Biography

Son of Richard Goode. He arrived in Virginia in 1651.^[1] He passed away in 1719.

• "Virginia Cousins," page 34: "RICHARD GOODE, No. 27, son of Richard Goode of Cornwall, no. 21, was an immigrant from England like his brother John. Family tradition states that there were two brothers, who settled first upon the 'eastern shore,' and afterwards came to the James river. Whether or not John and Richard Goode were from a time residents of Accomac, we shall, probably never know; nor is it known that Richard Goode accompanied his brother to Barbados. It is possible that he may rather have come to Virginia by way of New England. One Richard Goode was juryman at a court in Massachusetts in 1646 (Massachusetts Historical Collections) who may have been the same, since there are no subsequent traces of him in the more northerly colony. In 1670, Richard Goode received a grant of 250 acres of land in Virginia, 'between the Chickahominy River and the Great Swamp.' This would appear from the land register, to have been in the Old Rappahannock county, abolished in 1690 [1692], and now included in parts of Essex, Richmond, Caroline and Spottsylvania counties [the latter two formed after Richard's death.] The records of this region, were in great part destroyed during the Civil War, but a portion of them is still preserved in Tappahannock, and has enabled us to connect Richard Goode, the emigrant, with some, at least, of his descendants. He died about 1719, at which time, July 19, his will was recorded. He would appear, therefore, to have been younger than his brother John."
