I tried to place these in a geographic area, but because these families
moved so much and I did not cross post these it might be a good idea to
use your "find" search in your browser. In netscape it is located in Edit

"The Francis Redfern Family...." by Louisa
Redfern Pells. There are a
great number of Goldsborough names listed. You might want to
search
for the book and buy it. It is out of print but there are copies
around on the Internet.
Historical Note: Goldsboro (originally spelled Goldsborough), county
seat of Wayne County, North Carolina, info from THE HERITAGE OF WAYNE COUNTY
NORTH CAROLINA 1982; Coordinater Mary Daniels Johnstone; published by Wayne
County HIstorical Association Inc. and Old Dobbs County Genealogical
Society; Goldsboro North Carolina, 1982: "Goldsborough's origins can also
be traced to the railroad depot, established about 1836 and named Goldsborough
Station in honor of Matthew T. Goldsborough, assistant engineer for the
Wilmington and Weldon Railraod. The spelling of the town remained consistent
with that of the Goldsborough family until about the Civil War, when the
shorter spelling was generally adopted.During the period about the mid-nineteenth
century abbreviated spellings were popular, and many towns and cities had
their names shortened."

My records of the Ulam family show John Ulam, born Maryland 1816, died
1867, married to Julianna Goldsboro, born 1818, no death date. Julianna
is reported to have been born in Georgia, and a nephew was Governor and
U. S. Senator from Maryland. Their children: David Weddell Ulam, Emma Ulam,
Phoebe A. Ulam, Julia Ulam, Margaret Ulam and Milton Ulam.
This family settled in Westmoreland Co.,Pennsylvania. Several descendants
presently reside in Warren, Ohio. I have no details on Julianna Goldsboro's
parents or siblings.

The above mentioned Goldsberry family are my ancestors. John "Jacob"
Goldsborough born abt. 1847 who married Jennie Anderson (born abt.
1852) about 1870 probably around the Connellsville/Scottdale PA area. They
had 3 girls and one boy. Mid 1800's folks were in the Scottdale (Westmoreland)
and Connellsville (Fayette) AND the surrounding areas .... in late 1800's
- early 1900's they traveled to Pittsburgh/Carnegie area.
I went back and listened to some tapes that I recorded of my grandmother
while she was alive. I heard her say ... Goldsboroughs were in Pennsylvania
years ago. They fought in every war that US has been in. Government
gave Goldsborough's property in Scottdale for fighting in revolutionary
war. Goldsborough NC was named after Goldsborough's.
We don't know anything about Jacob's family, but were given information
that he owned (maybe he worked there) a coke oven (s). The rest of his
life he was a general farmer and possibly was in the military before or
at he beginning of his marriage. Jacob and Jennie were together long enough
to have four children:
Dela Gertrude
known as "Gert or Gertie" was born in Scottdale about 1873
Harry born
in Scottdale about 1875
Cora "Belle"
born in Scottdale about 1876
Ada born
in Scottdale about 1878
None of their children had children of their own except for Belle
and she only had one daughter b. in 1898 in Scottdale. So that means that
there was only ONE grandchild for Jacob and Jennie Goldsborough. Jacob
and Jennie eventually divorced guessing after Ada was born. I do have photos
of him as he was older, so they must have stayed in touch after divorcing
Harry was in the Spanish-American war and married a lady who had already
had children from a previous marriage. As far as I know he did not father
any children.
All of these folks ended up moving to Pittsburgh or surrounding area.
Jacob GOLSBOROUGH, Jenny Anderson GOLSBOROUGH, Gertrude Golsborough ----------,
Ada Goldsborough ------------, all buried in United Cemetery on
cemetery lane. Four have no tombstones ?. Probably Jacob, Jennie, Ada,
Gert.
I have now learned (07-07-99) that Harry Goldsborough at one time
lived in Kelly Station, PA.(a popular fishing and boat docking area and
doesn't have a population above 500). It is located in Armstrong County,
PA about 5-10 miles from the Butler County line. Kelly Station is on the
Allegheny River about halfway between the towns of Freeport and Kittanning.
If you get a map just follow the Allegheny River south from Kittanning
or Ford City. It is on SR 66 on the Allegheny River. (I found a small piece
of paper with his address on it that was in Leona Remleys belongings.)
According to Delilace Remley Ley, Jenny lived in Cleveland at one time,
as well as Ada, and Harry Goldsborough. (Ada moved there first because
of her husbands occupation .... but having doubts that Harry moved to Cleveland)
Harry died after Belle. (Delilace) This would
be after 1945
His wife died in 50's-60's. (Delilace)
I have a photo 1888 Gertie Goldsborough with Bill Nysurges(?) at Lingo
Studios in Uniontown, PA .... writing on back says "Christmas 1888". I
do not have any other pictures of this man that I am aware of. Gert would
be abt. 14-15 yrs of age in this photo. Could she possibly have been married
to this guy?

