The
children of James M. Goad (Goard) and Margaret Shockley were:
Robert
Peter Goad (m. Caroline Julie Ann Stephens)
Mary
M. Goad (m. Eli Dodson)
Thomas
Goad (m. Elizabeth Rebecca Jones)
Alexander
S. Goad (m. (1) Jane Henderson (2) Jane Cantrell Wilmoth)
Isabelle
Goad (m. Nathan Driver)
Ephraim
C. Goad (m. (1) Susannah E. Partridge (2) Nancy A. Fulton)
James
Madison Goad (M. Rebecca Fisher)
Margaret
Goad (m. George Wood)
1
At the time that this legal instrument was made, Robert Goad, Mary Goad
Dodson and Eli Dodson were deceased. In the line which includes "the titles
of James Goard, Robert Goard, and Ephraim Goard," Robert Goard probably
should have been Thomas Goard. All of the rest of the offspring of James
and Margaret are mentioned with Robert appearing twice, while Thomas is
not mentioned at all. It is unlikely that there would have been two sons
by the name of Robert.
2.
This deed may have been made to assure a clear title to land in the estate
of James Goad dec'd. Some of the direct heirs were deceased and others
were not in the local area able to sign the deed (They were likely in northwest
Arkansas)
