My name is Terry Douglas Creasy and I been researching the family of Celia Goodman, who was b. about 1840/1850 believed in Hancock County, Tennessee. Does anyone know who her siblings are? It is believed that her children were illigitimate. Yet according to the International Genealogical Index, it says that a Thomas Goodman, supposedly my great-grandfather, married Celea (it says Celea Bunch) in 1884 in Tennessee. I believe the former is probably true; one son, William, was born May 1874--that's ten years earlier than the 1884 marriage date! Of course, that could be a typo error--should be 1874 instead of 1884--but according to records so far, they say that Celia never married and she had a large family. Her father was William Goodman, her mother Rachel Bunch; her grandfather was Benjamin Bunch, grandmother, Mary Dotson. Celia had eight children: 1) Mollie; 2) Martelia, who m. El Courtney; 3) Mary, who m. John Belcher; 4) Rev. William Goodman, who m. Louise Oxford; 5) George; 6) Robert Taylor ("Uncle Bob"), who m. Annie Creasy; 7) John, who m. Maude Hall; and 8) Elizabeth ("Lizzie") who m. Clarence Costello Creasy--my grandparents. Elizabeth was b. 15 Dec 1885 in Sneedville, Hancock County, Tennessee and d. 1 Sep 1964 at Barbourville, Knox County, Kentucky. Clarence Costello was b. 5 Sep 1886 in probably Knox County, Kentucky and d. 20 Oct 1946 at Pineville, Bell County, Kentucky. Elizabeth and Clarence are buried at Stacy Cemetery, Girdler, Knox County, Kentucky. Any information on Celia or Thomas would be deeply appreciated. Thank you. Thomas Goodman was believed to have to born abt 1854 in Tennessee. Sincerely, Terry D. Creasy