My husband has some cousins who live in Fayette Co. They live
in Fairchance, Pa. There is also an undertaker there by the name
of Goldsborough. These particular Goldsboroughs dropped the 'ugh'
from
their name, making it Goldsboro.
I would be interested in what you have so that I could compare it with
the ancestors of my husband, William Mahon Goldsborough III who was b.
in 1927 and d. in 1988. His father was William Mahon Goldsborough
II and his grandfather, of course, was William Mahon Goldsborough I.
From the info that I have, there were five Goldsboroughs who came to
the US from England and were English pirates. My husband's grandfather
settled in Leonardtown, Md. and eventually moved westward twds. Cumberland,
Md. and settled in Oldtown, Md. He was a boss on the C & O Canal,
had a canal boat and he and his wife took in boarders on the boat.
This was in a little section called Twiggtown.
There is another family, also related, of Goldsboroughs, who lived in
Fort Ashby, W.Va. and his name was Dan. He and his wife are buried
at Rose Hill Cemetery in Cumberland, Md. as are my husband's mother and
father.
I can't seem to find, anywhere, the parents of William Mahon Goldsborough
I.

Here's all I have:
Harriet Goldsberry, born in MD in 1796, married Rezen Barber in Washington
Co MD 27 April 1816. They had three children: Antonela, Cornelia Ringgold,
and Isaiah. I don't think any of these names were in the Barber family,
so perhaps they were in Harriet's. They moved to Fayette Co., sometime
after 1820, and Rezen died in Nicholson Township, Fayette Co.

Goldsborough Naming Variations
Something you probabbly do not know. Another variation of the
name GOLDSBORO, is one a person would not ordinarily
think of. It might have been a local terminology. George GOLDSBORO,
in early Georges Township, near Fairchance, was
known as GEORGE GOOSEBERRY.
His name also appears that way on an early map. I am certain this
is one and the same person because the
place indicated on the map, is one and the same place, where a very
old couple lived in a large home.
They were there in the 1900's, the 1920s, and the 1930s.
Their name was GEORGE GOLDSBORO and MARY GOLDSBORO I thought they
were 100 years old. I really do not
know their age. Their home was not far from my Grandparents.
They lived in Georges Twp, just East of Fairchance , at the
foot of the mountain. The street today is called East Main St
Ext, in Fairchance, PA
I have always thought this interesting. The old timers called
one another by variations of their
names. I am certain of the validity of this, because I knew them as
GEORGE and MARY GOLDSBORO, But, the old timers
in the family called them GOOSEBERRY.
What surprises me, is that these names find their way into the material
we research such as MAPS and CENSUS Records.
I hope I have been of some help to you.

What a large task you have taken on. My husband Lester, who has the
middle name Goldsborough is descended from Samuel
Goldsborough and Louisa Henderson. His grandmother was A child of Samuel
and Louisa. Her name was Caroline and she
married Edward Amps. Samuel was originally married to
Margaret and they had a son Robert aged 4 years when they arrived in
Australia from England in 1853 on the ship
"Beejapore". Margaret died in quarantine at the Manly quarantine station
in Sydney. Samuel then married Louisa whom my
husband is descended from.
We have been unable to locate Robert Goldsborough except for perhaps
a death in QLD which states parents unknown.
Do you have or have you seen a copy of the "Goldsborough Memorials'
originally know as DeGoldesborough. We are
fortunate to have a copy of this book.
I would be happy to exchange any info I have and to put you in contact
with other Goldsborough's
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tracing Roots back to England
I am very interested in the Goldsborough, et al lines - although I
descend
from a John Goldsbury who was born in 1700 supposedly in England, and
first shows up in Wrentham, Massachusetts in 1727 when he marries.
I have fairly extensive research on the family, all of which I would be
happy to share.
The reason I'm interested in all Goldsboroughs, is I'm trying to get
John
back to England, and it's proving quite an exercise in frustration
- I'm
having to start research on other Goldsborough families here in the
United
States to see if perhaps John came over with his parents or someone
else who
settled elsewhere.

I married into the name. Just started trying to get more backround on
it. The Goldsborough's lived in Ny area for many years. I
was told by the oldest Frederick (POP) that his family was Irish English
from Maryland. Here's what I know:
Frederick Goldsborough (b. 6-28-1900 d. 1/87) married Loretta Preiser
(dates unknown)
Known Children are: Frederick (b. 5-8-1920 d. 8/10/97)
married Catherine
Schaefer (b. 1/19/1924 d. 7/28/99)
Veronica married ?Hayden
Alan
Harold
Walter
William
The first Frederick had a grandfather named Patrick Gallagher and I
was
told by him that he married a Donahue and that his mothers name was
Ryan.
He also told me that they were Irish English from Maryland.
My husband is the youngest son of Frederick(the 2nd one) & Catherine,
other
siblings (youngest to oldest) are:
Bernadette
Raymond
Richard
Frederick
One by the name of Robert died just after birth & is buried in
NYsomewhere
- Veterans cemetary I think).
All others are still living.
Maybe this will help someone. I also know the forwarding line of William's
children, but unsure of his wifes maiden name.
The Goldsborough line is hard to track..
Thanks for your documenting effort!

Hi Raynelle
I saw your email on the Westmoreland list and noticed that you are
researching Goldsberry. In a search of printed records in the library
I came across a listing of the marriage of Elizabeth CLASPY to Tady
GOLDSBERRY on June 30, 1805 in Frederick County, MD. I was searching
for any CLASPY surnames in the book, Marriage Licenses of Frederick
County MD 1778-1810, by Margaret E. Myers. Anyhow, I have no idea
whether or not I am related to Elizabeth, but the CLASPY surname is
so rare that I may be. Is Tady in your database and, if so, do you
know anything of Elizabeth's origins? My ggrandfather, Mathias
CLASPY, claims to have been born in MD, around 1823, but I have not
been able to trace him. Perhaps there is a connection to Elizabeth.
Thanks for any info that you might provide.
