His father was listed as Martin Goodman, with a sister Margaret, and two brothers, Wm, and John. In the 1860 US census, he was listed with his father J.M. Goodman, who now had new a wife, E. Goodman, and evidently some half siblings, but they were over in the next county, Phelps Co, MO. I don't know what the "J" stands for in the J. M., but assume because he has a son named John, his may also be that. Hopefully I can find out a little more of his first wife, as well as the newer family. Bruce
