St. Francis church is across from the cemetery, someone was there when we drove up but they left before we could get over there. I'm sure there is a record somewhere. I found a small Catholic cemetery in Spencer Co. KY that had one large stone with names of all the people who were burried there--no dates only names.

      > At the Goff-Gough gathering in VA I met a lady from Texas who was the only Gough relative at the gathering. She is 89 years old, very spry and has a better memory than mine. Anyway she is a descendant of James Gough Jr. the son of James III. I offered to help her fine the rest of her Goughs, she only had James Jr.
      >
      > Her line is as follows: She was born V. Merle Daniel, daughter of Jewel Daniel, son of Mary Penelope Gough, daughter of George Churchill Gough, son of James Gough Jr. son of James III, James II, James I, Stephen, and William Gough.

      > What proof do we have of the marriage of James III to Susanna Tarleton, the marriage of James II to Priscilla Heard, and the marriage of James I to Elizabeth Jarboe. Since this line is not mine I haven't any proof of these marriages. I don't want to give her any false information.

      > She never wrote to me after I sent her family tree to her. I don't think she was very pleased with me because I included her first name (Vera) and her age, she was born in 1916. She attended the meeting in Virginia 3 years ago and was very protective of her first name and age. I think she was 91 at the time.
