He was located on the 1823 Hickman Co., KY Tax List and the 1824 Graves Co., KY list. In 1824, he is over 21 and has 1 horse, but no land. He was named in William Gough's estate papers as receiving his share. Steve Lawrence wrote that he located Joshua Gough on the 1830 Real & Personal Property Tax List in Graves Co., KY. He paid taxes on 320 acres of land valued at $1000. Initially Rhoda Gough was administrator of Joshua's estate, but evidently Eli Gough quickly took it over. It appears that Joshua's 320 acres were sold around 1833-34, but that his estate had some town lots in Mayfield that show up as late as 1840 - in that year William R. Gough was administrator of the estate. Joshua's widow, Harriett Oates Gough was listed on the 1830 Graves Co., KY census as head of the household - no children. She remarried June 22, 1832 in Muhlenberg Co., KY to Robert Randolph.
v. ELI GOUGH, b. June 15, 1803, Butler Co., KY.
Notes for ELI GOUGH: From Ken Shelton's book, "The Shelton Trek Across Kentucky", page 39 - Eli Gough was born 1804 in Butler Co., KY. He is listed on the 1824 Graves Co., KY Tax List. In 1850 he lived with his brother Jeremiah W. Gough. He is on the 1860 KY census, listed as 56 years of age, still living with his brother Jeremiah W. GOUGH. Linda (Susie) Patton wrote in June 2000 that she had seen material on the Internet regarding Eli's divorce from Synia PRYOR, whom he divorced 13 Feb 1837 in Graves Co., KY., and had heard family stories regarding this divorce.
