They picked up native wives as the area where they lived was known to be Nottoway Cheraw lands.

There were four Theophilus Goodwins on census records by the 1790 time period, all were different people. This one was mentioned in his father in law's will, George Wyche, Sr whose will was recorded Oct 5, 1753 mentioning land in both Surry and in Brunswick Co, Va. This same Theophilus made his deed of gift to 4 sons on Dec 6, 1757 and named them as Thomas, John, Henry, and Theophilus, Jr. Source: Judge Goodwin's Book called The Goodwin Families In America by Judge John S.
