I'm looking for information on Josephus Godbey who was the son of Joshua L.and Sarah Randolph Godbey of Kentucky. He was born in 1849. I can't find him after 1860 when he was living with his parents in Pulaski Co., Ky. I found information that says he might have been a Methodist minister in Indiana possibly in Pike Co. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I have his wife listed as Hanner Margaret Trout according to the census and Jane M as one of his dughters from the same. I would appreciate and gladly share my info with you.

My husband is the grandson of Georgia Ann Godby, daughter of Henry Godby and (?), who later married Mary Lowe. I am unable to find any information on Georgia's mother other than she was Cherokee Indian. My husband's father was Tom M Johnson who was Georgia's last child. His mother was Virginia White Johnson, daughter of Edgar Edmon and Anna White. Any help anyone can provide in either family line will be appreciated as I have had a very hard time coming up with much help in my search.

Godbey DNA Project Update

DavidFarmer976 — 2009-04-04 13:17:27Z

Yesterday we received our 5th set of DNA results in the Godby DNA Project at Family Tree DNA.

These new results are an exact match with our other 4 and prove beyond a doubt the traditional link between the Casey/Pulaski Co., KY and Logan Co., WVA/Montgomery Co., VA groups of Godbys.

If there are any Davie Co., NC Godbys that would consider joining, please do. We need to prove that traditional link as well!

Re: Thomas Godbey

jegdragon — 2009-03-25 09:00:33Z

I'm afraid that I have lost most of my research, but has far as I can remember the 2nd Thomas left every thing to his wife. The VA state archives has his both of his wills the 1st one was written because he traveled back and forth to England. While filed it was never probated. His second will was made shortly before his death and was probated.

Re: Josiah Godbey & Sena Kelly

Found out from doing some research that Josiah Godbey's second wife was Sternice A. Streit. They married Feb. 27, 1889.

Josiah Godbey & Sena Kelly

Hjgbey — 2008-08-23 12:57:53Z

According to "Lights and Shadows of Seventy Years" the autobiography of John Emory Godbey, his mother Sena Kelly died in 1888 and his father Josiah Godbey married a second time in 1889. There is no mention of his second wife's name. They lived in Otterville, MO. Does anyone know the name of this woman and the date of their marriage? Thanks for any help.

Re: Godbey DNA Project

By "Match", I mean that the numerical value attached to each loci (DYS#) through testing is the same on each loci for each of the 4 members.

Re: Godbey DNA Project

marthajanehiggins — 2008-07-14 15:17:31Z

Hope this doesn't require too detailed of an answer but when you say all 4 "match" what do you mean? I went to the website and couldn't really find an answer. Could be I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks.
