SMGF2 traces his lineage from Utah, USA to Leicestershire to Shropshire while SMGF3 traces his lineage from Yorkshire to Leicester. The most likely point of connection between these two families would seem to be Leicestershire in the early- to mid-1700s.

Descendants of three of the four Goff brothers of western Virginia were tested and findings confirm the historical record that James Goff, John Turton Goff and Salathiel Goff were brothers. The ancestral haplotype of the father of the four Goff brothers is a 56/58 match with a descendant of Stephen Gough d. 1700 St. Mary's Co., MD. Stephen Goffe (spelling in document) was transported to America in 1664 or 1665 by William Tettershall, according to land patent records at the Maryland State Archives. The Tettershall family of St. Mary's Co., MD was from Wiltshire, England and Stephen Gough later married the widow Mary (Tettershall) Jarboe, who had a brother named William Tettershall. Descendants of the four Goff brothers are generally Protestant while descendants of Stephen Gough of St. Mary's Co., MD are generally Catholic. DYS439 may hold the key to sorting out the precise relationship between these families. Within haplogroup I1, 11 repeats is observed 75% of the time while 12 repeats are found about 18% of the time.

While Stephen Gough (d. 1700 St. Mary’s Co., MD) and the four Goff brothers of western Virginia, have matching Y-chromosomes, the precise nature of their relationship is unknown. The four Goff brothers first appeared in the known historical record in 1765/66 Loudoun Co., VA. Ignatius and Patrick Burns, Catholics from St. Mary’s Co., MD, were close neighbors of the Goffs in Loudoun Co., VA. St. Ignatius was the patron saint of the Catholic settlement in MD and there was a heavy concentration of this given name in St. Mary’s Co., MD. As such, the 1790-1820 census was analyzed for instances of this name in the states around MD to learn something about the migration paths out of St. Mary’s.

A distribution analysis of the Goff surname and similar haplotypes in England has uncovered what may be a related Goff family in 16th century Norfolk Co., England. Note that this family includes sons named Salathiel and Benjamin, which are common names among four Goff brothers and Stephen Gough descendants, respectively. There are indications that the deeper ancestry of this haplotype is in Norway/Sweden.. Haplogroup I1 is confirmed by P40+ (kit F25496 - Ethnoancestry) and M253+ (kit F88604 - FTDNA).

Both families have tradition and papertrail leading back to Preston Co., WV, but do not match the four Goff Brothers Y-DNA. Both men have potentially significant Y-DNA matches with the Bilderback and Friend families. A connection with the Friend family seems more likely since descendants of the Friend family lived in Preston Co., WV at the same time as these two Goff families.

Through autosomal DNA testing, F244212 is predicted as 4th to distant cousin to F25496, a known male line descendant of James Goff of the four Goff brothers. F244212 also has Carrico autosomal DNA matches. These autosomal matches and the Preston Co., WV heritage suggests that a female descendant of one of the four Goff brothers had a son and gave him the Goff surname. More research is needed to prove or disprove this theory. More descendants of each family should take an autosomal DNA test.

The Buckingham Co., VA and Bristol Co., MA Gough/Goff families match on 63 of 67 markers. However, the Buckingham Co., VA haplotype is based on only one results for 55 of the 67 markers. Once expanded test results for FN69264 are available, the genetic distance may be reduced. It is not clear if William Gough of Buckingham Co., VA descends from or shares a common lineage with the Bristol Co., MA Goff family. A comparison of given names between the two families and analysis of the neighbors of William Gough may hold clues. 

Participant F86159 traced his ancestry to Thomas Franklin Goff b. 1828 Bristol Co., NY, who can then be traced to his grandfather, Asa Goff b. 1782 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA, a descendant of Anthony Goffe through his son Richard Goff. Participant DLXW8WF has a paper trail to Anthony Goffe through his son Robert Goff. Participant F50512 descends from Jonathan Goff who, according to his military records, was born in Taunton, MA, which is in Bristol Co., MA. All three men are high matches for the ancestral haplotype, although Jonathan Goff has not yet been connected to Anthony Goffe. Note that all mutations are arbitrarily assigned to kit F50512, which has been SNP-tested as M269+ by FTDNA. Until another participant with these marker tests joins the project there is no way to know which participant's lineage has which of the four mutations.

This family seems to have originated in eastern VA and spread south and west. William Gough b 1720 lived in Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., VA in 1744 when his son Joshua, the ancestor of  participant # D69ZFH4, was born. Isham Goff was born in SC, but the earliest record of Isham Goff is his marriage to Sarena McBride (c1813 GA – bef 1860) on 21 January 1831 in Rhea Co., TN. William Gough and Isham Goff descendants are an exact match on all 25 markers and there is an 85% or 94% probability that the most recent common ancestor was no more than 200 or 300 years ago, respectively. Differences in DYS390 and DYS444 offer the potential to sort these participants into different branches of the overall family, the precise structure of which is unknown at the moment. Haplogroup is a prediction.

Both participants can trace their paternal lineage to John F. Goff (b. ca. 1820 PA), who was in Mahoning Co., OH by 1850 and Wells Co., IN by 1860. The most recent common ancestor was Emery Burton Goff b 1881 IN. The participants are first cousins once removed.

"Edmond Gough" and "Henry Gough" first appear in 1830 and "Louis Gawf" in the 1840 Henderson Co., TN census. Descendants of each of these three men have family stories that their ancestor was born a Barlow and later took the name Goff. The probability that descendants of Edmond Gawf,  Henry Goff, Lewis Goff, William Henry Barlow and "Isle of Wight, VA" Barlow share a common paternal ancestor is 97% or 99% within the last 200 years or 300 years, respectively. Haplogroup is a prediction. Note that with the possible exception of CDYa/b, all mutations from the common ancestor seem to have arisen in recent generations in each lineage. That is, there are no common mutations with which to sort the lineages. Note that the Barlow haplotypes above are from the Barlow DNA Project. 

To find a possible location for where the orphan event took place, every Goff and Barlow (and variants) in the 1790-1810 NC census returns was analyzed. William and Thomas Barlow and Sterling Gawf of 1790 Wake Co., NC are the only Barlow and Goff families living in the same county at the same time in NC. By 1800, William and Thomas Barlow were gone, leaving Sterling Gawf with a household that included two white males under the age of 10. Hugh Gawf also appears in the 1800 Wake Co., NC census. By 1810, there were no Goffs (or Barlows) in Wake Co., NC.  

F80830 has a family tradition that his father was the son of a man other than the paper trail grandfather. The father was born in 1924 in Osage Co., OK to a woman who had been married to the same man since ca. 1917. She and her husband lived in Kingman Co., KS in 1920 and Reno Co., KS in 1930. Her other children (born before and after 1924) were born in KS. The evidence indicates that the biological father of the child born in 1924 was either a Barlow/ar or a Goff/Gawf.
