Dear Wally,
Thanks for referencing my really old message.I have been on a genealogical hiatus of sorts to keep my brain from totally frying. :D
I am doing this for my three sons (Tackaberry).About 3 years ago, my oldest son took a trip to Kemptville and photograghed some old headstones in the cemetery there.Some of them were deteriorated beyond recognition so, I've been waiting for my ex-husband (my sons' father) to research the town/cemetery records to put names and dates on these Tackaberry headstones.
Meanwhile, my research is at a standstill.That said, I have some of the names of Benjamin Tackaberry marriages that you have listed - namely, Elizabeth Hayes and Elizabeth Rath.
I searched for Godkin in my database and came up empty.That's not to say the name shouldn't be there.I have a text file of a message posted right here entitled "Irish Tackaberrys 1656-1798".Have you seen it?Apparently, Mr. James Godkin of Kemptville Ontario supplied a lot of info regarding the progenitor of the Tackaberry family.There are a LOT of Tackaberrys buried in the Kemptville cemetery so he just might be tied in to the Tackaberrys somehow.If you haven't seen the message or can't find it, I have it saved as a text file that I can send you.The name "Fossy" (as a given name) is mentioned.
I have done a few family trees in my lifetime but this one has to be among the most difficult because of the many various spellings of the name - some of which hardly come close to resembling "Tackaberry".
Regarding the three Tackaberry girls you mention - do you have given names for these girls?
I will look forward to receiving your Tackaberry references. We just might find a connection there.
Regards....Dot
