Hello Pamela;
I saw your query on the GOUGE GenForum and think I may have some info for you.Although I don't have decisive proof, I believe Reuben GOUGE was the son of Lazarus & Elizabeth BURLESON GOUGE.I have extensive data on the GOUGE family in the Toe River Valley, and there is no other Reuben who seems to be the right age to have a son in 1887.Do you have birth and death dates for your ancestor Reuben?
Lazarus GOUGE was the son of Joel & Minerva PHILLIPS GOUGE.If you think this may be your ancestor, let me know.My e-mail address is [email protected] can send you some more info, but here is a bit about the family of Lazarus and Elizabeth.I would love to have info on your GOUGE line, especially the children of Reuben and Martha, with their birth & death & spouse info.
