The Powhatan Goodes: 59. Bennet Goode of "Fine Creek" Powhatan County, Virginia, son of No. 34 (Virginia Cousins, p. 43).
34 was born in Chesterfield Co., 1700-20, removed with his mother to Mecklenburg County, and subsequently settled in Powhatan, where he was a prosperous planter. Married about 1740, Martha Jefferson, of "*Osbornes," aunt of Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States. Children :-109, John Goode, b. 1743, d. 1834, Bennet, b. 1744-6, d. 1812-16. 111, A daughter, m. Mr. Henderson and moved to Kentucky. 112, A daughter, m. Mr. Saunders of Lynchburg, d. s. p. 113. A daughter m. Mr. Baskerville, of Dinwiddie Co. 114, A daughter, m. Mr. Royster, and removed to Dinwiddie Co. 115, Martha, m. Charles Povall. 116, William, b. 1765 (Virginia Cousins, p. 44).
Bennet Goode settled first at a place in Powhatan Co., near the mouth of Genito Creek, doubtless the spot referred to in the Colonial Statutes of 1842, establishing a ferry "from the land of Bennett Goode, across the James River to the land of Col. John Flemming, in Goochland Co." This he sold in 1758-9, to a man named Jude, and it has since been known as " Jude's Ferry." He then removed to a place on "Fine Creek," about five miles distant, which was inherited by his son John. Sept. 5, 1768, 369 acres in Goochland Co., were granted to Bennet Goode.* Goochland at that time included what became, in 1777, Powhatan County (Virginia Cousins, p. 44).
Like his elder brother, Bennet Goode found his bride at "Osbornes,'' a hamlet on the James River, fifteen miles below Whitby, where his boyhood was passed. The Jefferson Family of Virginia, were from Wales. Their ancestor emigrated from near Mount Snowdon, and was a representative of Flower de Hundred in the Colonial Assembly, convened July 30, 1619, in the choir of the church at Jamestown. His grandson lived at "Osbornes," and had five children: 1, Thomas, d. yg. 2, Field, who emigrated to a place on the Roanoke, near the Carolina line. 3. Col. Peter, b. Feb. 29, 1708, m. 1738, Jane Randolph; began life as a surveyor, settled in "Shadwell," an estate including the present site of " Monticello. (An estimate of his character is given in Randall's Life of Thomas Jefferson, p. 13). 4, Martha, m. Bennet Goode, and 5, Mary m. Wm. Turpin, great grandfather of Gen. Edward Johnson, C. S. A., uncle of Mary Turpin Goode, No. 34. Col. Peter Jefferson's daughter Mary was grandmother of the wife of Col. Francis Goode, No. 91 (Virginia Cousins, p. 44).
