David Goudy

  General Notes:

David Goudy appears to have moved to California: The 1900 Federal Census for Siskiyou Co., California, District 129 records a David Goudy as a border. His age is recorded as 50 and the places of birth for David and his parents are left blank as is his occupation indicating that perhaps he did not give the data for the form.
