(Creek Indians angered by this treaty murdered the half Scotch-Irish Creek Chief William McIntosh at his home in Carroll County, Georgia.) Thomas' land was in the Northeastern part of Butts (Strickland Road: the Old McIntosh Trail). He took with him a black boy 12 years old whose name was Fill, two horses, his tools, and household goods. (Joseph Gordon McGough once commented that his great grandfather John McGough, Thomas' father, had only one horse when he moved to Georgia.) Thomas built a log cabin and cleared a crop of corn for the year 1824. For meat he killed deer, turkeys, and many other animals that roamed the woods. An "X" on a legal document suggests that he did not know how to write. ... All of Thomas and Nancy McGough's sons served in the Confederate Army in various Georgia infantry regiments.

Catherine McGee, age 40 (50 was probably the correct age), born in Ireland, could not read or write. [A Hugh (Hugo) Magee had married Catherine Larkin in Aghnamullen parish, county Monaghan, on November 16, 1845. Witnesses were Francisius Magough and Joanna Magough. Jon Butcher, a descendant of Hugh McGee, has concluded that this is the same Hugh McGee. The presence of a Larkin in Hugh McGee's home in 1870 supports this conclusion. A Hugh (Hugo) McGee had married Catharina McGeough in Aghnamullen parish, Ireland, on on March 7, 1841. Witnesses to that marriage were Francis McGeough and Jacobus (James) McGee. Possibly this was an earlier marriage of the same Hugh McGee. See my page: Baptisms and Marriages in the Catholic Parish of Aughnamullen West. Jon Butcher says Hugh McGee "likely first married around 1821 a woman named Mary Feeley, according to the death certificate of his son" (Michael?). "A Michael Magee, who looks to have been Hugh's son, was naturalized in Taunton and gave his birth as 15 Sep 1831, Co. Monaghan. ... Of interest to you may be the following, which appears to connect the family in Taunton with those in Pottsville, PA. In the Boston Pilot of 1/23/1847 there was a missing person advertisement placed by Bernard McGee of Taunton regarding John McGee, his brother, from Aghnamullen, Co. Monaghan (townland of Drumconlan—probably should be either Drumcanon or Drumcunnion.), last known place of residence Pottsville, PA."]

(The Polly Rasberry who maried James McGough was Mary Ann (Polly) Rasberry who was born in 1814 to Thomas Rasberry and his first wife, Caroline Alford, whom he married in Georgia in 1803 (Family Search). Thomas Rasberry married his second wife, Ruth Spears, in Bibb County, Alabama, on November 22 (or 24), 1841. The 1850 census of the parish of Union, Louisiana, lists Thomas Rasberry, age 65, born in Georgia, a farmer with real estate valued at $200; his wife, Ruth Rasberry, age 55, born in South Carolina; and a daughter, Sarah Rasberry, age 19, born in Alabama (M-432, roll 241, page 392, line 25). See: The Rasberry Family.)

