      GOFF, EDMON, mw
      died Oct.25, 1922, C.D. 8
      Robert Goff, Tenn.
      Mariah Beecham, Tenn.
      Antioch Cemetery
      L. E. Webb

      There are other GOFFs in this cem., perhaps his children - Eugene GOFF (1933-1993) James Elick (1910-1934)

      Is this the same as the Edmund GAWF who married Sallie Ann who he deserted for an affair with Susan Niesler? See Edmund GAWF for info. I think so. His name is given as "Edmund GAWF, Jr." and he received land from Robert GAWF that borders Edmund GAWF.
      http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/misc/gm/gm5-08.html
      84-86. April 3, 1883
      SALLIE ANN GOFF v EDMUND GAWF, JR.
      The Court ordered that the one-half interest that Edmund GAWF, JR. had in two tracts of land be vested in SALLIE ANN GAWF. One tract, 200 acres was bounded on the north by STEPHEN HEFLEY, on the east by EDMUND GAWF, JR. and RILDEY CLIFTON, on the south by C. P. JONES and GEORGE W. GAWF, on the west by TYSON MANESS heirs; the other tract, 84 acres, bounded on north by MARTHA GAWF, on east by MARTHA GAWF and ERWIN GAWF, SR., on the south by RILDEY CLIFTON and EDMUND GAWF, JR. and on the west by STEPHEN HEFLEY. These tracts were owned by ROBERT GAWF and at his death descended to EDMUND GAWF, JR. and his siblings. If the legal fees were not paid within sixty days the Clerk and Master was ordered to sell this land to get them paid.

      (147. September 27, 1883
      This cause was revived and renewed.)
      283-284. September 27, 1884
      SALLIE ANN GOFF v EDMOND GOFF, JR. /heretofore spelled GAWF/
      The Clerk and Master sold 200 and 84 acre tracts in Civil District 12, Henderson County, to W. H. GOFF for $54 on August 24, 1884 and title to seine was vested in him. Proceeds ordered disbursed to "the parties entitled."
