According to Louisa E. Goswick's nephew "John Goswick", (son of Louisa E.'s older brother Thomas) , John Goswick told his grandchildren that Louisa was first married to a Keith (divorced him) then married a Lanley and divorced him.  There was no mention of any children of Louisa  Goswick by either of her marriages.  Louisa is found living with her parents in 1870 and only one child listed as "John Walter Goswick" age 5 as Louisa's son.  It is this writers opinion that the three children listed as children of Louisa and Balus Lanley were probably his children by a previous marriage and not the children of Louisa Maria Goswick.  If those children were Louisa Maria Goswick Langley, then why were they not living with her in 1870? {kgk}

Charles Edward Goswick is the son of Henry Grady Goswick and Ethel Hammond Goswick.  Most of your
information was correct but Ethel Hammond Goswick did not die until April of this year.  Her birthday ws
April 5th and she died on April 4th.  She would have been 89 years old on April 5th.    She had been living
in Clarkesville, Georgia for the last number of years after she was widowed by her second husband, Karel
Braum.  She is buried in Crossroads Cemetery close to Dawsonville, Georgia, along with Henry Grady
Goswick and Karel Braum.  She and Henry Grady had three children but one died in infancy.  The other two
are Jessie Goswick Cannova and Charles Edward.  Jessie still lives in Clarkesville where she had lived with
her mother before her death.  Charles Edward lives in Atlanta.  Jessie was born November 1, l927 and
Charles was born November 28, 1929.

Henry Grady was the son of  John Walter Goswick and Julia Boggs.  He was one of eleven.  I tried to trace
back further but ran into a wall.  According to an aunt of Charles who is quite old (Fred Goswick's widow),
it was not known for sure whether John Walter's mother was married at the time of his birth..  I believe she
said that she had two sons but I am not sure.   Fred Goswick, Jr. is retired and lives in Dawsonville.  He is
much more informed than I.   I believe he has pictures of John Walter.  Fred Jr. is quite a colorful character
and he and his mother know much more than I do about the Goswicks.    Fred Sr.'s widow would only talk
about it in a whisper and said it was kind of a "family secret" about their grandmother!

Even though I am a Goswick only by marriage, I certainly appreciate all the hard work you have done.

Dear Kay, I just happened onto your site and was thrilled with the information on my family.  I am the only child of Charles Edward Goswick and Betty Carr Goswick.  My grandfather was Henry Grady Goswick of Dawsonville GA.  My name is Debra Goswick McLaughlin and I reside with my family in Lawrenceville, GA.  My father, Charles Edward, passed away on December 6th, 2000 and is buried in Cleveland, GA.  I have two children with my husband Joseph McLaughlin.  My daughter is Kelly McLaughlin Taylor and my son is Ryan McLaughlin.  Thank you for all the information on my family.  I would love to be kept up to date on any new info you might receive on the Goswicks in Dawsonville.  I was told that Julia, my great-grandmother, had a full Cherokee Indian mother and her father fought in the civil war.  That is all I really know about her.  Thanks again for your efforts.
     Sincerely, Debra Goswick McLaughlin

Hello,
I saw your website.  I am not related to Vesta but I am related to her husband William CRAWFORD and, of course, to his children.  I see Vesta in the Social Security death index
AURORA CRAWFORD 10 Jan 1902 Apr 1985 30534 (Dawsonville, Dawson, GA) (none specified) 260-68-6123 Georgia
and also in the GA death index
Name: Vesta G Crawford
Death Date: 29 Apr 1985
County of Death: Hall
Gender: F
Race: W
Age: 84 years
County of Residence: Dawson
Certificate: 016660
Date Filed: 10 May 1985
 
William Crawford, wife Vesta and three children (Claude, Audie, Maveous) are listed in the 1930 census The Rock, Upson County GA; ED 15.
She is also listed in the Dawson County Heritage Book.  The Heritage book states her three children were all daughters (Claudia, Audia, Maveous) but the 1930 census lists the two eldest children, Claude and Audie, as males.  The two were evidently twins, born about 1921.
Do you by chance know whether the twins were male or female?  (Or, I suppose, they could be one of each.)
Sorry, I do not know anything more about the children of William and Vesta.
 
Regards,
Rick Elliott
