Harriett Lucinda Goble   Born: 29 Oct 1839, Alexander County, NC Died:  03 Jul 1911, Catawba County, NC     Harriett Lucinda Goble was born 29 Oct 1839 in Alexander County to Lewis Carlan Goble and Evi Hefner and was called "Lucinda".   According to the 1850 Catawba County Census, Lucinda was living in Catawba County with her parents, Lewis & Evi, as well as her younger siblings (David, John, Martha, Mary and Caroline).  She was 11 years old at the time.   1850 Catawba County Census                               First Name Last Name Age Sex Occupation Real Estate Value Birth Place Lewis Goble 36 M Farmer $299 Alexander Eve ------ 33 F     Alexander Lucinda ------ 11 F     Alexander David ------ 9 M     Alexander John ------ 7 M     Alexander Martha ------ 5 F     Alexander Mary ------ 4 F     Alexander Caroline ------ 1 F     Alexander       By the 1860s Lucinda Goble was living with her parents on their large farm in Catawba County.  The life of ease and tranquility had diminished with the onset of the Civil War.  The young men were off fighting in the war while the women, children, and old men were left at home to carry on the best they could.  The farms were lying fallow and food was getting harder to come by.  Supplies were going to the army and civilians were having a hard time.  They had to make do with what they had.   According to the 1860 Catawba County Census, Lucinda is still single and living at home with her parents and other siblings.  The absence of Caroline from this Census suggests that she has died sometime after the last Census.   1860 Catawba County Census   First Name Last Name Age Race Occupation Real Estate Personal Estate Birth Attended School this Year Over 20 Can't Read or Write Lewis Goble 51 M Farmer $1000 $680 Alexander     Evi ----- 40 F       Alexander   X Lucinda ----- 21 F       Alexander     David ----- 19 M       Alexander X   John ----- 17 M       Alexander X   Martha ----- 15 F       Alexander X   Mary ----- 14 F       Alexander X   Corban ----- 12 M       Alexander X   Emanuel ----- 10 M Twin       Alexander X   Delilah ----- 10 F Twin       Alexander X   Elizabeth ----- 6 F       Alexander     Catherine ----- 4 F       Alexander           Lucinda was no different from any other young woman since the beginning of time.  She had dreams of love and romance and the man that she would someday share her life with.  But due to the hardships of war, the beautiful Lucinda fell for the charms of a much older neighbor by the name of Jacob B. Hedrick.  She became pregnant and gave birth to a child that she named Jacob Hedrick Goble on 22 Oct 1860.   Children of Jacob B. Hedrick and Harriett Lucinda Goble Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse Jacob Hedrick Goble 22 Oct 1860 03 Mar 1929 Statesville, Iredell Co, NC Frances Elizabeth Douglas m. 10 December 1884     It appears that Jacob B. Hedrick, who was born about 1802.  He would have been about 58 when Jacob Hedrick Goble was born.  Jacob Hedrick was the son of John Hedrick and Louiza Lovi.        It does not appear that Jacob Hedrick ever married, and he seems to have been in-and-out of the area over the years.  There were several bastardy cases brought against him through the years, including a case in 1861 with Lucinda Goble and again in 1866 with Susan Shepard.       State vs. Jacob Hedrick January 1861 Case of Bastardy allowance made to Lucinda Goble First year $25.00, second year, $20.00, and third year $15.00           The 1870 census shows Jacob Hedrick, age 68, living in Catawba County, North Carolina,  with Alfred & Matilda Pope close to the Lewis Carlan Goble Family.  The census indicates that Jacob had "no occupation or property".   1870 Catawba County Census   Last Name First Name Age Sex Race Occupation Real Estate Personal Estate Birth Over 21 Can't Read or Write Pope Alfred 50 M W Farmer   $100 NC X ------ Matilad 35 F W Keeping house     NC   ------ Joshua 15 M W At home     NC   ------ Hugh 10 M W At home     NC   ------ Pinkney 9 M W       NC   ------ Rebecca 1 F W       NC   Hedrick Jacob 68 M W No occupation or property     NC X       Lucinda’s child, Jacob Hedrick Goble, was raised by Lucinda's father and mother, Lewis & Evi Goble.   Around 1865, Harriett Lucinda Goble married Andrew Jackson Christopher, the son of Andrew Christopher and Bettie Sigmon Christopher of Catawba County, NC.  Jack was  born 17 Feb 1839.    Lucinda had at least ten children according to the 1900 and 1910 Catawba County Census records. We know about the seven she had with Jack Christopher (Harriett J., John C., Adolphus M., Martha E., Mary Louvanda, Quintus, George Washington) and the one she had with Jacob B. Hedrick (Jacob Hedrick Goble) but there is no record of the other two.   Children of Andrew Jackson "Jack"  Christopher and Harriett Lucinda Goble Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse Harriett J.
