THE QOOCH FAMILY
SIR WILLIAM GOOCH.
-ilcutenant-Goveriior of Virginia, 1715.
Ve take the name and family of Gooch,
one that was early honored by Queen
no, who created In 17-tfi, William Gooch,
baronet, and appointed him Llouten
t-Governor of tho colony of Virginia.
1727, tho Colonial Legislature had til
vly cut off a part of llcnrlco county,
id bestowed his name upon It by calling
; In the old Scotch brough, Gough or
buchtend. Tho name Itself was quito
I ancient one In Englnnd, being first
ind us John-fil Guch, und In the Writs
Parliament,?, timo 1S02, as, Evan-ap
uch.
'ho certificato of a notary public, sign
In Scotland, 1762, writes: "John Hun
of tho Parish of Gowkland, In the
vinco of Virginia," hut the name was
mded for Goochland, which at that
time reached from Henrlco to the Blue
Bldge, and through which, along the
James River, noar tho chief stago road
from Richmond to Charlottesvllle.
The lineage of the Gooch family In Eng?
land begins In 1651, when we find Wil?
liam Gooch, as living In Melllnghamshlre,
England, as Justice of tho peace. He
married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of
Richard Baspoole, of that county. He
had two sons, Richard, who predeceased
him, and Thomas Gooch, who married In
1CS2, Frances, daughter and co-helr of
miomas Lane, of "VVorlington, Suffolk
county, by whom two sons, and two
daughters. Ho died In 1CS8. The second
ron, William Gooch, born October 21, 1CS4,
having adopted tho profession of arms.
distinguished himself during the wars of
Queen ????, and being appointed' Lleu
tennnt-Governor of Virginia, was created
a baronet November 4, 1746, with remain?
der (in default of male issue), to his
brother, and tho heirs male of that gen?
tleman. Sir William died without pos?
terity, In 1751, whon tho title devolved
according to limitation, upon his brother,
tho Right Rev, Thomas Gooch, president
and vicc-chancelor of Cain's College,
Cambridge, 1717; bishop of Bristol, 1737;
bishop of Norwich, 173S, and bishop of
Ely, 1747. His Lordship married first, a
sister of the Right Rev. Thomas Sher?
lock, bishop of London, hy whom a son.
Thomas, his successor; second, ho mar?
ried Harriet, daughter of Sir Thomas
alliier, by whom ho had lsa;<e.
It Is useless that we continue tho long
English succession, but will turn to tho '
family in Virginia, who have been numer?
ous.
Although Governor Gooch left no chil?
dren, yet it is believed, that the family
sprang hero through some- of his broth?
er's children, who cams over to Virginia
soon after his death, and settled In the
county of Hanover. .William Gooch Is
the first recorded as having removed
from Hanover to Albemarle In 1751 and
bought land near Everettesvllle, which
he afterwards sold and moved to Am?
tierst, ?
Another William Gooch is also said to
havo made largo purchases In 1770, on or
near tho Ivy Creek. He died 1706, leaving
a family of ten children, some of whom
moved out of the Stat-5, but others re?
mained, and their descendants are still
with us. One of his sons, Clalborne
Gooch, .moved to Richmond, and became
adjutant-general of tho State. He was
quito talent-3d. and at one time was asso,
elated with Thomas Richie In publishing
tho Richmond Enquirer. Another of Wil?
liam Gooch's sons, Thomas W.. Gooch,
settled near Ivy Depot, and kept tavern
near tho celebrated D, S. Church, ro?
mains of which are still standing. Ho
died In 1S3S, leaving three sons, w'ho
settled and murried In tho county, and
their children became quita conspicuous
during the Confetlorato war, Willis and
Octavius Gooch. being members of tho
noted "Albemarle Light Horse" troop.
On* of tho brothers of tho gallant band
of Goodies, Mr. Alonzo Gooch, still lives
to represent this branch of tho family.
There was also a very noted and humor?
ous Dr. William F. Gooch, grandson of

"What Is tho meaning of the letters
"or," "az," "gu," "sa," "ar," etc., In de?
scribing the coat-of-arms In the genea?

