Notes - Terry GOFF info an Genealogy.com
Rodica/Rhodica was my gggreat-grandfathers sister. Her brothers were Edmund S. (my gggreat-grandfather), James Henry, and Lewis (posibly Louis) She was born in 1809 and died 4/10/1886. Her father was William T. Goff 1740-1832 mother Sarah Scott 1762-1827
Rodica & Laurence are b. Sardis Cem. So are the following children of Henry GOFF: Amanda GOFF CLIMER, Margaret GOFF SINGLETON & Louis Franklin GOFF.
Since Laurence is b. TN, Rodica & he probably married in TN before b. of Emiline (ca 1831)
Can't find in 1830 so he's probably not a head of household so he and Rodica are probably not married and the male 15-20 is probably not a son.

The History of Scotts Hill, TN by Gordon Turner, p. 419
This family name has been known throughout this area almost from the very first settlement. Riley STANFILL (ex-Mayor of Sardis and a roofing contractor who will "fix a hole in your roof or make you a whole new roof?") furnished STANFILL information which will suffice for this brief note (As with many other names of course, references to this one are found in other parts of this book).
The old STANFILL Bible indicates that at least one STANFILL family - that of Isaac STANFILL - came into Hardin County at an early date and settled close to Cerro Gordo. He must have come by the Tennessee river route. Perhaps earlier STANFILLS had come from some European country to N. Car., for there were many STANFILLS (variously spelled STANFILL, STANFIELD, STANFILL, etc.) in our mother state during the 1700's.)
The Bible lists these children of pioneer Isaac STANFILL: Joseph, Thomas, William, Robert, Riley, Isaac Jr., Perry, Henry, Charlie, and Lawrence. Naturally, the famiiles of these as they married, scattered to many parts of the country, about many of whom we have no further information.
The above Lawrence STANFILL with his family, moved nearer us and settled in the Liberty community. It has been from them that many STANFILLS best known here have come. Some still live in that general area.
It was the (old) Riley STANFILL above who with his family moved from Hardin County to near Sardis. His full given name is not shown but if it were John Riley (STANFILL) he could have been the husband of Isabella AUSTIN, sister of first-settler Charles AUSTIN. She is known to have come here and her husband is listed in Henderson County records as one John STANFILL. (Such dates as are shown would fit the assumption that Isabella AUSTIN might have married a John Riley STANFILL.)
This Riley STANFILL and his wife - whether Isabella AUSTIN or not - were the progenitors of most STANFILLS who have lived around Sardis with some nearer Scotts Hill. Their children are shown as: Charlie, who married Dolly JONES; Isaac who married Sarah (Sally) FOSTER; John who never married, his name further indicating that he might have been named for his father (if the father's name was John Riley STANFILL); and Joseph who married Audrey DUCK, daughter of Frank DUCK; Emma (Mrs. Asa) MORRIS; Dora (Mrs. John) WILLIS; Nora (Mrs. Alias) WILLIS, Mattie (Mrs. Elijah) CLARK; and Nannie (Mrs. Fate) CONDER.
To bring STANFILLS down to current times, the parents of our Sardis Riley STANFILL were Joseph and Audrey DUCK STANFILL. Riley's wife is Gollen FLATT STANFILL, one of my best high school students here over 40 years ago. Their son, Wayne, former principal here and whose wife is Gailey PRESLEY STANFILL, is now Superintendent of Decatur County schools. Riley's brothers and sisters are: Mamie (Mrs. Vernon LANE, then Mrs. Everett JESTERS); Gordon (married Audrey ROGERS); Mabel (Mrs. Fred) CROOK; and Golie who married Mary Frances PHILIPS.
