Hi, Claudia!
I'm experiencing some problems with my Address Book and it wouldn't allow me to
store your address so I'm writing to you via this site. James Jefferson Goar was the
son of Henry Goar and Martha Ellen Smith. Henry Goar was born on 11-16-1821 in Monroe
Co., VA. Martha Ellen Smith was born 11-16-1821 in Maysville, KY. I don't know of
other children besides James Jefferson Goar. This info. came from Leigh Morris (World
Family Tree). I just received some additional info. from the obit of Clifford Paul
Nichols, who died on 7-28-1970 in Fargo, Cass Co., MN. He came to Fargo 35 years before
his death (@1935). He worked as a conductor for the Great Northern Railroad for 48 years.
Member of the Masons, Kem Temple of the Shrine and Railway Brotherhood. He was married
on 9-26-1922 to Minnie Tuffree. They had a daughter named Louise (m. Leo Cobb and lived
in Des Moines, IA). Clifford had 2 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. He had a 1/2
brother and sister in SD. I wou!
ld be very interested in the history of the earlier generations of the Goar family.
Thanks!
