Descendants of William Gough
Generation 3 and 4

4. WILLIAM ROBERT³ GOUGH , JR. (WILLIAM ROBERT², WILLIAM¹) was born March 19, 1764 in GA. (birth in GA according to the 1880 Lamar Co., TX census from his son Asher Shelton Gough), and died December 1820 in Butler Co., KY. He married RHODA SHELTON 1794 in Logan Co., KY, daughter of JEREMIAH SHELTON and NANCY ASHER. She was born May 23, 1774.

Notes for WILLIAM ROBERT GOUGH , JR.:

Regarding the birth state as Georgia.....Georgia was not even a state until 1777. I believe we should begin looking in Maryland for the first GOUGH lines, mainly because of clues found in an old genealogy written in a letter to his children by descendant Judge Lysius Gough in 1934. More on this letter will be entered at a later date. Certainly the Virginia records will hold more clues than anything we could find in early Georgia records, but more research needs to be done here.

WFT Vol. 3 #392 has a middle name for Wm. Gough. This tree follows the GOUGH line for 4 generations, starting with William Robert Gough who married Judith TAYLOR.

1810 Butler Co., KY census (from USGenWeb site):

GOUGH, Jonathan - 0 0 0 1 1 1; 0 1 0 0 0 0

GOUGH, William - 5 0 0 0 1 1; 1 0 1 0 0 0

In a book compiled by Raymond DeWeese (1992) The County of Butler in the Commonwealth of KY 1810-1814 Taken from Order Book A & Circuit Court Order Books A & B", page B-16: (1812) William Gough came to Court and requested that he be discharged from paying the County Levy, citing his inability to do so. The Chairman said, "The court is satisfied with your explanation, and orders that you be excempt from paying the Levy and that it be certified."

Some of this family information was provided by the FTM homepage of Steve L Smoot, Email address - [email protected].

Ruth A. Hunt of Metropolis, IL provided a group sheet in Goffs/Goughs newsletter (found in Dallas Public Library). She adds to the above information: Jesse m. Mary Ann Leeman; William m. Rozah (Rispa); Asher d. 1844/5; Mary Ann m. James C. Tones; Nancy m 22 Mar 1836 Jesse LEE; Anna m. Joseph Taylor 06 Feb. 1821 & she d. bef. 1838. Found on the 1850 Daviess Co., KY census on page 442 is Jesse LEE 1 year old, living with Andrew P. TAYLOR 33yrs b. KY and Sarah A. Taylor 29 b. KY (unknown if connected to the family of Nancy Gough and Jesse Lee who m. 1836). A William Gough is found on page 363 in Daviess Co., KY 1850, house 254, 33 years old b. KY, wife Mildred 25, children: James S. 8, Mary J. 6, Mary E. 4, William T. 2, Jospeh 5, James Gough 65 b. KY (?).

There is one William Gough who served as an infantry soldier in the Rev. War from VA.

Notes for RHODA SHELTON: Her birth date of May 23, 1774 comes from E-mail sent by Jim & Gail Gough who sent a copy of a genealogy report written by a descendant of Lysius Gough.

1830 Graves Co., KY Census, District of Kentucky, p. 289:
Shelton, Jonathan - 100110000; 200010000; 0; 6
Gough, Rody - 001120000; 000200010; 0; 7
Gough, Hariet - 00000000; 000010000; 3; 4

A deed from Wm. Gough's heirs dated Sep 1837 says that she sold a tract of land on Little Sandy Creek to John Pepper. Heirs who signed the deed were Rhody Gough (widow of Wm. Gough Jr.), Eli Gough, William Gough, Joseph Taylor, Jerrymer (sic) Gough, James Jones and Mary his wife, Jesse J. LEE and Nancy his wife, Asher Gough, Jessee Gough and Mary Ann his wife, Judith Gough of Butler Co., KY. Jeremiah Gough was the agent and signed the deed. The deed was certified by Jeremiah Gough, Jr. and John Pepper and acknowledged by Jeremiah Gough and Jesse J. LEE on 02 Sep 1839 in Butler Co., KY. Before leaving the Sandy Creek area, she and William were members of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church per Ken Shelton. In Graves Co., KY, she was a member of the Spring Creek Church of Christ outside of Symsonia, KY. Rhoda lived with her son William Gough on the 1850 Graves Co., KY census, listed on page 397, house 451. Jeremiah Gough 42 b. KY lives in house 450, with Eli Gough 46 KY, and Ewing Gough 5 b. KY. Ken Shelton says she is buried in the Gough Family Cemetery, Symsonia, Graves Co., KY.

