The primary source for identifying Anna Maria Minter Williams' maiden name as Gooch was the LW&T of her father (and the subsequent probate file). The will of John Gooch, written 20 April, 1785 and proved during the November Court, Granville Co., NC in 1793, leaves to his son Gideon land in Caroline Co., VA, "which he sold and received profits" ..... also to daughter Elizabeth Terry, Anna Maria Minter now Williams, sons John, Rowland, Joseph, and William. Executors: sons Joseph and John. Witnesses: Daniel and William Gooch, James Terry, and John Gooch. Since his wife was not mentioned it is assumed that she was deceased. Source: Abstracted by Daniel Mahar. She married first Joseph Minter and second Captain John Williams. By her first husband she had 6 children (including daughter Anna Maria Minter who married Captain John Terry); by her second husband she had no known offspring. Don & Brenda Chandler
