John Goode, l, ‘the immigrant’

Son of RICHARD GOODE & JOAN DOWNE

This Lineage is of the Goode- Penkeville lines that are incorrect on Geni-

Please note the following correct lines of these Goodes-

Notice:

It is an intolerable nuisance to not be able to get these profiles corrected properly.
There are too many Richards. I have a Master file that is absolutely correct of this Good- Penkeville line.

The ONE error is because of a profile which is RICHARD GOODE III- THAT is the error.

RICHARD GOODE III is actually the Brother of John Goode I-

THERE ARE ONLY 2 JOHN GOODES of these lines during that era. John Goode I & II-

Someone has created another one-

As I told you, there are too many generations. Here is the Master file, you can see on section15 where there is a missing Richard, then the real Richard is the brother, a different line, I kept trying to correct this, someone kept reverting it back-

JOHN GOODE, THE IMMIGRANT.

Person # 26.

BY far the larger number of the Goodes in America are descendants of JOHN GOODE, son of Richard Goode, of Cornwall, No. 21, who was born in England, probably either at Whitstone or Whitley, in the north of Cornwall, 1620-1630, and removed to Barbados, one of the Caribbee Islands, 1643-1650, and to Virginia prior to 1660. He settled at a place on the colonial frontier, four miles from the present site of Richmond, which he named Whitby1 (Whitley) in memory of his English home, and where he died in 1709, the proprietor of a considerable plantation. He married in Barbados, 1650-1660, a lady named Mackarness, who accompanied him to Virginia, where she soon died leaving one son, Samuel; …. subsequently he married Anne Bennet, who died prior to 1708. He had thirteen children : ….

Notes

• JOHN3 GOODE (RICHARD2, RICHARD1) was born 1613 in North of Cornwell England, and died 1709 in Virginia. Notes for JOHN GOODE: Came to America from Barbadoes and built his home on the James River near Richmond Va. iIn Nov. 1635, at the age of 22, he and 2 brothers embarked on the ship Expedition from Gravesend England to Barbadoes.
• "John Goode was born about 1632 as he swore he was 72 years of age in 1704 (Henrico County, Deeds and Wills, 1697-1704, p. 426)"
• Only Samuel and perhaps Frances were born in Barbados. The rest of John Goode's children were born at the family's Whitby plantation. John's first wife died shortly after they arrived in Virginia, after which he married Anne Bennett, Robert's mother.

Conflicting origins

• birth 1625 : in Cornwell England as the son of Richard Goode Jr, and the grandson of Richard Goode Sr and Joan Downe.
• birth 1632 : Whitby, Scarborough Borough, North Yorkshire, England (Mike Marshall’s Early Colonial Settlers)
• son of Richard GOODE \ GOAD b: 29 MAR 1617 in Urwich, Furness, Lancaster, England & Phoebe HEWES b: ABT 1620 in England
• birth about 1632 in Ufton, Berkshire, England, son of Robert Downe Goode and Frances Mary (Whitley) Goode (Wikitree - according to the award winning Colonial Chesapeake Families: British Origins and Descendants by Harrison Dwight Cavanagh.)
• Robert Downe Goode is not the father of Capt. john Goode the Barbadian. Richard Goode and Joan Downe are, per 'Virginia Cousins' by by G. Brown Goode, Pp. 23 and 34. This is an erroneous post in the family tree.

• John Goode and Anne Bennet came to America in 1649 and settled on the James near Richmond, VA. (The James River is near what we now call Richmond). They built a house and called the estate "Whitby" after the English town they left. Son Joseph born on the Whitby Estate.
• Old Rappahannock County, VA, became extinct in 1692 when it was divided into Essex and Richmond counties. Therefore, John d. in Essex County or in Richmond County.