• 8. i. ISAAC⁴ GOUGH, b. February 11, 1795.

• ii. FRANCIS GOUGH, b. Abt. 1797; d. Bef. 1830, married Joseph Taylor 06 Feb 1821..

• 9. iii. ANN GOUGH, b. May 04, 1800, Butler Co., KY; d. Bef. 1850.

• iv. JOSHUA GOUGH, b. April 12, 1801, Butler Co., KY; d. July 1830. He m. Harriett Oates Dec. 24, 1829 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.

Notes for JOSHUA GOUGH: According to Ken Shelton's book, "The Shelton Trek Across Kentucky", page 39, Joshua Gough was born in Butler Co., KY. He was located on the 1823 Hickman Co., KY Tax List and the 1824 Graves Co., KY list. In 1824, he is over 21 and has 1 horse, but no land. He was named in William Gough's estate papers as receiving his share. Steve Lawrence wrote that he located Joshua Gough on the 1830 Real & Personal Property Tax List in Graves Co., KY. He paid taxes on 320 acres of land valued at $1000. Initially Rhoda Gough was administrator of Joshua's estate, but evidently Eli Gough quickly took it over. It appears that Joshua's 320 acres were sold around 1833-34, but that his estate had some town lots in Mayfield that show up as late as 1840 - in that year William R. Gough was administrator of the estate. Joshua's widow, Harriett Oates Gough was listed on the 1830 Graves Co., KY census as head of the household - no children. She remarried June 22, 1832 in Muhlenberg Co., KY to Robert Randolph.

• v. ELI GOUGH, b. June 15, 1803, Butler Co., KY.

Notes for ELI GOUGH: From Ken Shelton's book, "The Shelton Trek Across Kentucky", page 39 - Eli Gough was born 1804 in Butler Co., KY. He is listed on the 1824 Graves Co., KY Tax List. In 1850 he lived with his brother Jeremiah W. Gough. He is on the 1860 KY census, listed as 56 years of age, still living with his brother Jeremiah W. GOUGH. Linda (Susie) Patton wrote in June 2000 that she had seen material on the Internet regarding Eli's divorce from Synia PRYOR, whom he divorced 13 Feb 1837 in Graves Co., KY., and had heard family stories regarding this divorce.

13. xi. NANCY SHELTON GOUGH, b. February 15, 1813.

5. ABIGAIL³ GOUGH (WILLIAM ROBERT², WILLIAM¹) was born Abt. 1779-1782, and died Aft. 1845 in KY? (Source: Birth and death information from WFT Vol. 13 #2073. Also, Steve Lawrence wrote in May 2000 that he found a reference - not verified - in the Biographical Review of Johnson, Massac, Pope and Hardin Counties, Illinois, pg. 464 listing her date of death date as 1852.) She married THOMAS LAWRENCE October 19, 1802 in Logan Co., KY, son of HENRY LAWRENCE and ELIZABETH STANLEY.

Notes for ABIGAIL GOUGH: Abigail was still alive on 15 Sep 1840, when she signed for $286.89 as her dowry from the estate of Thos. L Signed with an "X". Steve Lawrence wrote that he has a copy of this document. The following also comes from Steve: Abigail does not appear on the 1840 Census for Butler County as a separate household. She may appear on the 1840 census with Stephen and Susan Step ?? which lists an older female (need to confirm this - info is from Barbara Lawrence). Abigail's children had mostly left the county. Stephen Step was possibly farming Thomas' property after he married Susan Lawrence, reflected by the fact that he bought all the parcels of this property distributed to survivors in 1851 (as well as the census info). This is in an Indenture of 1851, which says this land was patented 8 Sep 1815 on the Big Muddy Creek, Butler Co. (Source: Deed Book?, pg. 593 for 1851). However, I think it is the same 200 acres he had all along - evidently it took several years to get the lines straightened out. Abigail appears in Butler Co. tax lists (no record for 1836?) for 1837, 1839, 1840, and 1842 - 1845, usually with 250 and sometimes 280 acres on either Meadow Branch or the Big Muddy River. (Information is courtesy of Don Fletcher).

Notes for THOMAS LAWRENCE: From "Logan Co., KY Deed Abstracts" Deed Book A, page 302 - Indenture dated 13 Dec 1804 between Thomas Gough and Thomas Lawrence, $100 paid, 50 acres on Meadow Branch of Big Muddy Creek. Signed also by Fanny Gough..witness: Jonathan Gough, David Howard, Reuben Dougherty. An interesting item in the GOFF/GOUGH newsletters: Vol VII #2, p43, article on the Northern Neck of Early Va. ... 25 Sep 1663, Robert LAWRENCE, Jr received 650 ac for the transportation of 13 persons, including Jno GOFFE...(unknown if any connection at this time). Steve Smoot lists these children on his FTM homepage: Elizabeth Lawrence m. Ralph Shelton September 16, 1822 in Butler Co., KY; Jane A. Lawrence m.

