Sharon, this won't help you much, but just to add to your Goff information, I just remembered two Goff boys who lived in Oneida with their widowed mother, and attended Oneida schools in the period 1930 -1940, and as far as I know --before that and after that. They were Stuart and Leonard. They lived in the Willow St --Lenox Ave area. That's all I know about them, have forgotten anything more.
