John Calvin Lunsford is my great great grandfather.I've learned the following oral history passed on to me by my aunt some 15 years ago:
John Calvin Lunsford was a drummer boy in the Civil War.He was originally from Georgia.After the war he worked for the railroad laying track.When he was working in Horse Branch, KY he met and married Narcissis Ford and settled in the area.Their son (I don't know if they had any other children), John Calvin Lunsford, my great grandfather married Barbara Sandefur.Their daughter, Velsie Lunsford (May 28, 1901 - June 23, 1965), my grandmother, married Bert Goodwine (December 11, 1902 - June 25, 1984).My father is James Goodwin (the e was left off his name by accident on his birth certificate).
Just started doing some genealogical research recently.Will keep you posted on any additional information.
