Their son, Alexander, who was 8 years old, was enumerated with his parents. Also enumerated with the family in 1850 was Michael's widowed mother, Mary (Hannah) Goodnight, who was reported to be 67 years of age, although we believe she was more likely about age 70. Two additional individuals were enumerated in the Goodnight household in 1850. James "Strinett" was 20 years old and worked as a laborer, and Mary Matherly was age 13.7
