Posted on: Amelia County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Amelia/10711 Surname: Goode ------------------------- Rev. William Goode of the Methodist Church in Tennessee was probably born in either Amelia or Prince Edward County. He was born April 02, 1803, and died in 1870. He married Sarah (Sally) Collier Osborne, daughter of John H. and Susannah Goode Osborne, on September 30, 1824. I would welcome confirmation that his father was William Goode (born 1755-75 and died before 1820) son of Robert Goode, and his mother was Agnes Venable Hollaway (widow). One source says that Rev. Goode is cited in the History of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Vol. 4, by Nathan Bangs, published in New York in 1839. I have been unable to locate a copy of that volume and would appreciate hearing from someone with access to it to confirm the mention. I also would like to know when and where Rev. Goode removed to Tennessee, as well as where he and Sarah Osborn were married.
