I think there might be a mistake. My Joseph Gooby is related to family that immigrated from Christchurch, Eng and were mentioned (?) in thee Doomsday Book. They settled in Newfoundland to build a future. Eventually, James Ingram Gooby moved to East Boston, MA. His son married my great grand mother, Mary Hoffman Gooby
If you're referring to this Joseph Gooby: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gooby-68 , it would appear to be a different one than the one you're researching.
Amy, Thank you for joining the March USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create 3153 new profiles. Our new total is over 97,000. We’re so close to 100,000!
