It appeared that R H Glory had died before the census in 1930. Maggie Lee Green was reprorted wiht the name Maggie Glory, and as Married, but htere was no husband reported in her ghousehold. In 1940 she was reported as a widow, so it appeared perhaps her husband R H Glory had just died or was abvout to die iat the time of the 1930 census. However, in Jully 2015, a record was found for an R H Glory, with no wife reported, in the Fresno City Directory for 1932. This indicates he lived at least till 1932, and since no wife is reported, he was likely divorced. It is known that is other cases, a divorced wife in that era might report therself as a widow in order to avoid questinos and the negative connotatoin of having a divorce. That may be what happened with Maggie Green Glory in the 1940 census. On the same two-page spread of the directory is also an entry for a P Green, matching Maggie's brother-in-law Pink Green, with a matching address on Route 7, the neighboring box. This matches the picture of their living situation that we get from from details in previous censuses and mention of some land purchase or rental deals of Pink with R H Glory. But I do not find a correspnding entry for Maggie under the name either Glory or Green. RH's entry is the only one under the surname of Glory. We might check the directory for the name Schuchard, which has come to light as a marriage of Maggie at some point. Dates have not been recovered or the timeline reconstructed. Nope ... nothing in this directory under the name Schuchard. Further then similar entries for R H Glory were found in the 1933 and 1934 city directories. The address appears to mean Rural Route 7, Box 219, which fits their earlier living situation, U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 Fresno, California, City Directory, 1932, p 734-735 Glory R H rt 7 Bx 219 (p 734) Green P rt 7 Bx 218 (p 735) In the 1933 diirectory R H is at a different address, but stil on a rural route in the county. Again his is the only entry for the surname Glory. This entry is very interesting but puzzling in a differtent way. There are two similar entries now for a Green P and Green Pink. The entry for Green P has the address Rt 9 Box 221a, which is a couple opf houses away form either of the 1932 entries. Then Green Pink is at the very same address as R H Glory, Rt 9 Box 433a. This makes us less certain who the Glory entry might represent and who P Green is in contrast to Pink Green. U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 Fresno, California, City Directory, 1933, p 753-754 Glory R H rt 9 Bx 433a Green P rt 7 Bx 221a (p 754) Green Pink rt 9 Bx 433a (p 754) In the 1934 entry, R H Glory and Pink Green are again at the same address as in 1933. There4 is no entry this time for P Green. U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 Fresno, California, City Directory, 1934, p 746 Glory R H rt 9 Bx 433a Green Pink rt 9 Bx 433a

Willie Gocha's father died sometime before 1835, going by the 1935 census record of his Willie and his mother Jewel. Jewel (Julia in the 1940 census) had married again since her first husband's death and is enumerated as the wife of Lester Jenkins in the Ethel community of Arkansas County, Arkansas. Willie is reported as born in Arkansas. The report that all three lived in the "same place in 1835" seems to indicate that Lester and Jewel married before 1935. I have found no record of Jewel's first husband, but assume he died. 1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 8 April, Prairie Township, District 1-24, page 4A, Hwy 17, Hse #39, Rents $2 Jenkins, Lester Head M W 28 Grade 8 b Ark same place in 1935 Farmer Jenkins, Julia Wife F W 24 (?)

The name found in many records as Gocio is the French name originally spelled Gossiau, which also shows up in various records. 1850 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 25 October, Old River Township, page 23, Hse/Fam #8 Louis Gocio 46 M Farmer $2640 Real Estate b Arkansas Cannot read or write [b abt 1804] Emilie Gocio 45 F b Arkansas Cannot read or write [b abt 1805] Bullina Gocio 18 F b Arkansas [b abt 1832] William Gocio 16 M b Arkansas [b abt 1834] Joseph Gocio 13 M b Arkansas [b abt 1837] James Gocio 9 M b Arkansas [b abt 1841] Emilie Gocio 7 F b Arkansas [b abt 1843] John Gocio 4 M b Arkansas [b abt 1846] Phillip Pinot 24 M Farmer b Arkansas [b abt 1826] Antoine Pinot 12 M b Arkansas [b abt 1838] Emilie Pinot 14 M b Arkansas [b abt 1836] Stephen Newton 36 M Carpenter b Arkansas [b abt 1814] In the 1860 census, Louis was reported as a widower.

Will of Louis Gocio Arkansas County, Arkansas 13 August 1870 Bequeaths $1.00 each to children of first wife Amilea [Amelia] Gocio: Severine Cannon, Belina Stythe, William R Gocio, James L Gocio, John Gocio Bequeaths to minor daughter Alma Anne Gocio all his real estate & some items of furniture Bequeaths to son John Gocio all items of property not specifically given to Alma Anna Executors Henry Young & sons William R & James L Gocio Witnesses John Whitaker & J L Johnson The will's reference to Louis' first wife as Amelia may indicate he married two women named Amelia. Alternatively, it may mean that the Amelia reported as his wife in the 1850 census was that first wife, and not Amelia Brinsback Pinot, as it appears to us. Considerations: The details of Louiis' 1850 census record matches Amelia Brinsback Pinot, and no other record for 1850 or later appears in the name of Amelia Pinot until her burial in St Peter's Cemetery in New Gascony, Old Bogy Township, Jefferson County, Arkansas, the next township west of Old River (Arkansas Post) in Arkansas County. Dates on the burial of Amelia Gocio in the same cemetery report she died in 1858, while a separate entry under the name Amelia Pinot has no dates. It could very well be that these are two entries for the same person under each of her married names. No death records have been found for any of these, other than the dates given for most of them in the St Peters burials.

