Jack Goodman is age 13 and living with Franklin Olliff's Family, Franklin Olliff (abt.1830-), in the 1870 census. He is a young black male and it is only a few years after the end of the civil war. When looking at the 1870 census I see no families around the area with the name Goodman.
The 1880 census shows a black male with the same name and the right age, 23, in the same county in Georgia. So seems to be the same person. Here he is listed as living in the household of a white woman, Atosso Theresa (Brannen) Cone and her children as a laborer.
Notes
Both the 1850[1] and 1860[2] slave schedules show two Goodman slave owners, John Goodman and Sarah Goodman, in Bulloch, Georgia. One of these may be the source of Jack’s last name of “Goodman”.
