12c   Elizabeth Goodner, the 12th child of Conrad and Elizabeth (Scherrer) Goodner, was born in Smith County, Tennessee, on either January 11th or June 11th, 1806.  Both dates have been given to me.  When she was about six years of age, the family moved to Illinois Territory, settling in Randolph, then Johnson County, and finally in about 1815 in St. Clair County, Illinois.  Two dates have been given to me as the time of her death.  One is August 13th, 1839, the year in which her last child was born.  The other date is January 13th, 1843.  I am inclined to believe that the 1839 date is the correct one.  On January 8th, 1823, lacking three days of being 17 years of age, she married John Wesley Holcomb, a tanner.  He was born April 15th, 1801.  They remained in St. Clair County until the year 1832, when they moved to Washington County with her brothers, Elijah and Francis.  One brother, Jacob, was already living in Washington County, residing near Nashville.  Here they remained until her death.  This is the report given in a letter to George Washington Goodner. but apparently she and John did not move to Washington County until after 1835, for her son Jacob. was born in Beardstown in St. Clair in March of 1835, as reported to me by his granddaughter.  Places of interment not known.

1d    Joseph A. Holcomb, born 10–31–1824, St. Clair County, Illinois.  Date of death not known.  He is reported to have gone to California and to have never married.

Missouri, and interred there.  Married Cornelius Gooding* 5–3–1853, whose first wife was Luverba Goodner, a daughter of Benjamin.  Places of residence not definitely known, but from the fact that some of the children were born in West Point, Illinois, and that she died at Jasper, Missouri.  It is safe to assume that they lived at both places.  At her death she was 92 years of age and presumably Cornelius preceded her in death.  We do not know his place of interment.
