Hi Brenda Sue....I'm Morris Fletcher -- also descended from "Old George" Fletcher (1796-1860) via his sons Alexander (1816-1876) by Dicey Johnson and Simon (1827-1875) by Louisa Marshall....and from Reuben & Elizabeth (Noland) Marshall via their children Louisa and Mason. I also noted your posts of last week on the JOCOKY/Reunion list.

Regarding your Goalson J. Howard, here's what I see in my Magoffin Co Hist Soc reference books (my apologies if you have all of this data); spellings as they are listed:

* 1860 Mag Co census: HH# 546, 4 yr old Golson J. living with William (31) & Arta (Salyer) (23) Howard.
* 1870 census: 13 yr old Golson J. living w/ William (49) & Arty (30) in Precinct 5, HH# 62.....9 month old Cate Howard living w/ Larkin (33) & Polly (Salyer) (31) Howard in same Precinct 5, HH# 81.
* 1880: 28 yr old (I'd bet it was 23 on the original/actual census) farmer Gholson heads HH# 160 in Precinct 5, "Meadows", w/ wife Ellen (20)....10 yr old Katie lives w/ merchant Lark (40) & Polly (35) in HH# 100, same Precinct.
* 1900: 47 yr old Gholson (b Apr 1853) & 30 yr old Kate (b May 1870) in HH# 211 in District # 4 "Meadows". They're m 12 yrs; Kate has had 4 children, ages 10 to 2; thus,16 yr old Argustus must be son via Ellen?
* 1910: 52 yr old G.H. & 35 yr old Kate in HH# 54 in Atkeson Precinct. G.H. & Kate m 20 yrs (his second m); she's had 7 kids, 6 living, 4 (all girls) at home.
* 1920: 63 yr old home owner Golden & 45 yr old Kate in HH# 197 in Ivyton Precinct # 5 w/ dau Maxie and two boarders.

* Mag Co KY Marriages, 1860-1910: Only entry for a Gholson Howard refers to m to Pairett Watkins 27 Apr 1900 -- not likely your Goalson? Four Kate/Katey Howard marriages listed; none match husband/date.

* Mag Co KY Cemeteries Vol IV, pg 67: "Kate Howard Cemetery" in Ivyton shows Kate Howard b 1869, d 1949; shows G.H.Howard b 1868, d 1925. Birth date and middle initial do not match your Goalson, but could possibly be result of mis-read by surveyor or mis-type by transcriber? No other "G" Howard's in 1920 census, that I see, could be this person....and I see no other Howard's in Magoffin cemetery volumes close to your Goalson or Kate.

Subject: [MAGOFFIN-HISTORY] Goalson J. HOWARD born 1857 Magoffin Co. KY

Hello, I'm looking for the death date and gravesite of my gggrandfather, Goalson J. HOWARD, son of William HOWARD and Arty SALYER. He died after 1920, likely in Magoffin Co. My gggrandmother was Miriam CRISP, daughter of Joel CRISP and Rebecca BARNETT. I am descended through their son, Augustus HOWARD born 1883. Goalson was married to Kate HOWARD, daughter of Lark HOWARD and Mary Ann SALYER in 1887. I truly appreciate anyone's help.
