Hello,
I would be happy to share with you the information we have been able to piece together. We descend from John Joseph and Mary Ann "Johanna" Goody's first son, John Joseph Goody, born 12 Nov. 1844. I believe Frank Goody was the second child and son.
Johanna's maiden name was located in her son John "Joseph's" marriage record in the Lee County, Iowa "Return of Marriages in the County of Lee" for the year ending Oct. 1, 1884. The name is difficult to read but is our best guess. Joseph's bride was Charlotte Corey. Lee County death records mention Johanna Goody's death date as Oct. 13, 1892 at age 72 years, died at Pleasant Ridge Twp, born in Schlesnig near Duidorf, Prussia. Cause of death: Apoplexy.
