goff information sound familiar? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
