Notes for Thiel GOFF:
Thiel or Salathiel (others say Tharl or Thyle) Goff. He married twice. The marriage to Hannah Turton produced two sons, James and John Turton. A later marriage to Joanna or Nancy Strother produced two sons Thomas Jonas and Salathiel. About 1750, Thiel took his family to Germany because of oppression to religious beliefs, power structure of government, and oppression to the Goff name. The boys became well educated, spoke German, and spoke English with a heavy German brogue, thus leading early historians astray and called the family German. The family formed lasting friendships with the Riddles and Hardmans. About 1759 Thiel did not like the conditions of religious teachings and other conditions in Germany so left Germany and returned to England. In 1760 John Turton Goff, son of Thiel Goff, married Elizabeth Welch of Scotland. In 1762 (Aug. 21) James C. Goff, first son of John Turton Goff, was born in England. In 1764 Marsha Ann, second child of John Turton Goff, was born in England. Before 1765 James Riddle married, a sister of Elizabeth, Dorcas Welsh. Later that year Benjamin Riddle, first son of James Riddle and Dorcas Welsh was born. In 1766 Allaluja Goff, third child of John Turton Goff and Elizabeth Welsh, was born. In 1770 or 1771, the Group (Goffs, Hardmans, and Riddles) were together in England. In 1771 John Shelburn, fourth child of John Turton Goff and Elizabeth Welch, was born. About 1772 Salathiel Goff married Elizabeth L. Gray. In 1772 the four Goff brothers, James Riddle, Joseph Hardman, and sister Margaret Hardman (both unmarried) came from England and landed in Baltimore, MD with their families and children. During the Winter of 1772-73, the group stayed in Baltimore, MD. In 1773, the group settled near Georgetown, now part of Washinton. In 1774 Thiel died (presumably still in England). That March the group joined John Minear, a German immigrant, and moved to Cheat River (Now) Tucker County, WV. In 1776, because of the Indian Wars, the group left but returned to Cheat River in Tucker County. The Goff brothers at this time were known for their good education, had money, prestige, and power. In the summer 1781 John Minear was drafted and served in Captain Salathiel Goff's Company against the Indians.
