My Journey back to Gallia County and the early McCarleys

I will be leaving in two weeks to begin my journey.  Moses and Sarah were not born in Gallia County, but they lived there, raised a family, and were laid to rest in McCarley Cemetery.  Of course I have the statistics, both of their wills, and a few stories.  I also know that Moses' parents, John and Martha, died in Gallia County, Raccoon Township. (I wonder what happened to the three Bibles listed in John's chattels?)
And my 2nd greatgrandfather, James Robert Gooch, who was married to Moses & Sarah' s daughter Mary Jane...well, I have his picture, but what of his life.
I am going to walk the lands where these family members lived, look at the creeks where they fished, find the churches where they worshipped.  Even though the forests are gone in many places and the wildlife is more scarce. I know that the rolling hills of Gallia County will speak to me.
