I am now on the board for the DAR for 2 yrs. It is my way of paying back their help. Anyway, I put my mother and my daughter as members and charles gough as their ancestor. Let me know if you want a copy of the lineage I used and the DAR numbers for your reference. Sandy

"He was taken a prisoner at Elizabethtown". He was also in the battle of Mammoth and Brandywine. One of these battles was just before Valley Forge and the other was after. Which leaves me to believe he was at Valley Forge

Being sick and low in health, etc.
First I will to my beloved wife Mary Gough my plantation as long as she lives. And at her death to be sold and equally divided among all of my children. I also desire that my son Ignatius live on the place and take care of his mother as long as she lives if they can agree but no longer then they can agree.
Item two, I also will to my wife one bed and as much furniture as she may want for her bed.
Item three, I will to my daughter Julia my gray mare and yearling colt mare then the rest of my children.
Item four all, the rest of my property to be sold and equally divided among all of my children.
My reason for leaving Julia more then the rest is for services she has rendered to the family.
Item five, I will to my son Isadore a small piece of my land where he now lives to run up the branch where the old still house stands to include the rock spring and then in such a direction as to miss the cleared land and strike the Lancaster line.

Mike: I forgot to post the date, 1788, for this tax entry in Nelson County.
I also found Charles Goff on the Nelson County Tax List - first time? living in the Hardins Creek and Cartwrights Creek area with 2 tithables including one black, along with a Baptist Goff nearby. List taken by John Caldwell - Capt Gilkey's and Capt Caldwell's Cos [Companies] I believe that only males over 16 were tithable.
