This is very interesting. It may be the Georgia connection. I'll search for the William Gothard in Georgia and see what I can find. The Rossville Library has quite a bit of genealogy info on Georgia and I'm not far from it. If anything, I can go down to LaFayette and check records. I've been told they have a pretty good genealogy department. Time permitting, I can do that.
I don't think I've seen any mention of what the C stood for in your John's name. Oh my gosh! I just remembered that my Great-aunt Willie had some old photos she said were of Gothard descendants in Rhea County. They weren't of my direct line though. My grandmother's half brother Ed Henderson married Mary Burchard, daughter of Hamilton Burchard and Jane Gothard. Jane's sister, Susan, is living with Ed and Mary in, I think, the 1900 census. This is your line isn't it? I can't remember who was in the photos, but there were several. I'll check and see if I have the photos scanned. If not, I'll have to call my Aunt Jean and have her borrow them from Aunt Willie and mail them to me.
As for the McKelvy, she is my gg-grandfather's sister, daughter of James Gothard and Susannah Lea/Lee.
Do you have the exact date of your John's death? Where he was buried? Obituary? If he was in Rhea county, they might have some type of record that would give his middle name. Let me know specifics and I'll see what I can find. I need to send you a file of what I have on the Gothards so you can fill in the blanks for your line. Not long after you had emailed me your file, my son crashed my computer and I lost everything. I hadn't backed up my genealogy file in two months :(. Now we have a PC for my son to use and he isn't allowed to use my Mac. Let me know on your John.
