Lydia [--?--]

Abt 1658 - 1725

• Born	Abt 18 Jul 1658	Duxbury, Plymouth Co., MA, USA
  Gender	Female
  Died	18 Jul 1725	Lebanon, New London Co., CT, USA   [1]
  Age	~ 67
  Notes	I have found no references to support the name of Goff. However, this name has been reported to me by Warren H. Hasty as the result of "submitted by a person researching the Goff family". In follow-up correspondence between Warren H. Hasty and Dr. David W. Lamberts, Mr. Hasty reports the following: My information was not from my research but through a Name Matching program sponsored by the Silicon Valley PAF Users Group. I received two matches for John Sprague and Lydia Goff and one match for a John Sprague and Lois Standish with approximate birth dates, etc. for John Sprague and spouses as follows: Kay Lewis Baker John Sprague and Lydia Goff 166 East 3620 North RIN Number for Lydia - 566 Provo, UT 86404 Phone: 801-226-1130 United Ancestries Inc. John Sprague and Lydia Goff 2530 West South Sute No RIN Number shown Taylor's Landing Taylorville, UT 84118 Phone: 800-828-2171 John and Margaret Hansen John Sprague and Lois Standish 26600 S.E. 15th Street RIN Number for Lois - 3667 Issaquah, WA 98027-8240 Phone: 206-392-2108 In writing to above persons, you should include their RIN number where shown above so they can quickly find this data on their computer. Several months ago, I called the Baker family regarding their source of data on this marriage of John Sprague and Lydia Goff and as I recall they stated it was from the Mormon Ancestral File. Unfortunately I did not follow through on any further research on this matter. NOTE: December 11, 1996 by Richard E. Weber, The Composite Sprague Data Base. An extensive follow-up study was conducted by Dr. David Winton Lamberts to assist me in my project efforts. The results are that no conclusive evidence has been isolated to support Lydia Goff(e) as the name of the wife of John Sprague. It would appear that the name Goffe comes from confusion between this John and John Sprague, son of Ralph Sprague, the 1628 immigrant. Only scattered Family Group Sheets in the Ancestral File support the name Goffe and no other published reference was indicated by any correspondent. Lacking further evidence, I feel strongly that this Lydia should be considered to have an unknown maiden name.
