Adoptions delay posts & a Goodman update

I have a good excuse for not posting over the last four days. We adopted two 8 month old kittens Thursday night. Callie and Camden are from the same litter. Callie looks to have a lot of Siamese in her. Camden will have issues with superstitious types - he's a black little guy. Time has been consumed with taking turns sitting in the room hoping to get the kittens used to us. Callie is opening up, but Camden prefers hiding under the bed.

Back to the Goodman clan.

Carl Goodman [25] appeared in the 1850 Knox County, Indiana household of William Goodman [40] and wife Lucinda [23]. Other sources [1860 census, Find A Grave] suggest an 1806 birth for William, making him 44 in 1850 and 19 years older than Carl. 

Lucinda [Lawson] turns out to be William's second wife whom he married in 1844. Thus, Carl, William and George [both 14] and Elizabeth Goodman Frakes [20] were all from William's first marriage to - you guessed it - an unknown first wife!

William haied from Kentucky, so may have married there. Indiana is also a possibility. The digging continues.
