The time has come. I have come to a stopping place on the research on Philip Goss IV and Mary Kendall and am now starting to write about Philip’s ancestors, his father Philip Goss III and mother Keziah Cooley.
I refer you to the blog on WordPress titled: Solomon Goss of Fearing Twp. in Ohio https://sgossfamily.wordpress.com.
As I write the posts, I will incorporate this blog Massachusetts Meanderings into the posts about Philip Goss III and Keziah Cooley. Timeframe 1700 to about 1745.
Later as I progress, I will also cover Philip Goss II and his wife Judith Hayward. This line leads to Mayflower. Timeframe 1675 to 1748.
Following that I will write about Philip Goss I and his two marriages first to Hannah Hopkins and second to Mary Prescott. There will be scandal, court issues and more. Timeframe 1650 to 1698.
As I do this I will incorporate more of this blog Massachusetts Meanderings blog into these posts and it will make more sense.
When I finally reach the end of what this blog Massachusetts Meanderings covered it will be turned into a PDF of the blog posts and there will also be a table of contents to aid you in finding information. Please do not post anything online from this for it is my work and my efforts. If you ask my permission I will probably be open to your request.
Go here to see the page on the Solomon Goss blog that I have prepared for this with some information of value: https://sgossfamily.wordpress.com/massachusetts-meanderings-trip-april-2011-overview/
I suggest that you copy and print any posts on this Massachusetts Meanderings blog and file on your computer or somewhere for safekeeping. I will let you know when the change will take place. It will be awhile for it will take time to write and present the three Philip Goss’s that are of our line of the Goss Family.
Updated links will be added to the Solomon Goss blog from this blog to help you find those archives and sources.
On the Solomon Goss Blog you will find Table of Contents of the posts written on what are called static PAGES. They are at the top of the blog usually under the picture and also on the PAGE Menu on the right side panel for you to find for each family grouping. I have one set up for Philip Goss III and Keziah Cooley.
This will be a BIG project and will take hopefully a good year but maybe more to cover the material. As the research goes back in time it gets harder to do. I may make mistakes and remember that genealogy is always evolving and changing. I am open to comments and help but please keep it on topic and be kind. Making comments on the post written helps others to learn and grow.
