Goens-Jefferson County WVA
I am searching for any information on the Marsh family that lived in Jefferson Co. WVa, in the early 1800's. One of the children was name George Marsh, and he married Mary Goens, they had a daughter name Nancy Ardella. they left WVa right after the civil war and headed to Michigan. The Marsh's were slaves. George's father was murdered by the plantation owner, based on the premise that the Marsh's were fleeing. Mary Goen's parents are Lawson and Sarah (Hart) Goens.
