Lee I descend from this Godfrey family you are speaking of. My ancestor was Thomas Godfrey the French aand Indian War Scout. His grandson Augustus is buried in this cemetery and his son Thomas is my G.Grandfather. His wife was a Tiller and I have our lineage from them forward. My Grandmother was a Loraine Mae Godfrey who died in 1943. They are my Godfrey Pioneer genea- logy. Lee I descend from Thomas Godfrey, Richard Bailey, Shrewsbury, Bashams, Harmon, Patton G. White, and numerous other families from Mercer County. Lee I am a past president of the Mercer County Historical Society, and I too organized and was first commander of the Flat Top Copperheads, SCV Camp 1694. So I am very familiar with these families from our area. My name is Glendle H. Belcher, Jr. 304-425-4990 if you need me. I use on Yahoo messenger too.
