My maiden name was GOAD and I'm interested in connections (marriage or otherwise) between the Goad and Kemp families in/around Smith County, Tennessee, in the early 1800's (before 1840). My gggfather was Abraham Goad, born 1785 in Bedford, County, VA. (Father: William GOAD. Mother: Tabitha Dixon.) Abraham was married at least twice and I have seen the following information for his two families: WIFE: Anne Cunningham Family 1: 1. William R. GOAD 2. Emily GOAD 3. +Alexander A. GOAD? WIFE: Permelia (Milly) Cundiff (m. 1/1/1808, Bedford County, VA) Family 2: 1. Jane Gincy GOAD? 2. +Mary A. Elizabeth (Lizzie) GOAD 3. +Tabitha GOAD 4. +Thomas Dixon GOAD 5. +Henry S. GOAD NOTE: There is some uncertainty about Jane Gincy Goad, including whether there really was a Jane Gincy Goad and whether she was actually a member of Family 2. I have also been informed that Alexander A. is NOT from Family 1 but was actually the oldest of the five siblings from Family 2. (This information comes from Alexander A. Goad's descendants, now living in/around Batesville, MS, where Alexander apparently settled with another Goad brother as a young adult.) My ggfather was the youngest of the five children, Henry S. (Samson?) Goad, born in 1840 according to some records, though his tombstone reads 1842-1924. Henry's mother died when he was 2 years old, and his father, the widower Abraham, apparently left him in the care of an area family (possibly the Knights or the Lankfords?)--who may or may not have been related in some way. Henry apparently left for Missouri when he was around 14 years old with a somewhat older individual, a Mr. E. Kemp. They came to settle in and around Madison and Wayne County, Missouri, where many members of our family still reside. Eventually, Henry became a gentleman farmer (mule breeder), and a highly respected member of his community, particularly noted for "peacemaking" ability. The Alexander and Henry Goad lines had lost track of each other in the mid-1800's. Last year, I posted an inquiry on an online forum and was contacted by one of Alexander's descendants in Mississippi. My brother and sister-in-law and I attended the Alexander Goad Family reunion in Batesville, MS, last July-which was the first time the two branches of the family had been in the same room together for more than 150 years! Many Goads--including Henry and his third wife, Rachel E. (Smith) Goad--and extended family members are buried in Beulah Cemetery (Des Arc, MO), as well as other area graveyards. A number of Kemps are also buried at Beulah, the oldest being Carolina Kemp (1849-1939). Henry and Rachel's youngest child, Claude Clay Goad (1896-1990) was my gfather. His son, Gordon Leigh Goad, born in Detroit in 1926 and currently residing in St. Louis, MO, is my father. We have never known the real connection between Henry and Mr. E. Kemp though the tradition in the family is that they were half-brothers. This would seem unlikely, unless there was an illegitimate birth involved (possible) or one of Abraham's wives had been married before and had (older) children (also possible). Can anyone assist me with solving this mystery? Also, if anyone is interested, I have collected volumes of information about the Goad family, which I will be happy to share or exchange.

Can anyone verify if the Alice Boston listed in this District 6, 1880 Smith County, Tenn census is the same Alice as that who married Henry Clay Hesson, the son of Peter A. Hesson and his wife Amanda? Henry Clay is shown on the same census, same district, as age 14 and they live not too far apart. David C.

For those working on the Holland lines of Tennessee, please make this correction: In the North of the Cumberland Cemetery Book (and probably same online also) you will find Louverna C. Holland listed with the death date of 4 Feb 1923. The correct date of death is 4 Feb 1928 as has today been verified by photo of her tombstone (Mullinaux Cemetery, Gladdice, Jackson, Tenn.) This is Vern, as she was called, Pyron (also found Pyrant, Pyrent, etc.) Her date of birth is correct 15 June 1848. She was the spouse of Leonidas (Lon) T. Holland. Lon is buried in Red Boiling Springs, Macon Co., Tenn. in the Whitley Cemetery. (Does anyone have answers as to why this couple was not buried in the same cemetery?) Thank You Melba Wilkins

Hi , I also sent the Mayonnaise Jar and The Coffee to the people on my address list and got a lot of good feed back, I hope to read more good things like the in the future. Fred

Bob - I thought you might like to know that I sent your "Mayonnaise/Coffee" story to my daughter-in-law who teaches at a university in Texas. She used it in her class of freshmen who were trying to "fit in" in the college scene.....She reports that they were impressed!! Thank you for sharing........Doris

Have been working on completing some Hesson information. Can someone tell me if Clayton Hesson married to M. F.___ also had the maiden name of Thomas as did Amanda Thomas the wife of Peter A. Hesson (brother of Clayton Hesson)? If so, where they sisters....and what does M. F. stand for? I have as siblings in this family the following: Judy 15 (1835); Peter A. 11 (1839); Mary A. 9 (1841); Leighton 6 (1844); Clayton 4 (1846); and Peyton 1 (1849); (These are children of John N. Hesson and Nancy Kemp). Am I missing any? I was able to find dates on both Clayton and Peter A. who are buried in the Sanderson Cemetery in Smith Co. Can anyone share information re the other siblings? And children of all? Appreciate any help. Thanks Melba Wilkins

In a message dated 10/19/05 2:18:15 P.M. Central Daylight Time, tomdic@hotmail.com writes: Hi Sue, B. C. Hesson was married to Margaret Piper, daughter of George and Lucy Bell Piper. Margaret was born in about 1925. B. C. was not the son of Fred "Catsox" Hesson. I think B. C. was born in the Ebenezer Community of Macon County. George and Lucy Bell lived on Little Peyton's Creek, in the Pleasant Shade Community, up the road from me, in the 1940s. I remember B. C. flying by my house really making the dust and gravels fly. Tom ******************************************** Sue...I am thinking that B. C. and Billy Clark cannot be one and the same person. Billy Clark was born 15 Mar 1930 and during the worst of WWII 1941 he would only have been 11 years old. Billy Clark did die in a Navy plane crash in 1957. My records do not show that he was married to a Margaret. I also went to 537 Smith History and re read that history that Fred Hesson wrote and found no referral to a Margaret (Piper, or otherwise). (My research is with Altie Bell Duke who married Johnnie Hesson). Melba Wilkins ******************************************************** OK, I hate to sound like the "moron" here, but I'm confused?? I understand B C is not the son of Fred, but is Billy Clark, the son of Fred or is Billy Clark, B C?? WHICH one was b. 1930, WHICH one died in the plane crash in 1957??
