Re: John and Susan America Goben/James and Catherine Gobi(e)n

Glad to hear from you. James is most likely a cousin of John Goben Jr. ( of John and Susan America Goben ) My GGGrandfather John did not have a son, James. James is likely the son of John Sr ( according to tax rolls John Sr. was also in Union County for the 2 years when James and Caroline Harris Slaton (her 2nd marriage) were married there).It is possible to trace James' father John Sr. through tax records, first in Jefferson Co. then in Union Co. along with my John Jr. Other than that, your information is correct. Another interesting bit of information is the Susan America was also a Harris before her marriage. If I can be of further help, please let me know.
