I wish I had more information for you, but here's what I know. about the immediate
descendants of James Jefferson Goar. I have more information about the descendants of
Lydie Ellen's siblings, but nothing more about Lydia. You'll note that my
information suggested she was married to a Mr. Stewart after her first marriage. I am
descended from Lavicia Paul's sister, Sarah Paul Redmon. Let me know if I can help
more.
