(4) William3 GOAD, (Abraham2 GOAD, Richard1 GOURD) was born in Aug 1693 in
North Farnham, Richmond Co., Va, and about 1712, married (11) MARY.
William died on Jan 18, 1731/1732 in Henry Co., Va.
MARY died on Jan 20, 1734/1735.
William Goads's birth is recorded in the parish register. Also his married
to a Mary (surname unknown). For some curious reason, he was not mentioned
in William Smyth's will although it may be he was named for his
step-grandfather. This William pre-deceased his father, Abraham. Only
two references are found in the Richmond County deed books. The first is
the conveyance by him and Abraham to William Downman in 1724, mentioned
before. The second was under date of December, 1729 when William Goad of
Richmond County conveyed to William Downman a tract of 45 acres being a
part of the land William lived on and being from the western most side of
his plantation. William died January 18, 1732 according to the parish
register. The same source gives the death date of his wife Mary as
January 30, 1735. No clue has been found as to the identity of his wife
but the birth dates of their two children are found in the parish
register.

A SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE LAWRENCE FAMILY by Wm. Pritchett
Pg. 15. Hannah, wife of Tobias Phillips, m/2 Wm. Dodson of Richmond Co.,
VA about 1748. They had no children. Dodson's will probated 6 Aug 1753
and witnessed by Thomas Lawrence....
It is mentioned that Elizabeth Dale, the younger daughter of Reuben Dale
and Elizabeth Simmonds married William Dodson. I am not sure that this
is the William Dodson but the time and ages would fit perfectly.
No children of this marriage in these records.

Louis C. Goad, vice president of General Motors, says his grandfather told
him their family were both planters and merchants in Virginia. His
great-great-grandparents were John Goad and Polly Moody; his
Great-grandparents, Willaim Goad and Jennie Allison; his grandparents,Thomas
Goad and Elizabeth Bundy, and, with their families, came down the Ohio River by
flatboat. The brother settled in Southern Ohio. Thomas settled in Posey Co.,
Ind., on a tract of land bounded by the White River on the west and the Ohio
River on the south. He built and donated the first schoolhouse in Posey
County. He was a farmer and also had a large wagon and furniture building
business. Louis' parents were William Goad and Mary Katherine French. William
was in the millworking business.
Ken Haas disagrees with the account above and says that Catherine is the mother
of the first five children and presumably of the last three as well.

(9) Abraham3 GOAD, (Abraham2 GOAD, Richard1 GOURD) was born Mar 10, 1709/1710
in Bedford Co., Va, and about 1735 in Prince William, Va, married (45) Joanna
WHEATLEY. Abraham died on Jul 13, 1779 in Pittsylvania Co., Va.
Abraham Goad of Pittsylvania County, Virginia p.10.
His father left him a tract of land but there is no record in the deed
indices of his selling it. His wife, named Joanna, appeared in the parish
register in recording the birth of their eldest child. Abraham sold his
other land to his brother, Peter and probably left Richmond County after
the birth of the first child in 1736.
He was probably in Pittsylvania County, VA, when the county was formed in
1767. He appears in the order books of the county as early as 1769.
Abraham wrote his will (signing it by the mark "A") on July 13, 1779 and
it was proved September 21, 1779 and probated in Deed Book 5, page 451. He
left his daughters one shilling each and his son, William, one shilling.
His land he devised to his sons, Robert and Abraham. His wife, Joannah,
is not mentioned in the will so it is presumed that she predeceased him.
Land grant records at the Virginia State Library in Richmond record that
in 1769, Abraham Goad of Pittsylvania County received a grant of 374 acres
on Frying Pan Creek, adjoining Dalton. Two of his grandsons, sons of
Robert, would later marry Dalton sisters.
Other than the above, almost nothing of the life of this Abraham Goad is
known. Without the wills of Abraham, John and their father, we would know
little about the Goad family prior to 1780.
Abraham is referred to today by those who research the family as
"Pittsylvania Abe." There is some reason to believe that he lived for a
time in Price William Coiunty after he left Richmond County and before he
settled in Pittsylvania. The will does not mention his wife Joannah, so
it is assumed that she had predeceased him; it does list nine children,
all of whom were bequeathed one shilling, excepting Robert and Abraham who
were devised the land. (see source)