Notes for REUBIN DAUGHERTY: Located on the 1820 Butler Co., KY census: #71 Doughety Rubin - 30010; 01010; 00. In Logan Co. KY., Reuben bought 100 ac, 1804, from Thomas & Fanny Gough. WFT Vol. 19 #1590 says that Owen Daugherty and Mary Taylor m. c1759 in Craven Co., NC. A list of their children is included on that tree, but not copied here. Mary Taylor's parents, according to this same tree, were Robert and Catherine TAYLOR. Robert Taylor was born 13 Oct 1709 in Baltimore, MD and he married Catherine Unknown c1728 in Craven Co., NC. Reubin's parent's names were also provided on the Internet homepage of Steve L. Smoot, Email [email protected].

Notes for JESSE GOUGH: Jesse and William GOUGH are on the census, page 105 in Graves Co., KY by 1840: 0000001 - 21001 (male is 40/50 years old). Jesse is found on the 1850 Graves Co., KY census, page 394. Steve Lawrence sent the 1860 census, 1860 Graves Co Census: GOUGH...Household # 1636, Jesse 56 KY farmer, Mary A. 47 KY, Emily O. 18 KY, Asher G. 16 KY, Nancy 12 KY, Martha R. 7 KY. Ken Shelton wrote about Jesse, page 40, of "The Shelton Trek Across Kentucky". He named Jesse's wife. He had a daughter named Amanda J. Gough who died in Johnston Co., IL, Nov. 1852, so Jesse might be found on the Illinois census. Updated family information (June 2000) comes from Linda (Susie) Patton. She sent a family tree for this line. A few of her details were different from what I had gathered: she has Jesse GOUGH's date of birth as 1804, not 1805; the date of death she provided was 08 Nov 1871. She did add data for Mary Ann LEEMAN: born 01 March 1812 in KY., died 31 August 1867 in Ripley Co., MO.

On the 1840 KY census, in Graves County there is also a GOUGH, Henry........00001 - 20001, but I do not know which family to whom he belongs.

Ken Shelton said in his book "The Shelton Trek Across Kentucky", page 40, that this is William Roland Gough, who is buried in the Gough Family Cemetery, Symsonia, Graves Co., KY., who married Rispah/Rozah E. White.

13. NANCY SHELTON⁴ GOUGH (WILLIAM ROBERT³, WILLIAM ROBERT², WILLIAM¹) was born February 15, 1813. She married JESSE J. LEE March 22, 1836 in Butler Co., KY.

Notes for NANCY SHELTON GOUGH: Per FTM homepage of Steve L. Smoot: Nancy Shelton Gough was born 2/15/1813 in KY. While he does not give her husband's name, he shows her children to have the surname of LEE: E. A. Lee b. c1827 KY; L. W. Lee b. c1831 KY; M. J. Lee b. c1834 KY; T. S. Lee b. c1836 KY; S. A. Lee b. c1838 KY; and M. M. Lee b. c1843 KY. Mr. Smoot later added this information:

26. Nancy Shelton⁴ Gough (William³, William², 1) was born February 15, 1813 in Kentucky. She married Jesse "James" Lee March 22, 1836 in Butler County, KY. The minister who married them was A. TAYLOR. The male's age was sworn to by A. SHELTON (Asher? or Abednigo?). Some of the children Mr. Smoot has here could not be Nancy Shelton Gough's children according to the ages he has given. Supposed children of Nancy Gough and Jesse Lee are:

59 i. E. A.⁵ Lee, born Abt 1827 in Kentucky.

60 ii. L. W. Lee, born Abt 1831 in Kentucky.

61 iii. M. J. Lee, born Abt 1834 in Kentucky.

103 i. W. Salaam⁶ Lee, born Abt 1857.

104 ii. Sarah E. Lee, born Abt 1858.

105 iii. John T. Lee, born Abt 1859.