Newton R. Goggans Birth: Feb. 8, 1856 Death: Sep. 13, 1943 Husband of Martha Elvira ISRAEL Son of Andrew Jackson Goggans and Marcella GOLDEN Memories of a descendant: Grandpa (Newton R.) came to live with Minnie's family in the early 30's. He went back to Maud's in Nocona some. Ft. Washita is a museum now. It's 18 miles from Durant, OK. There is a cabin on the grounds at Ft. Washita. Mother said, as we visited Ft. Washita, that her dad, Maud and Willie lived in this cabin after she married. Maud married Jack York and he is buried on the grounds there at Ft. Washita. He was very dependent on Minnie. She seemed fond of him as he did her. We lived on a farm at Mead, OK. Mother cooked on a wood-burning cook stove and washed on a rub board. His health was fairly good. He sat on the porch by the hour as we lived on the highway. Living with an active family probably wasn't easy. We were active in church, school and community but he didn't go much nor do I remember him helping any with garden or farm chores. After the old age pension started he went into Durant and lived in a home there - a short time, but Minnie still cared for his needs. As his health deteriorated he came back to our house to live and was bed-fast. Maud came from Nocona at the time to help care for him. He died Sept. 1943 and was buried at Ravia beside Martha Elvira. Newton Ruben Goggans was born in Georgia around 1857. He and Martha Elvira had five children: Arthur who died at a young age, Mary Ethel Goggans WHITE, Minnie Lee Goggans BALLINGER, Maud Goggans YORK, and Willie.

Dandridge Death 1854 Norborne Parish, Berkeley, West Virginia [Virginia at the time] Burial Date 25 Mar 1854, Death Age 34 Marital Status: Married Spouse Name: P.P. Dandridge Note that the place oif death is reported as Norborne Parish, Berkeley, West Virginia. Berkely was the original county from which came the cuirrent three counties of Morgan, Berkely and Jefferson. In contrast, I have found that most genealogies report her death in Jefferson, Alexandria County, Virginia. I found that Jefferson is in Fairfax County, Virginia. Both these counties were in existence long before her birth and death. So I cannot explain why they report Jefferson as being in Alexandria County. But her death record reports she was in Western Virginia (now West Virginia), not in the east near DC, when she died. This seems to be due to a confusion of Jefferson County, Virginia (now West Virginia), with the town of Jefferson in Fairfax County, near Alexandria County. The 1850 census reports Philip and Caroline in Jefferson County, Virginia. This is in the section of Virginia that became West Virginia during the Civil War, just below the western edge of Maryland. Caroline's christening record reports that she was christened in Norborne Parish. This christening recored is in the records of modern Berkeley County, West Virginia, whose county seat is Martinsburg. And the place of christening is reporteed as Noirborne Parish, Berkely County, West Virgnia. Howevr information on the three counties in that area of West Virgnina refer to the Norborne Parish Church (now called St George's Chapel) as located in Jefferson County. The reconfiguration over the years led to subdividing of the original Anglican (Episcopal) parish and the counties of the region. "The Washington Heritage Trail speaks the history of the three counties: Jefferson County, Berkeley County and Morgan County. ... If one visits Jefferson County, the visitors will be thrilled to see Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, the Shenandoah Canal, the Morgan’s Grove Park that existed since 1775, the St. George’s Chapel, which was formerly known as Norborne Parish Church, and the Middle Historic District. For overnight stay, the Entler Hotel, which was said as a drill area for troops preparing for war, is accessible." -- Washington Heritage Trail, http://www.cityprofile.com/west-virginia/washington-heritage-trail.html The original area was Berkely County, which was later subdivided with the creation of Jefferson and Morgan Counties. "The county was created by an act of the House of Burgesses in February 1772 from the northern third of Frederick County (Virginia). At the time of the county's formation it also consisted of the areas that make up the present-day Jefferson and Morgan counties. Most historians believe that the county was named for Norborne Berkeley, Baron de Botetourt (1718-1770), Colonial Governor of Virginia from 1768 to 1770. West Virginia's Blue Book, for example, indicates that Berkeley County was named in his honor. ... On January 8, 1801, Jefferson County was formed out of the county's eastern section. Then, on February 9, 1820, Morgan County was formed out of the county's western section and parts of Hampshire County." -- "Berkeley County, West Virginia," Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_County,_West_Virginia
