Surnames: Gooch, Law, Franklin
My grandfather was Edward Franklin Gooch born in Tenna in the late 1800's. Married a woman, Leola Law (father Richard E. Law and mother Amy Franklin), from Gravel Hill, TN, near Hartsville in Trousdale County in or around 1890. He moved to Monnesson, Pennsylvania in or about 1918 and later pastored a church in Braddock, Penna. until his death sometime between 1939 and 1941.

Rev. Gooch had a younger brother Lester who joined him in PA and lived there until his death in the late 50's or early 60's. They came from a large family probably around Hartsville or Nashville. Rev. Gooch enjoyed returning to TN every August for a Trousdale county fair which was held in a town that starts with the letter "L". He also preached at various churches when he returned home each August. His daughter, Louise, played the organ and sang wherever Rev. Gooch preached.

Let me know how we may be related. Thanks, Lynn

Hi Nikki,
Carol Warren again-------------believe the GOOCH surname is also connected to my line----------came across it years ago,
and did not pursue research.
I know what I have written is sketchy, but if you can give me anymore info, it would be most helpful.
I am especially interested in your BROWNS--------my ggrandmother was CHARATA BROWN (WEELDON), Native, born 1833 NC ? ; BUT, I truly believe an image for WILLIS and CHARITEE
WEEDEN (1870) Todd, KY is them.
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks,
carol.

Here is my e-mail address kiyoko5@bellsouth.net

My laptop recently crashed and had the most up-to-date family tree on it but I think if you look at the family tree section under me you will get the same info. I have some of the family tree on this pc but it is not as current as the other one. I took a family history and genealogy class last semester so that inspired me to do some more digging. The Gooch line is also on my father's side. Mahalia Gooch married John Drew and had 10 or 11 children, one of which is my grandfather Richard Drew, Sr. They are of native and African American origin. Mahalia Gooch had 1 brother, Harvey Gooch, Jr and 6 sisters, Annie, Katie, Lucy, Sallie, Sadie and Hattie.

I have an Elizabeth Brown who married one of my grandfather's brothers, Will Drew, Sr.

One of my great grandmother's sisters, Annie Gooch, married a Dan Brown.

I do not have any info other than their names.

kiyoko, I have letters from my mother's friend who lived in Adamsville TN in 1931. She mentioned a Gooch School that she said was located about 25 miles away. I don't know if you'll find this helpful of of interest, but I thought I'd pass the information along.

Were there any details about the school in the letters? Any information is appreciated.

Thank you,
