Williamson. It gives her parents' names as Elijah Goodnight and Isabelle Andrews, so we now have the name of Elijah's wife. (Is she the Martha J(I?) listed with Elijah in 1850?) Additional information on Frank Goodnight: His wife Sarah Catherine Shreve was married second to Lemuel McKinney on 12 Nov 1921 at Payette Co. Idaho. Frank and Sarah's daughter Cora May Goodnight was married to Samuel MacIntyre around 1908 in Washington State. Samuel was living with his parents in Hanover, Luzerne Co. PA in 1880. The father, Samuel, Sr. was born in Scotland. Samuel and Cora are all over the place. Their eldest son was born in Washington State ca 1909. Their next two children were born in Canada. The next was in Los Angeles, and they were in Omaha in 1920 and Atlanta, Dekalb Co. GA in 1930. Samuel filled out his draft card in Minneapolis, MN. He lived at 415 E 16th St. Apt 4. It provided his birth date as 3 Nov 1873 and said he was a travelling salesman. I have not been able to find where they ended up. Two of their their children Bruce and Samuel died in Florida. I was able to figure all of this out from the clue that Sarah was living with Cora and Samuel's family in 1920 in Omaha. Nebraska, still listed as the widow Sarah C. Goodnight. By 1830 they were in Atlanta Georgia and Sarah is listed as the widow McKinney. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
