Hi all,
I went back and reviewed the census for Ephram Henry Good/Goad & Tennessee Elizabeth
Cagle. I now am of the opinion that Ephram Henry's last name was most likely Goad or
Goard. These are the census:
---1850 on census in Marion Co., TN:
William Goard, 28, m/w, Farmer, TN
Martha Goard, 24, f/w, TN
Henry Goard, 4, m/w, TN
James Goard, 3, m/w, TN
Nancy Goard, 11/12, f/w, TN
(I believe that this is Ephram Henry with his parents)
---1860 on census in Monroe Co., TN:
William Gann, 31, m/w, laborer, TN
Mary A. Gann, 28, f/w, wife, TN
J.H. Gann, 7, m/w, TN
Mary T. Gann, 6, f/w, TN
Amanda E. Gann, 4, f/w, TN
Margaret A. Gann, 2, f/w, TN
Henry Goard, 15, m/w, TN
James K. Goard, 13, m/w, TN
(Martha Jane Gourd married Harrel/Harrol/Harrold Hicks in Monroe Co., TN 30 Nov 1860.
Ancestry has two marriages listed for "Harold" Hicks to Martha Jane Gourd in
1860 & to Martha J. Gourd on 15 Jan 1874 both in Monroe Co., TN. I believe the second
marriage was to a younger Harold Hicks who is listed on the 1880 Monroe Co., TN census
with wife named Nannie, 27.)