Steve Lawrence wrote in Feb. 2004 that Jesse J. Lee may have moved to Pulaski Co., MO and was possibly the one listed on the 1840 census there: 000010000; 200010000 (2 girls -5, 1f20/30 & 1m20/30). Steve sent the following also:
"In Butler Co., Ky Deed Book D, p 433-34: 1838, 100 ac on waters of Grassy Lick Creek, branch of Big Muddy Creek, from the heirs of William GOUGH, dec'd to Lov't P WHITNEY. Heirs named were Eli & Jesse GOUGH, Joseph TAYLOR for Judith GOUGH, William & Asher GOUGH, all of Graves Co., Ky. James C JONES & Mary Ann his wife, of Calloway Co., Ky and Jesse LEE & his wife Nancy, of Butler Co., Ky." (G&G newsletter VIII, 3, p69)

It appears that Nancy Gough Lee may have died prior to 1850 - if this is the correct LEE:

Notes for ASHER S. GOUGH: Ken Shelton wrote that he found, in the Butler County Record Books, an appointment of Rhoda Gough as guardian of Asher S. Gough, recorded 1820. He is named in his father's estate settlement. He was located on the 1841 Graves Co., KY Tax List as over 21, but with no land.

Some information was gathered from Steve Smoot's homepage (Internet). However, a more correct version comes from a descendant of this line, June Scripps, who provided the correct names for Asher's spouses and children. June wrote that Asher Gough was a Christian preacher and a farmer. He moved his family to Texas in 1857. His first wife, Martha Elizabeth had died 04 Jan 1846 in Mayfield, KY. June wrote that Asher died from cancer, and that his second wife, Elizabeth N. Ashley was born 27 Sep 1826 KY, died 20 Aug 1899.

Notes for ELIZABETH LAWRENCE: From "Goffs/Goughs" newsletters (Dallas Public Library): In the will of Jesse GOUGH, recorded in Butler Co., KY Will Book A, p. 119, dated 01 Mar 1834, Jesse bequeathed to each of his brothers & sisters who may be living on his death, one dollar each & no more. To Elizabeth Shelton, widow of Ralph Shelton dec'd, he gave the tract of land on which he currently lived containing 125 acres and all his furniture, livestock, and other property. After her death, he wished that all his property and money would be equally divided among the children of Ralph SHELTON. Ken Shelton said that Jesse Gough's land adjoined that of Thomas Lawrence.

Notes for RALPH N. SHELTON: Ralph was the clerk of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church after his marriage in 1822 (per Ken Shelton). Pictured here is the grandson of Ralph and Elizabeth, left to right: Curran Ralph Shelton, daughter Mabel, and wife Annie MAYHUGH.

17. REBECCA⁴ SHELTON (NANCY ANN³ GOUGH, WILLIAM ROBERT², WILLIAM¹) was born Abt. 1806 in KY, and died November 1868 in TX (Source: Death date from Steve L. Smoot FTM homepage .). She married GEORGE MCKENNEY February 07, 1826 in Butler Co., KY, son of JAMES MCKENNEY and SARAH UNKNOWN.

Notes for REBECCA SHELTON: Carolyn Shannon Genzel, of Arthur City, TX Email address [email protected], in an Email post dated Oct. 24, 1997, said that Rebecca Shelton McKenney died Nov. 1868 in TX. She sent notes from "The Shelton's and Descendants" by Barbara Jean Fleury Sullivan, 1989. She died Nov. 1868, a faithful member of the Christian Church. She was rational up to the moment of her death, and asked her friends to sing the song ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS I STAND, and joined in the singing as long as strength lasted. She said to her children who gathered around her death-bed, "be faithful unto death". She was happily married and blessed her husband with 4 sons. She was thoroughly versed in the Bible, and was always prepared to talk on the subject of religion, in which she had deep experience. She was a woman of powerful native intellect. The precepts and examples of her and her noble and honored husband have had such a deep and abiding influence on the minds and lives of their 4 sons that not one of them ever uttered an oath of profanity, wagered to the amount of one cent, or drank a dram of ardent spirits as a beverage; nor did their influence stop here, but cast a halo over the entire community in which they lived that was seen and felt by all for good." It sounds as though she lived her life as her minister father, Abednigo Shelton, preached and not as he "did".

Notes for GEORGE MCKENNEY: Carolyn Shannon Genzel, of Arthur City, TX [email protected], wrote in an Email post Oct. 24, 1997, that Rebecca Shelton McKenney died Nov. 1868 in TX, and that she and George McKenny had four children: Shelton Abednigo, Jesse Shadrach, Bedford Meshac, and William Woodford McKenney. Carolyn provided the dates and information on Shelton Abednigo and his spouse. She added that George McKenney was a native of KY, son of James McKenney of VA and Sarah. George was a stock raiser in KY. He moved to MO, then by 1861 to TX, settling in Denton County where he died in 1863. He was an elder in the Christian Church. On the 1840 Butler Co., KY census taken off the KY section of USGenWeb, Bednigo Shelton and George McKinney are neighbors, both found on page 394.
