The current McGoff name appears to have changed around the time of the U. S. Census of 1880. That census listed the name as McGough/McGoff. Interestingly, the previous census' do not list the McGough version.The MCGough/McGoff clan has been traced from an unknown origin in Ireland to Massachussetts, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Kansas and Colorado. James McGoff/McGough and Ann McGoff (Davis) were the first from Ireland between 1800 and 1860. Ellen c. Hines (gggrandmother) was born in Worcester, MA around 1830. Her parents, George and Ellen, appear to have left her with a family in Springfield, MA between 1830 and 1840. Both were from an unknown origin in Ireland.
The Hyde family information was provided via the internet by a long lost cousin. The Hyde family was traced back to 1632 by the long lost cousin. This information includes a possible connection to the Lee family of Virginia (distant cousin to Robert E. Lee at the time). The family line also lists one of Black Beard's pirates.
