Re: Sarah Partin Goodson/Thomas Goodson Marion County Tennessee

peggyross17 — 2012-03-31 01:09:25Z

I found Thomas Goodson in the 1850 and 1860 Census living in Bledsoe County Tennessee. On the 1850 Census he is living in the household of his mother, Sarah, which I believe is the wife of Thomas Goodson (1840 Bledsoe County Census). On the 1840 census living in the household of Thomas are the following: 1 male 10-14 (Thomas), 3 males 15-19 (Isaac, not sure of the other two), 1 female 5-9. On the 1850 Census Thomas is married to Elizabeth, and 1860 Census (Marion County) Thomas is listed with Elizabeth on the same page as his brother Issac. Isaac is on the 1850 Warren County Census. Thomas and Isaac, sons of Isaac, were both married in March 1872 in Sequatchie County Tennessee and I think that the married sisters (same last name). I hope this will be helpful to you If you have not found this information. I am still trying to find the marriage record for John/Sarah Partin and Thomas/Sarah Goodson.

Re: Alabama Goodson

acconway1932 — 2012-03-05 14:32:27Z

Christina, my grandfather is Greenberry Goodson who was born and raised in Walker County Georgia. His son, Barney Felton Goodson, had a son named Green Berry Goodson who was named after grandfather Goodson. Uncle Barney was born in Walker County, Georgia and later lived in Gadsden, Alabama which is in Etowah County where he passed away. It is my understanding that his son, Green Berry(called G.B.) moved to Arkansas later in his life and I assume he passed away there. My Mother, Mary Birtis Goodson Crawford, is the daughter of Greenberry Goodson and the sister of Barney Felton Goodson. Grandfather Goodson was a Miller at Berry School(now Berry College) in the 20's and 30's and passed away while living there in 1940. He died in Rome, Georgia, Floyd County. Does this help? We could be related. Let me know what you think.

Re: South Carolina to Coffee County, AL and Pike County, AL

richardgoodson63 — 2012-01-29 20:40:54Z

Thanks for the response.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. From what I gather from the census reports. There were two Jame Monroe Goodson's born in the 1850's in Alabama. My relative was born in 1850 in Jefferson County, we have been told. The other one was born in 1858 I believe.

My relative J.M. Goodson worked in the streets division of Jefferson County probably in the 1870's and moved to Coffee County shortly thereafter (1880?) My grandfather was born in Elba, Coffee County in 1883.

We have heard that these Goodson's are of Scoth-Irish descnet and moved down from north Carolina-South Carolina to Alabama. I also have one account that they came from Georgia. No one really knows.

I am hoping that since William Henry Goodson is supposed to be his brother and they don't know his father either that maybe eventually we can find a parent with the children James Monroe from 1850 and William Henry from 1843 (I think). So far no luck, but we'll keep looking.

Again thanks for taking the time to respond.

Richard

Re: South Carolina to Coffee County, AL and Pike County, AL

HazelMLeBlanc — 2012-01-29 17:36:16Z

Could you William Henry Goodson be William Hemphill Goodson, born 29 June 1870 in Pickens Co., AL His brother, James Monroe Goodson was married to Martha Davis. Mattie is a nickname for Martha. This is all of the information I have on James Monroe and Martha Davis Goodson.

Re: James Goodson, Sr.

HazelMLeBlanc — 2012-01-29 17:31:06Z

Sue Ann, do you have any information connecting your James Goodson to Benjamin Franklin Goodson? If so then we are directly related. His parents were James Goodson and Rachel Ratcliff.

I also have another line of Goodsons, as two Goodsons married each other Gafayette Co. AR (later to become Miller Co.,) Willis Marshall Goodson born 29 Jul 1834 in Franklin Co., MS, died 17 Sept. 1917 (I don't know the place) and Mary Ann Goodson born in 1852 in Autauga Co., AL, died 1890, I don't have the place.

Re: Arthur GOODSON:Rhoda WARD

HazelMLeBlanc — 2012-01-29 16:50:10Z

Can you give us more information on either Arthur Goodson or Rhoda Ward?

Re: Arthur GOODSON:Rhoda WARD

HazelMLeBlanc — 2012-01-29 16:42:59Z

I do not show an Arthur Goodson married to a Rhoda Ward. I do have an Arthur Goodson who is unmarried.

