GEORGE GOSHORN

George Goshorn, the father of a large family of the best and most honorable 
citizens of Charleston, was born in Pennsylvania in 1789. When thirty-three 
years of age he came to Kanawha, and engaged in business.  Mr. Goshorn was a 
man of enterprise, and through energy and application to business, 
accumulated a considerable estate.  He was a man of strict integrity, and 
maintained a good character till the time of his death, which took place at 
his residence in Charleston, June 24, 1845.  He had five sons, viz: John H., 
William F., Jacob, George, Alvin and David A.  All of whom are living except 
David, who died in 1870.  They are all men of good character, and are leading 
citizens of Kanawha county.
