Goad, b Oct 1834 Tenn, m Sarah Jane Brashears Wilbourn. . He has been claimed to be a s/o William H. Goad, but this Williams' existence is questionable. . 1850 census, William not located. . Lived in Lawrence Co, Tenn. . Note: It has been speculated that the ancestor(s) of the Lawrence Co, Tenn Goads was William H. Goad, with estimated dates . of b ca 1800, d 1835, and who had wife Nelly ____, b ca 1800, and/or Joseph Goad, with estimated (guess) birth year of . ca 1805, who m Mary (Polly) Lacey, d 1897. Neither William H. or Joseph are located in the census records. If either of . those two existed, then they could be other sons of Thomas Goad, above, and hence the father(s) of some of the unidenti- . fied Goads below. One line of speculation was that there was a Nancy Goad in Lawrence Co, who may have been the . widow of William Goad (#2221), who conceivably could have been the father of William H. and Joseph, if they existed. . However, the Nancy "Goad" in the 1830 and 1840 Lawrence Co census' was clearly Nancy Todd. . Other Maury/Lawrence County Goads, probably descendants of Robert Goad Sr (#24), through Thomas Goad, above, or . Robert Goad Jr (#244) or Reuben Goad (#2412). Richard Jackson (Jack) Goad and John C. Goad, below, were apparently . born in Virginia, acc to the census records, so may have no connection to Thomas Goad's family, unless he or one of his sons . briefly returned to Virginia about 1820. Thomas isn't located in 1820. There are so many unknown Goads in the Maury Co . area, b in the 1820-1836 range, that there must be one or more unknown Goad males, possibly son or sons of Thomas, and/or . Goad children born out of wedlock to one or more mothers. No clues in the 1820-40 census'. . (Ken Haas doesn't believe that Joshua, Robert M., or Newton are sons of Thomas.): 24126 1.

Gourd,14 Tenn. 24173 6. Robert M. Goad, b ca 1826-27 Tenn (or Va), m Sarah Elvira Godwin (Sallie). . He had been mistakenly thought by many (including myself) to be Robert Goad (#2464), s/o Richard Goad of Bedford Co, . Va, but the evidence is clearly contradictory to this linkage, and is discussed on their pages. . He was listed next door to Mary E. Gourd,14 Tenn, below. . 7. Wiley Goad, b ca 1833-34 Tenn, m Sarah H. ____, b ca 1831 Ala. . Possibly not a s/o Thomas, Reuben, or Robert Jr, and listed here since he was born in "Murray" Co, Tenn (see below). .
