This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Woodson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/WBC.2ACI/2285.2.1.1.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: JOHN WOODSON and his wife Sarah came to VA, 1619, in the George and settled at Flowerdew Hundred, known by Feb. 1624/5, when the muster was taken, as Peirsey's Hundred. They had been fellow passengers on the ship with Governor Sir George Yeardley and his wife Temperance Flowerdew, Lady Yeardley. No further documentary evidence has been found relating to them until 1660. a family account written about 1785 by Charles Woodson (1711-~1795), son of Tarleton Woodson, however, survives and supplies details which link the first generations of Woodsons and Robert Woodson, John Woodson, Senr., and John Woodson, Junr." who were among the tithables at Curles, 1679. Tradition states that John Woodson was killed in the Indian massacre of 18 April 1644. His children were very young and Mrs. Sarah Woodson soon remarried (2) ___ Dunwell, who died leaving her with a daughter Elizabeth, and (3) ___ Johnson. As a widow again she left a combination inventory and nuncupative will which was recorded 17 Jan 1660/1. This made bequests to John Woodson, Robert Woodson, Deborah Woodson (apparently under age) and Elizabeth Dunwell (under age). John Woodson was the implied executor.

Wills Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBC.2ACI/2920 Message Board Post: Hi from Shropshire in England I have recently been researching a branch of my family - the Goodsons from Kidlington in Oxfordshire and from what I can gather Martha Goodson (b.1786, Oxfordshire) arrived in Richmond Virginia in the 1830s with several of her children; Caroline, Emma, Adolphus, Edgar and Vincent who all lived in Henrico Co. in the 1840s and 1850s. Two other daughters Matilda (m. Henry Norgrove in England in 1834) and Harriett (m. 1 William Perry in England in 1829 and 2. William Dalton in Richmond area) also came some with their children. Vincent Goodson served with the Confederacy and died in 1897. He and his brother Edgar and brother in law William Dalton were printers. Edgar and Vincent both married Virginia girls. Matilda and her husband Henry Norgrove lived in Lexington where Henry was a tailor and lost 2 sons in the Civil War. I would be grateful if anyone out there has information on the family, particularly when they arrived.

could you give us more details on what these documents said for the locations on the south side of the James, or where the plantation was? Landmarks, adjoining whose property? We might be able to help you. Their dates? The Old Indian Town might be Manakin Town, just outside Richmond, it was named for the Monacan Indians who used to live there. Later it was settled by a large group of French Huguenots. It's still called Manakintown, with a Manakintown Ferry Road, etc. What location do these documents give for the plantation?

Dear Listers, I am on a mission to accomplish the goal of reaching out to families who have ancestors buried in Evergreen Cemetery located in Richmond,VA. My goal is to enlist them in a mission to ensure that the graves are cared for. This is not a city owned property and the families are responsible for the upkeep. The cemetery is a historic African-American cemetery and is in constant threat of overgrown greenery and has suffored vandalism. Numerous attempts have been made to maintain this cemetery; however, nothing consistant that involved more than one determined individual with no familial ties to the cemetery to show the interred the respect they are due. So, if anyone out there is with me on this, contact me and let's get to work.
