Dear Mary, This is in response to your query regarding Goose Creek Monthly Meeting. There is a publication titled Quaker Records of South River Monthly Meeting, Virginia 1756-1800, by F. Edward Wright, published by Family Line Publications, Rear 63 East Main Street, Westminster, Maryland 21157, 1993, which states as follows: "South River began in 1754 as a Weekly Meeting of Cedar Creek Monthly Meeting. In October 1757 South River Monthly Meeting was formed, consisting of the Preparative meetings of South River and Goose Creek (not to be confused with Goose Creek Meeting of Loudoun Meeting). South River Meeting was held near the present city of Lynchburg. Goose Creek Meeting was held along the southern part of Goose Creek. Goose Creek Monthly Meeing was established in 1794, consisting of the meetings of Banister, Seneca and Hills Creek. South River and Goose Creek Monthly Meetigs covered the counties of Bedford and Campbell." I checked the index and no Patterson or Eidson was listed. Hinshaw includes a short history of Goose Creek Monthly Meeting and says that Goose Creek Monthly Meeting was about 10 miles southeast of Bedford City on Difficult Creek, a branch of Goose Creek, on the land of Elijah Turner and John Lewis. Hinshaw also did not list a Patterson or Eidson in the Goose Creek records. Best wishes, Robert N. Grant 15 Campo Bello Court Menlo Park, CA 94025 RNGrant@prodigy.com
