Charles I. Gooch, farmer and stock raiser, section 22, was born in Mason County, 
Kentucky, July 20, 1828. His father, Charles I. Gooch, was a horse dealer, and a 
native of Virginia. In 1800 he removed to Kentucky, where he married Tabitha 
Walton, a Virginian by birth. Young Charles was the sixth in a family of seven 
children. He was reared on a farm in Kentucky, and received his education in the 
subscription schools and commercial college at Covington. In 1851 he came west 
and stopped at the town of Boonville, engaging in farming near there, where he 
remained for five years. In 1856 he was informed by an old friend of the 
excellent land to be entered in Henry County, and accordingly he came here and 
entered his land, which now constitutes a farm of 340 acres, under fence and 
improved, with a good house, barn and orchard. A superior vein of coal is on this 
farm. February 7, 1857, Mr. Gooch married Miss Sophia Hiligas, a native of Ohio. 
They have seven children, Martha, Mary, Lucy, George, Henry and Eddie, living, and 
one, Samuel, deceased.
