      My wife and I went to a wedding reception in Owensboro and on the way up from Nashville we stopped in Morganfield to visit St. Ann's cemetery, where my parents are buried. Near by we saw several Gough tombstones:
      Burton A. Gough, wife Mary U. and daughter Jewell T.
      William B. Gough, wife Ruby M. and son Russell
      John G. Gough (1833-1913 and wife Lillie H. (1858-1933). These are not in the data base you sent me, the first two families are.
