Hello to the Morgan County list! I have just joined
in the hope that I can find out more about the family
of Martin Goble, an older brother of my
great-grandfather, Corban Goble. Martin was born in NC
in 1807, married to Sarah/Sally Castner/Cosner in 1831
in Monroe County. They were living in Monroe County in
1840, then Morgan County in 1850-1880, where they
lived in Baker Twp. Martin had land grants in 1849,
and in 1850 they are listed with 11 children, and by
1860 they had two more.
Some of their children migrated to Monroe County,
but I have not yet been able to find death records or
burial places for Martin and Sarah. Hints in the
newspaper indexes at the Morgan County Library
indicate that they may have died in the 1880s. Perhaps
they and some of their children may have been buried
in a family cemetery somewhere in Baker Twp.
All help appreciated. Corban Goble, Bowling Green,
KY.
