Ephraim Goad's parents
have yet to be definitely identified although researchers feel that he
was a grandson of
Abraham Goad who lived in Anderson (from which Campbell County was
later formed) at the
appropriate time. Abraham was a son of John Goad of Bedford County,
Virginia. Abraham's
sister, Joanna, was the mother of John Sevier the first governor of
Tennessee. It seems probable
that Ephraim's father was Ayers Goad (born 1780 in VA & died 1855
in Green Co., IN) and
Edith. (This is how it is recorded in this record.) Possibly,
his parents could have been Ayres'
brother Joshua and Sally Smiddy. Both were sons of Abraham. Ephraim was
living in Campbell
County, Tennessee, in 1830 and was in Walker County, Georgia, in 1840.
Ken Haas in his THE
GOADS: A FRONTIER FAMILY, reports that Ephraim was in Hamilton County,
Tennessee, in 1840.
He was definitely in Walker County in 1850 when his name was recorded
as
"Gourd." By 1860, he was in Carroll County, Arkansas, where he settled
in the
Rudd/Piney Wood area. It is possible that he lived in the county just
to the south,
Madison County, Arkansas, since some Goads in that area knew him and
refered to him as
"Old Uncle Eph." In 1876, the Carroll County tax records list him as
being dead
with taxes unpaid. His estate was in probate court until 21 October
1884. A. G. Moore was
named as the administrator of his estate. Mr. Moore was to pay
Ephraim's heirs $21.12. He
paid $19.42 and the court discharged him from further duties.
Evidently, the remainder of
the sum represented the amount for Mr. Moore's wife, apparently a
daughter of Ephraim. His
burial site has not been located.
It is probable that he was married two
times. Their is
apparently a family tradition that Nancy was the fifth child of the
first wife. After her
mother's death, Nancy took care of the house until her father remarried.
