Surnames: Goddard, Drane, Gibson, Staton, Glave
I am looking for ancestors related to William Wirt Goddard & Sara Eliza Glave. William was born 8 Feb 1820 in Georgetown, Scott, Kentucky & died 27 Jan 1901 in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., Kentucky. Sara was born 24 Jan 1832 in Cynthiana, Harrison, Kentucky & died 1 Dec. 1918 in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., Kentucky. Looking to trade information and photo's with other relatives.

William was my great great grandfather. W.W. & Sara Eliza Goddard had 9 children: Glave b; 11 Nov 1857, Nicholas b; 1859, Mammie or Maw b; 1861, Rebel b; 1863, Paul b; 1868, Ina b; 1870, RALF b; 10 Oct 1871, Rea b; 1874, Wm. Wirt b; 9 May 1880...... All born at Wildwood Stock Farm in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., Kentucky.

My line is from Ralf Goddard b; 10 Oct. 1871. He married Eliza 'Lalla' West Drane and moved to Long Beach, CA around the turn of the century. They had 2 children; Sara (died as infant) and Glave Andrews Goddard who married Judith Ann Gibson. They in turn had 2 children; Elizabeth Glave Goddard and William 'Billy' Walter Goddard (My father) b; 1944 in Pasadena, CA.

Bill Goddard married Sylvia Gail Staton in 1962 who in turn had 1 child and that child is me. Brian Anthony Goddard b; 9 Aug. 1966.

Any information on this line of Goddard's would be appreciated. I am really looking for information on William Wirt Goddard and his father and grandfather. I believe they were from Maryland.

Thank you, Brian A. Goddard

Brian, did you get responses to this email of yours? I'm in touch with a number of Goddards connected to Wildwood.

Hi Lisa...

No, I'm not getting anything from this site. My great, great grandfather, William Wirt Goddard, built Wildwood. I have sterling platters, cutlery, photographs, the auction poster from when my great grandmother, Sarah, auctioned it off in 1915... and much more. I would luv to talk to you about it. I've put the whole genealogy thing on hold because I came to a stand still.

Feel free to call me sometime. My cell is 760.855.6816. I live in San Diego.

Brian,

W.W. Goddard was my great, great, great grandfather. My line is from Glave Goddard who's daughter, Pauline Bell Goddard Dedman was my great grandmother.

Today, I live on a farm that adjoins "Wildwood" Farm here in Harrodsburg. I happened upon your post while doing research on Rebel Goddard who is being inducted into the Mercer County Fair and Horse Show "Hall of Fame" this evening (Aug. 31, 2010).

If you would like to contact me in the future my e-mail address is mdedman@bellsouth.net.

Best regards

Brian --
I am no help on W.W.'s ancestors and would be interested in seeing what you learn.
Just a side note, Rebel's son, W.W. III (the one apparently so badly burned as a child) was married to my aunt, Ida Greenleaf of Richmond, KY. He died soon after they married and there were no children.

Have you seen the book, Uncle Will of Wildwood? You would enjoy it.

Hi Lisa.... I just arrived this afternoon to Harrodsburg and am staying at the Beaumont Inn for 5 days with the Dedmans. Are you here in Harrodsburg to meet for coffee or lunch and talk Goddard history anytime in the next few days?

How cool is that?!? Take notes! Hello to the Dedmans!

I'm in Oregon, but do plan to be in Independence, MO, for the Goddard Gathering in September. Are you a GHGS member?

I would so love to resolve the mysteries of our mutual family origins. Sigh.
