I found John's marriage license in Douglas County. It was kind of wierd that I also found Robert Thomas Godbee's Marriage license there also. Neither he nor his wife were from there. As far as Stephen goes, I think that he may have been in Alabama. A Stephen Godbee had a land patent in AL in the late 1850's and as far as I can tell, he would have been the only candidate. I believe that he joined up with the Confederacy during the war with an outfit from GA. I have 2 records for a Stephen Godbee during the war but neither record set has alot of info.
Albert's estate records didn't say what happened to Stephen but did stipulate as to the relationship of W.T. and J.H. Godbee to their father. It even used the spelling that W.T. was using at the time.
I am working on getting Albert's Southern Claims Commission records. I have Henry B.'s but Alberts were never put on microfilm.
