My grandfather was James Calvin Beach. In my notes, my dad referred to James' brothers as Dock and Goff. Does anyone have information on these names?

John Beswick Beach is the 7th generation below John Beach, of the 3 Beach brothers that came to America. As you can see one sibling of James is named Charles Judson Goff Beach, but don't see anything about a Dock. I don't have further data on Goff.

Think I might be able to help with your research of the Beach family. Last year did much research on the Beach family.

My 2nd great-grandaunt was Jennie Hoff married to John Nelson Price. My primary research over 20 years has been with the Hoff family, but have always helped with all my family lines. I have spent many years focused on Marietta Ohio.
