From Pamela J. Marion:^[1]

T.J. was a farmer and a stock raiser. Owned 300 acres.

See Williamstown Courier Biography on T.J. - excellent (*84)

verified marriage cert - bondsman John F. Gooch

1850 Census lists 1st 3 children

1860 census lists all 7 children

biography notes that there 10 children of this marriage - must have been 3 who died in infancy. Have been unable to find any records to date of these children.

1880 census record

1900 census record, unindexed Dist 53 (Cordova) confirms TJ and Mary's DOB and that they have 7 children born and 4 children living.

Again, per biography of TJ - in his 2nd marriage he had 7 children, 4 who lived, but I have no record of who the other 3 children were or what happened to them. Census of 1900 confirms this as true. All together he has 6 un-named children who must have died in very early childhood between his two wives.

Verified Mary Fitch's buried record, as well as T.J's buried record.

from "All of the Above": ...the most locally prominent was T.J. ("Uncle Jeff") Gouge, a local farmer and sometime hotelier in Williamstown and the father of seventeen children.

While processing relationships in the gedcom some additional information was found which may be relevant.
