[or-roots] The Susan Bryant-Thomas Goodman Mystery

[dgoodma02 at comcast.net]

Yup, It's a mystery to me---
My Great Grandfather, Thomas Goodman is shown on my Grandfather's Death 
Certificate as Born in Kentucky (abt 1842).  Thomas shows up on the 1870 Census 
as born in Missouri (MUSURA as my mother taught me-She born there)
In both of these he is shown as married to Susan Bryant, who was born in Missoui 
also.
When I look up Thomas and Susan on Rootsweb or the LDS Data Base, I get Thomas 
P. Goodman Born in, Illinois, abt 1842.
I have some very sparse info about a Thomas T. Goodman. I find that he married 
Jennette Miller abt 1867 in Linn Co. OR..Susan Bryant turns out to have married 
three times--once to Thomas Goodman and Thomas P. Goodman married two times, 
once to Susan Bryant.
'Tis a Mystery!!!  Anyone have any Ideas?  HELP!
