William Gooding (also called Gooden) was the son of Anderson and Susannah (Scott) Campbell. He grew up around Chattanooga, Tennessee and served during the Civil War in the 1st Tennessee Cavalry Regiment of the Confederate Army (CSA). He fought in the Battle of New Hope Church (fought November 27 - December 2, 1863 in Orange County, VA). He was wounded and captured in the Battle of Piedmont (in the village of Piedmont, Augusta County, Virginia) in the Shenandoah Valley on 5 June 1864. He was taken with 500 other prisoners to Camp Morton, Indianapolis, IN until March 1865. He became ill during his internment and never fully recovered. According to his wife, he was promoted to the rank of Captain in the Confederate Army while a prisoner-of-war. At the end of the war, he was returned with hundreds of other southern soldiers to be released at Richmond, VA. He then walked back home to Tennessee. Gooden and his wife Pelemela Josephine Richey moved from the Chattanooga area to Arkansas via a wagon train with other Campbell clan members in 1870. They first lived at Alma, just east of Van Buren, then moved northwest to Cedarville. Gooden died on 27 November 1886 of pneumonia, but his wife Pelemela died much later on 3 January 1938.

All of his children are linked to him.
