Some early land deeds from your bro-- John -- lots of tedious readings with the actual documents. So we FIRST find John in Athens Co, OH in 1822 and last find mention of him in Athens Co in 1840

John Goosick on Athens Co., tax roll 1825, 1827

1. Twp. 12 range 15 Section 34 Fraction # 12 - SW corner ( I am unfamiliar with fraction # in land deeds)-- 60 acres
John Goosic bought land Sept 6, 1822 from Rheuben and Rachel HURLBURT for $120 in York township, Athens County, Ohio. In township twelve in range 15 Section 34 in the Ohio Company purchase containing 60 acres being the Southwest corner of Fraction # 12 to the ---- of Peter ?--- ner land------. appraised at $350.  Book 5 pages 93,94,95

2. Twp. 12 Range 15 Section 33/34 Fraction 8 (NW 1/4) 65 acres
Daniel Nelson to John Goosack, York Township County of Athens
state of Ohio. Sum of one hundred sixty dollars a parcel of land in York Township 65 acres from the north west quarter of fraction 8 in town 12, range 15 and sections 33 and 34. Set my hand @ seal this 3rd day of December 1832. Bk  6 page 589/590

Twp. 12, Range 15, Section 33/34 Fraction # 8--southside, (NW 1/4) 60 acres
Athens Co., Ohio Deed Bk. 9 page 326. John Goosic of York township in the county of Athens for the sum of one (?) hundred dollars paid by William Goosic of said York Twp... grant a certain tract of land sixty acres -- the southside fraction No 8,  Range 15, Section 33 and 34 as section33@34 thirty three and thirty four as conveyed from Nelson to me bearing date 3 day of December 1832.
1832 ----- Margaret Goosic wife of the said John Goosic--------we the said John Goosic and Margaret Goosic  have set our hands and seals on this April 14, 1838
--------John Goosic and Margaret his wife  Vol 9  page 326

Twp. 12 Range 15, Section 33/34 (NW 1/4, southside), Fraction # 8-- 60 acres
Oct. 11, 1841 estate of William Goosic deceased, county of Athens and state of Ohio. The south side of the Nw quarter of fraction 8 in town twelve in range 15 in sections 33 and 34 in the Ohio Company purchase containing 60 acres of land

The intestate at his death left ANDREW GOOSIC  and Eve Goosic (formerly) now Eve Thompson wife of Richard THOMPSON , his heirs at law and legal representatives. Your petitioner prays that the said Andrew Goosic, Richard Thompson and Eve his wife be made defendants to this petition to sell said real estate to pay debts of this estate.
Afterwards at March term 1842, it was noted that Andrew, Richard and Eve refused to answer the above summons so the property was ordered to be sold. it was appraised by William Nanna, Jeremiah Thompson and Jonathan Connett.
This property was brought up for sale at each court meeting. It was reappraised in 1850 for $101. It was finally sold at the door of the courthouse at public auction March 4, 1851 to Thomas Watkins for $180.
This looks like the end of the line for this piece of land in the Goosic family
Note: Why was his father not mentioned as a legal representative. Also notes that he left no children but this was incorrect.

3. Twp. 10 Range 15 Section 33/34 (SW 1/4) Fraction # 8
3-19-1838 Land deed John Shannon to William Goosic.  Athens Co. Ohio
Court of Common Pleas for the county of Athens and state of Ohio. Vol 9 page  327

Same as above but south part
April 14, 1838 William Goosic to Andrew Goosic, all of Athens Co., Ohio for $400 being 60 acres  from the Southwest quarter of fraction No 8, Township 10, Range 15 in Section 33 and 34 being the south part of the land deeded to me by John and Lucinda Shannon on 3-19-1838. Vol 9  page 328

July 21, 1840 Andrew Goosic to John Goosic both of York Twp., county of Athens, state of Ohio for the sum of $400, 60 acres of land from the Southwest quarter of fraction No 8, Township 10, Range 15 in Section 33 and 34 being the south part of the land deeded to me by John and Lucinda SHANNON on 3-19-1838. Volume. 10 page 345

Looks like Shannon deeded land to both William and Andrew on 3-19-1838. OR how did Andrew get the portion that he sold to John? Sounds as if there was a north part deeded to them also.   This was in Lee Twp., Athens Co. So what did John do with this piece of land
