    3. Hello Listers, The Elizabeth, possibly Kellam, I am searching for is the same one as Polly. Elizabeth would have been born c1750-60, possibly in the MD/DE area. She was married to William Goddard and this couple lived in the southwestern corner of PA in Greene county. Elizabeth ____ Goddard died c1835, as her children all cleared out of the area c1836. William Goddard stated in his will dated 1818, that land was to be given, monies given, etc., "a year and a day after their mother's death", so assume she must have died c1835. My theory that Elizabeth was a Kellam is based solely on the fact that her oldest son's name was Henry Kellam Goddard. Per the death certificate of Henry Kellam Goddard's son, Henry Kellam Goddard, Jr., who died 22 Feb 1907 in Tangier, IN, his father's birthplace was "on Atlantic Ocean." Many might think that this phrase would mean literally on the Atlantic ocean (on a boat). But, old timers here in the community where I live refer to someone born over on the eastern shore, or over near the Atlantic, as living "on the Atlantic Ocean" or "over on the Ocean." Henry Kellam Goddard married Dorcas Long, daughter of John Long, Jr., who came to western PA in the late 1770's from MD. Henry died in 1836 in Tyler county, Virginia, now West Virginia.
