I'm attempting to build a family tree for a 90 yr old aunt who knows little about her heritage further back than her grandparents' names due to having been orphaned around age 9. Trying to find information on the family of Samuel GOFF who was b. May 1876 in Upper Township, Richland Co, South Carolina and moved to GA sometime before 1900. Samuel was the older brother of my aunt's mother Estelle I. GOFF who married Robert Weston JONES of Columbia, Richland Co, SC. I would especially like to find Samuel's death date so as to get his death certificate and learn his father's name. 1900 Odum - Samuel is a boarder in the household of David Corten; next door is the Nicholas McGAULEY family with a dau. Lill*n age 17y. 1910, Odum - Samuel 35y is married 10 yrs; wife named as Lillen Q. 30y b. GA; next door is still the Nicholas McGauley family from the 1900 census minus daughter Lill*n. Samuel & Lillen have children - William H 9y, Rozzie C 7y(dau), Au** B 4y (dau, Perry N 2y & Lillie M */12y...illigible but under a year old. 1920 Odum - Samuel 43y & Lillen 39y (now called Lilly) have the following family make-up - Henry 18y, Rozzie 16y, Oammie B. 14y, Perry 12y, May 10y, Clyde 8y, Alma 6y, Lewis 4y, Osburn 2y6m & Aviner 11 m (dau). Next door is still the Nicholas McGauley family. 1930 Odum - Samuel 54y (married at age 26y) & Lilia 49y (married at 21y) have the following family make-up - Mary 20y, Clar** 18y(son), Alma 16y, Louis 14y, Osburn 12y, Christine 9y & Connie 8y. Next door now is the family of William McGauley 42y believed to be the son of Nicholas who has a 12y son Willian on the 1900 census. One family away is William H. GOFF 28y (married at 26y) with wife Lee Ann 20y (married at 18y) and children Leland 1y 9m & Irma 6 mos. Samuel's wife Lilia / Lillen / Lilly's possible maiden is McGAULEY based on proximity of the family of Nicholas McGAULEY with dau. Lillie b. Jan 1882 being nextdoor in 1900 and the fact that Samuel & wife Lil remain nextdoor neighbors of the Nicholas McGAULEY family through the 1930 census. Can anyone help with this family of Samuel GOFF?
