In 1762 as Edward Goode of Lunenburg County, he bought 780 acres on the south side of Kitts Creek from Joseph Gill.  Among the witnesses to the indenture was his posited nephew Edward Goode Hatcher.

Edward died intestate and his heirs gave a power of attorney to two individuals to sell his 760-acres estate and distribute the proceeds in 1796.  All five sons - Edward, Richard, Joseph, John, Thomas - were then in Rutherford County, North Carolina, Mary Fontaine and her husband were in Halifax County, Elizabeth and William Wood were in South Carolina, and Judith and Agnes Goode were still living in Mecklenburg County.  Jane, who had married Philip Poindexter, was dead by then and did not share in the distribution..
