"Samuel Goode--he of the second generation," wrote the Rev. Dr. Goode, "married Miss Jones. An incident told me by my mother, illustrates the rudeness of the times in which they lived. Indians were numerous and frequently annoyed them. Samuel Goode, our progenitor, was fearless and decided, keeping them in awe, and when occasion required, driving them from his home. Old Mr. Jones, his father-in-law, was timid and yielding, and this led them to trouble his family all the more. At length, in the absence of all but a grown son and daughter, an attack was made by several Indians, which culiminated in a hand-to-hand fight in the house, between young Jones and an Indian man. Jones was wounded and fainting with a loss of blood. Still, he mastered the Indian, and seizing his long hair and winding it around a bedpost, he held him fast until his sister despatched him with a tomahawk. This done he said: 'I have done what I can for you,' and expired" (Virginia Cousins: A Study of the Ancestry and Posterity of John Goode of Whitby, George Brown Goode, Richmond, Virginia, J.W. Randolph & English, 1887, p. 36).
