Goff, E. C. (Ebenezer C.)
Biographical notes:
E. C. Goff sold his farm in Little Prairie Ronde, Michigan in order to go to California during the gold rush, where he worked on Pools Bar on the South Yuba River and American Hill, both near Nevada City, and on the Klamath River near Happy Camp. In 1856 or 1857 he returned home, and in 1859 he visited Colorado during the gold rush there. Goff was married to Amelia and had two children: William H. and Martha. Goff's brother, John F., had been in California with E. C. and had left before the end of 1853. He later owned a claim in Lawrence, Kansas, and also visited Colorado during the gold rush.
