My ggg grandfather was Benton Goodson, s/o Samuel & Sarah. I found them living in Raleigh Co.,in the 1860
census. But something happened to them before 1870. The family was split up, I found Floyd Goodson, brother of
Benton on a Graham farm, working as a laborer. And I cant find a trace of the rest of the family, until 1880. On the
1880 census, for kanawha Co.,WV.,Benton is living with his mothers sister. Jacob Spangler and Ruth (Graham)
Spangler, from Floyd Co. Benton is 21, and listed as their nephew. Are their any Goodsons, related to this family
