Gose, John was born 1769 in MD and died 1876 in Tazewell. There is quite a controversy over who the mother of his children was: Christine WOLAND or Adeline COOPER. My line descends from his daughter, Mary Polly YOST b. abt 1812 in Tazewell. If you get any positive results, please let me know. Emme Ratcliff Leslie