I have a James Monroe Goodson, born 18 Oct 1858 in Perkins Co., AL. His parents were William Newton Goodson, born on 08 Mar. 1835 in GA, no death date. He was married on 07 Feb. 1858 probably in Pickens Co., AL. to Neoma Cheek Garvin, born 11 Jul 1839 in Pickens Co., AL, no death date for her.

If this is the one you are looking for, he had 9 siblings.

Re: South Carolina to Coffee County, AL and Pike County, AL

richardgoodson63 — 2012-01-28 22:47:21Z

I don't have an answer to your question, but according to one of your relatives (Mattie Goodson), my great-great grandfather James Monroe Goodson and William Henry "Billy" Goodson were brothers. We don't know who the father is.

My guess is that most of the Goodon's in Coffee County/Pike County and Geneva County are all related. The question is who was the first families to settle that area?

Re: Arthur GOODSON:Rhoda WARD

richardgoodson63 — 2012-01-28 22:25:15Z

I am also am a descendant of James Monroe Goodson (DOB:1850)of Alabama. We do not know who his parents are, but it had been rumored that we are of Scotch-Irish descent. It is also speculated that we came to Alabama by way of S.C., N.C. and Virginia.

There are a slew of Goodsons that settled in the SE corner of Alabama in the early 1800's. My feeling is that since there are so many Goodson's concentrated in the area, we are all related in some fashion.

The James Goodson that you mention could be his father's father, his father or a brother of his father. We are desperately looking for a James Goodson born in 1850 that is related to nay other Goodson.

Re: Sarah Partin Goodson/Thomas Goodson Marion County Tennessee

caroleddiegoodson — 2012-01-18 00:38:33Z

I'm close to connecting some dots concerning the Thomas Goodson you have listed. My great, great grandfather was Thomas H Goodson. I believe he is listed on that same census page you are refering to as being a field laborer at the adjacent farm to Thomas and Sarah Goodson. I know they must be related but have not put them together yet. Maybe we can pool what we each have and break this mystery.

Re: Thomas Goodson

HazelMLeBlanc — 2012-01-17 06:38:35Z

Do you have any connection to James Goodson and Rachel Ratcliff Goodson? I descend from their son Benjamin Franklin Goodson and his 2nd wife Emily Dorothy Mills. He also fought in the American Revolution. I joined the DAR under him. He is well documented.

Re: Thomas Goodson

NancyPulley — 2012-01-16 01:36:01Z

My grandfather was James Madison Pittman. KathyEconomy says that her mother was the daughter of Cleo Grace Goodson. Grace was the daughter of James Madison Pittman and Maude Phillips. My father, James Benjamin Pittman, was the son of James Madison and Mary Katherine Duncan Pittman. He married her after Maude Phillips died. I have a few pictures and lots of info and am looking for any pictures of James Madison or the Pittman family, especially his mother and father Anderson Augustus Pittman and Lucy Malvain Blair.

Re: Thomas Goodson

NancyPulley — 2012-01-16 01:22:29Z

I read a post by someone whose mother was Cleo Grace (Pittman) Goodson. Grace was my father's half-sister. My father, James Benjamin Pittman, was born in Gentryville to James Madison Pittman and Mary Katherine Belle Duncan Pittman. Cleo Grace was part of James Madison Pittman's first family with Maud Phillips. I would love any pictures of that first family, of James Madison or of his father Anderson Augustus Pittman. I have a couple of pictures of James Madison and would happily share any information that would be helpful to you.

Noah Goodson 1847-1923 of Florida

slander1709 — 2012-01-11 05:44:19Z

Noah Goodson was my great, great grandfather. He was married to Mary Americus Talley (1858-1923) and was the son of Jesse Warren Goodson and Celina Sarah Perry. A message board post from about ten years ago indicated that someone had a photo of Noah Goodson. I am seeking a copy of that photograph or any other of Noah (or his wife Mary or their parents/children for that matter). Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. I also have some unidentified photos of my own from my grandmother's photo album that I would love help identifying, so if you are familiar with this family and can help, please let me know that as well.

Hello,
Martha J Goodson is my ggg grandmother, she married F (Montraville or Monte Patton. He was from Buncombe North Carolina & I suspect his line may have been through Col John Patton of Buncombe, one of the 1st settelers. I am trying to trace this line also. There is another Montraville Patton born the same year and also married a Martha j but he was Moses Montraville and moved to Missouri. Our Montravile was a F. Montravile. It can really get confusing! Martha's parents were Thomas Goodson & Matilda Ellison. Hope that helps. Jenny
