Rosanne: Abraham Goad 75 was in the household of Nancy Bishop 67, Mary Bishop 38 and James Bishop 31. This was in the 1850 Smith County TN census. Then in 1860 Smith County census Mary Bishop 48 is in the household of James Bishop 41 and Elizabeth Bishop. I believe that James was Mary Bishop's brother. This is why I feel she did not marry Abraham Goad. I posted Reuben and Mary Goad's bible record on this website. Peggy