John Goode (1620/36 Parish of Whitstone, Cornwall, England - 1 Apr 1709 Whitby Plantation, Henrico County, Virginia) Eng. to Barbados, Settled near Richmond, Va
---------------------------------------------------
John Goode, born 1630 in Cornwall, England; died 1708 in Henrico Co., VA. He was the son of Richard Goode and ?? Whitley. He married 749. Anne Bennett in Whitley, Chesterfield Co., VA. Anne Bennett, born Abt. 1632 in Holland; died Bef. 1708 in Whitby Plantation, Chesterfield Co., VA.
------------------------------------------------
John Goode was born at the Whitsen/Whitestone/Whitby estate in northern Cornwall, England, between 1620 and 1630. He went to Barbados between 1643 and 1650, and there he married Frances Mackanuss/Mackernuss. She was the daughter of either Jacob or William, two brothers who were living in St. Michael, Barbados. John moved to Virginia in 1658. He settled at a plantation on the colonial frontier about four miles from the present site of Richmond, which he named Whitby in memory of his English home. The house at Whitby was the first house built on the James River near Richmond. After the death of his first wife, John married Anne Bennett in 1666. He was no longer young, but they had eleven children. By 1690 Goode had acquired 688 acres of land in Henrico Co. and 2270 acres in Chesterfield Co. He died at Whitby in 1709. The old home was torn down after 1800. Sources: Lucy Durham Strickland Other: "Virginia Cousins", by G. Brown Goode # 26 of Virginia Cousins P.27

"John Goode the immigrant" P.30 Will of John Goode, 1709 After his arrival in Virginia, soon settled down into the occupation of a tobacco planter. After the death of his Barbadian wife, he married Anne Bennet, a recent arrival from Holland, who bore him 12 children, some of whom, including his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, were minors in 1708 when his will was drawn up, and were consequently born after 1687. "Old Virginia Houses Along The James" by Emmie Ferguson Farrar. "WHITBY", the ancestral home of the Goode family in Chesterfield County should be of considerable interest. John Goode, who came to Virginia from England in or about 1650, built Whitby on the James four miles below Richmond, in what is now Chesterfield Co. It was an English type of house, with dormer windows, and chimneys at each end. Horse racing was one of the chief interests and pleasures of the early family of the Goodes in Virginia. The first track in the county was at Whitby. The race horses, too, were a home product. Many racers were bred in Henrico County, especially in that part of it that is now Chesterfield County. John Goode's plantation consisted of five thousand acres. There is a Goode's Creek. Goode's Bridge across the Appomattox River had been destroyed during the Civil War, and some authorities claim that Lee's army forded the river, on the retreat to Appomattox; some suggest that a pontoon bridge was thrown across, but Maude Atkins Joyner says that Goode's Bridge has been rebuilt in time for Lee's army to cross over on it from Chesterfield into Amelia on the way to Appomattox. John Goode, who built Whitby, was married twice. He raised several sons and daughters. The Goode genealogy, in the Virginia State Library in Richmond, records more than five thousand descendants of John Goode. There are many distinguished citizens among them. Col. Robert Goode, of Whitby, led the County Militia against Tarleton's marauding troops during the Revolution. Whitby was burned during the Civil War. From VA Cousins, Whitby torn down in 1878, traditionally the first house built on the James River. Whitby lies nearly opposite "Powhattan", the seat of the Mayo family, the very place where Captain John Smith had his first interview with the great Indian "Werowance", whose descendants have in several instances intermarried with those of John Goode. John Goode: Died 2: Abt. 1709, Whitby, Old Rappahannock, VA Anne Bennett: Came to America in 1649. Lived on the James river near Richmond, VA. Called family home Whitby estate after home town in England.

John Goode acquired 688 acres in Henrico Co.& 2270 acres in Chesterfield Co. Plantation was called Whitby that ajoined lands owned by William Bryd.John at one time owned 5000 acres. m1-Martha Frances Mackerness b.ca.1630 England.d.ca.1665 Henrico Co.(m-1645/50 in Barbados)d/o Jacob or William Meckerness. m2 Ann Bennett ca.1667 b.ca.1650 Holland.d/o pos.Richard & Mary Ann (Utie) Bennett.