[The 1860 census of Choctaw county (township 20), Mississippi, lists a Polly Rasberry, age 40, born in Alabama, as the head of a household, house mistress, with real estate valued at $400, and personal property worth $348. Living with her were Madison Rasberry, age 19, a farm laborer born in Alabama, Rebecca Rasberry, age 15, born in Alabama; and Richard Rasberry, age 13, born in Mississippi. On the same property was Pinkney Rasberry, age 21, a farmer, born in Mississippi, with his wife, Elizabeth, age 19, born in Mississippi. (M-653, roll 579, page 0, line 14). Pinkney, Madison, Rebecca, and Richard were the children of this Polly Rasberry—so she was a different person than the Polly Rasberry who had married James Madison McGough in 1832. In the 1850 census of subdivision 23, Choctaw county, Mississippi, Pinkney (age 12), Madison (age 8), Rebecca (age 5) and Richard (age 3), are listed with their parents: Aley Rasbury, age 33, a farmer, born in Georgia (M-432, roll 370, page 92, line 42) (indexed by Ancestry.com as Alez Rasbury), and Joisey Rasbury (indexed by Ancestry.com as Jarsey), age 32, born in Alabama, who could not read and write. (Aly Rasberry married Joicy Barrett in Bibb county, Georgia, on January 4 (or 8), 1838. Early Marriages of Bibb County, Alabama. "Alfrenza [Ali Aly Alez Alex] Rasberry was born about 1817. Alfrenza was blessed on 8 Jan 1838 in Bibb county (Bibb County Records, book D, page 84). Alfrenza married Joyce Ann Barrett on 8 Jan 1838 in Bibb County, Alabama." (An older brother of Madison and Polly Rasberry (McGough), Green Rasberry, who had been born in 1806, had married Rebecca Maryanne Barrett, a sister of Joyce Ann (Joicy) Barrett, on October 7, 1827.) Alfrenza was a brother of Mary Ann "Polly" Rasberry McGough who married James Madison McGough. Descendants of Benjamin Rasberry—Second Generation.) Most probably, this other Polly Rasberry was the Joicy Barrett who had married Aly Rasberry, and who was the mother of Pinkney, Madison, Richard and Rebecca, (and Martha)—and not the Polly Rasberry who had married James Madison McGough. In the 1870 census of Choctaw county, Mississippi (township 20, range 10, Post Office: Bellefontaine), she is listed as Joyce Rasberry, age 52, at home, born in Alabama, who could read but not write (M-593, roll 725, page 432, line 33), in the home of Marquis Howell, age 30, born in Mississippi, and Martha Howell, age 30, born in Alabama. (Martha was probably another child of Aly Rasberry and Joicy Barrett.) See also: The Family of Thomas Rasberry contributed by Mitchelene Shaddix; The Rasberry Family.]

[Carolyn McGough Rowe in A Glimpse of the Past, at page 78, reports that John McGough, the father of James Madison McGough, filed a slander suit against Madison Rasberry in the courts of Bibb county, Alabama, on April 21, 1835. "He won and was given land from Rasberry as settlement of the suit." (On April 2, 1835, Madison Rasberry had made a cash purchase of 40.37 acres at 1 SWSE, township 22N, range 13E, section 7, St. Stephen's Meridian, Chilton county, Alabama, through the Cahaba Land Office. Alabama Land Records on Ancestry.com.) The defendant in John McGough's slander suit was probably Polly Rasberry's older brother, Madison Rasberry. This Madison Rasberry had married Elizabeth Hubbard on February 12, 1830, in Bibb county, Alabama (Alabama Marriage Collection, 1800–1969 on Ancestry.com) and is listed in the 1840 census of Bibb county, Alabama, as between 20 and 30 years old, with a wife between 20 and 30 years old, a son under 5, and 3 daughters, 1 between 5 and 10, and 2 under five (roll 1, page 102, line 1). The 1850 census of E. C. River (East Side Cahaba River), Bibb county, Alabama, lists Madison Rasberry, age 41, born in Georgia, a farmer with real estate worth $800, living with his wife, Elizabeth, age 39, born in Georgia, who could not read and write, and 9 children, ranging in age from 18 to 3 months (M-432, roll 2, page 66, line 6). The slander suit was filed by John McGough about 2 1/2 years after his son, James, had married Polly Rasberry, and probably after Polly's death. In 1831 or 1832, Polly Rasberry McGough had given birth to John's grandson, also John McGough, who is the oldest child listed below in the 1850 census of this family. A family history of the Rasberys says: "Madison Rasberry was a resident of the Jemison area for 42 years. He was also known as a heavy drinker, 'hellraiser', and he spent some time in jail for fighting." Madison "Major" Rasberry—Born Putnum County, Georgia—Lived in Chilton County, Alabama—My 2nd Great-Grandfather by Mitchelene Shaddix.

The index to the 1850 census of Milo, Yates county, New York, lists Patrick Gough and Julia Gough in dwelling #612 (should be #613) (and a second Patrick Gough in the same family, their son, the first of seven children, who was born in Milo in 1850) and lists no McGoughs or any other recognizable form of the name. The index is published on the website of The Yates County Office of Public History under "Resources." The surname is listed as Goff (1870) and Magoff (1875) in later censuses, but most often McGough (1855, 1860, 1865, and 1892 (children and grandchildren).
