The parents of Edwin were Peter and Elizabeth Goad. He was 33 in 1880, she 29. He born Ind.(Greene Co.) she Ill. Edwin had siblings Mary, Thomas.,Charles,Grace and Benjamin, perhaps others. The parents of Peter were Aaron and Frances (Fanny), Ayres (Ayers) and Edith. Abraham and Anne, John and Catherine (or Ann), Abraham and Katherine, John the oldest Goad we know. died 1734 in Richmond County, Va. I have written a book on the Goads that discusses all of these people. --- Ken Haas

Jackie : I found a Bible record of Peter's family. He first married Nary Woodall in 1864. They had one daughter Mary born in 1870.(likely earlier miscarriages). The wife must have died as Peter m.(2) Elizabeth Hadden in 1872, she born 1850, the daughter of Samuel and Nancy Hadden. Peter and Liz had FOURTEEN children, six of whom died as infants, five being boys, Four boys and four girls survived. I have exact birth dates for all the family and death days for the infants who died. This record does have Edwin M. , not Edward, born 4 Dec 1877. They had two sons born that year and THREE children in 1881, a pair being twins. The twins, Jeanette and Rosietta both survived.-- Ken Haas

Ken
Information is great. been looking for quite some time for Edwin ( My 91 year old aunt bless her gave me the name Edward, but have since found she was wrong) Would like to have the dates etc for the "Tree", still looking for Gracie (Edwins wife), she kind of dropped off the face of the earth, never did contact any of her children after she left. ( two stories, 1. she left on her own, and 2. She was forced to leave by Edwin, not sure which if either is true, but cannot find what happened to her) She leaves a mystery in the Bridges family archives.

Hi Ken,
I am hoping that you will be able to give me information on my Great Grandmother Grace Maud Bridges Goad who was married to Edwin Morton Goad. Edwin was born 1877 Wayne County IL. Grace was born 1881 Hater Clay County IL. Grace separated from Edwin after their youngest child Chester was born in 1905, I have not been able to find a divorce for them or any death information on her. I appreciate any help that you can give me.

Thank you,
Judy

Edwin Morten Goad is my great-grandfather. He was one of 13 children raised by Peter Goad, decorated civil war veteran, who was the son of Aaron Goad and Elizabeth Agnes Canady Hadden. Edwin was raised on his father Peter's farm in Xenia, IL. Edwin was the fifth child, but first to survive to adulthood. The family cemetery just outside of Xenia, close to the old homeplace, shows the tiny headstones of his siblings, many of whom succumbed as toddlers to malaria and pneumonia, although time has dimmed the etchings on the markers. He worked around the year as a farmer, railroad man and orchard manager. During his time as a young man, Southern Illinois was known for large, productive orchards. He was very fond of orchardry and gardening, and enjoyed doing the same at my grandparents' home inear Nameoki, later in his life, where I have fond memories of him. Like most of his generation and background, he was not one to sit and watch TV - he preferred to be outside. One of my favorite photos of him is as a young man, working his farm with a team of huge matched draft mules, the size of which you seldom see today. He was a handsome, vigorous and healthy man into his old age. Our extended family hunted his farm my whole childhood, as well as my early adult years after his death, and always had many family in the area - Sessions, Greenwoods, Goads and many others. We would take my grandmother Ora along with us so she could visit with all of her relations throughout the day while we bird hunted. We had many fond memories there. His sister Grace lived in his home for many years after his passing - not to be confused with his wife Gracie. Early in his life, after having five children with his wife Gracie Maude Bridges, he and Gracie had a falling out. I was told he insisted she leave over it and she did, for good. Edwin never remarried. My grandmother, Ora, was the oldest of those five children and overnight was responsible for caring for the house, helping to care for and raise the four younger siblings and all that went along with that in the farm life of the early 1900s. She handled it well. She loved her siblings and kept them close, and was especially fond of Shell, her sister, every day of her life. She in turn married William Paschedag. Her brother Loren Goad, married William's sister, Regina Paschedag. I know all of the above to be true and can help you with more if you need it, in the manner and spirit as others have kindly helped me. All the best. dp
