It's recently been learned that her father was Roland Gullison. He fought with the United States Colored Troops during the Civil War and his name is listed at the moment for Africa-American soldiers in Washington DC. He is listed as Rollin Gullison.
My colleague Matt Hayes adds the following: Details about Alice Goldson are available in her husband's pension record and in her widow's pension application. The name Mite that appears on the wedding record was a clerical error. Her maiden name was Gullison or Gillison, and her father's first name was Roland. He died during or just after the Civil War and her mother remarried a man with the surname Knight. Alice assumed the last name of her step-father, which was incorrectly placed in the marriage record as "Mite."
