Meredith,
I am very interested in your research. I am also part of the Goldey Family. I come down thru the Tilford GOldey branch. I am on the branch of Nellie Goldey Wiggs. I am very curious of the findings you have mentioned. I am a big believer in the "paper trail" of our research. I, too, have heard the familyhistory of James Gouldy and Rebecca Smith being the parents of Henry Gouldy but do we have this in writing or just from hearsay? I have talked with some of the people that go to the reunion and they do not have the info on paper only that they had heard it from here or there. I would love to be able to find this out. I have also heard that our branch may have landed in Va. I do have a copy of the ship records bringing a William Goldey to Va. in 1775. I have a copy of the marriage of James To Rebecca. But do we know for sure the parentage of the Henry that married Mary Farmer. I also have the marriage record of Henry and Mary Farmer. Are there any census records you have placing James in Virginia? I cannot find these records. I guess I will have to make another trip to Virginia to find these records. I know he was there because of his marriage records there. I also wanted to know where the info came from on James' birth year and place? Was this found somewhere or hearsay again? But does anyone know of a will or other records listing his children? Hopefully we can answer these questions together. I have info on this family, but mine is from cemetery waling and book research. It has only been recently I have started to use a computer. That is how I have found some many different stories to the same family. Thanks for the help.
Juanita
