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.