They are heraldic abbreviations for the
Various tints used In coloring tho Arms.
"Or" stands for orange (yellow), "az" for
azure (blue), "sa" for sable (dark), "gu'
for guio (red). In ff'vlng the text derc.lb

usually done In heraldic' language, occu?

any one familiar with Uh .elenco readily
understands.
THE WINSTON? FAMILY AGAIN.
The .wr'ter of the genealogical Column
admits that ho is not Infalible on all that
pertains to tho families of Virginia, but
many of the errors, omissions and com?
missions, attributed to h'm by descend?
ants of the "F. F. V.'s" are typographic ?1.
and he has been made to bear the sins of
the 1 printer. Yet, no .acknowledges to
some, attributable to .haste or more re?
liable authority.
Regarding the'^WIrfston family ho tins
received recently some new evidence
which Is here given.
First. He thanks Mr. John Symo-Hogtie,
of Charleston, W'? Va., for corrections,
and the descendants added. But the types
made him say "Luck" for Lucy and
"Lyvo" for Syme.
Bishop M'eade also gives reference to tho
Syme family, and he was not wholly igno?
rant of the name.
Thanks are also duo to "P. B, P." for
corrections and for tho information -which
was desired, and which now odds comple?
tion'to the family history, especially the
connections with the Dabneys, Prices,
Rossers and others. Such facts are what
the Genealogical Column, desires to draw
out.
From an esteemed correspondent of 73
years old we have the following:
"My great-great-grandfather was Major
Isaac Winston, of the Revolutionary war.
He had three sons, William, James nnd
L'dmund and two daughters, on/O who
married a Price, and ono a Henry, who
was tho mother of Patrick Henry. The
oldest son married Miss Harris; the sec?
ond son Miss Salile Taylor, They left
tnreo sons und two daughters. One
daughter married Into the Woodfolk fam.
ily. and left a largo number of descen?
dants. The oldest son, James died with?
out issue, The second, William Darracott
Winston, married Mrs. Elizabeth Darro
cott. They left three children, Ann Ter?
rei, the oldest married Jnmcs Cheny, a
merchant of Richmond; the second. Salilo
E., married John R, Tnylor, clerk of
Hanover county. Tho youngest son Wil?
liam D. Winston, was killed at tho
bufile of Sharnsburg; he nrirrtcd Miss
Vaughn, and left threo children. My
father, W, V. Wnston, was a lawyer. He
leprepented Hanover county In 1848 for
four years In the House and two years
in the Senate. He was a Whig, and a
great lover of Henry Clay, who was a
personal friend. Edmund Winston mar?
ried Miss.Terrei, nnd had four daugh ers
and ono son. Tho first daughter married
.onn Woodfolk: second daughtor married
Mr. Morris; third daughter married Dr.
James Gregory; fourth daughter married
N. B. CO?lto, The only son 'Edmund T.
Winston, married Saille Winston, of
Courtland, daughter of William O. Win?
ston, clerk of Hanover county,"
We also stato In correction that the
"Isaac Winston of Culnopor coun'y" Is
the grandson of Isaac Winston and Mary
Ann Fontaine. Major Joseph Winston
was not the eon of Anthony Winston;
his father was Samuel Winston, of
Louisa county, Va. Mr. Frederick Wln
Fton, of Chicago is, wo learn, an old man
of larc-o Ileana und Is not now city nttor
rey of Chicago. There Is a fui] record of
all of Isaac Winston's descendants In
nosso?"dnn of Captain Isano Winston, of
the United States Coast Survey, Wash?
ington, D, C, whose father grandfather
nnd Kroit-grnndfatrcr lived In Alib-mt,
?being"tho descendant of Anthony Winston,

Slr,?Havlng conti the record of tho
"Skipwith Family of Virginia," published
In your Issue of November 1.1th, nnd hav.
Ing In my possession another record of
that family, kopt among tho descendants
of tho younger 8nns H,ul the daughters
of the first Bnron Skipwith, who camo

tho two accounts, which muy ho of In?
terest to E. C. M, ?

of the tima," lits name may bo found
In tho Roll of Bnttln Abboy and, in the
copy of tint document in Uiq State
Library nt Itlchmontl.
Tho next (llHompancy occurs In tho
history of the bironet who "emigrated
to Virginia umlor tho usurpation of
Cromwell." According to E, C. M.'s
account, this bnronot was a Sir Grey
Skipwith, who was succeeded (presumably
in \rlrglnla) by a son, Sir William, and
a grundsfin, Sir Gi-ey, of whom nothing
seems to bo known except that -they

Charles tho First, Ho was a friend and
follower of that monarch, and to savo
his lite left England witli_many other
cavaliers. Sir William lived near Peters
burg, and was manager for many years
or Brandon' (owned by Mr. Harrison).
This Sir William may bo Identical with
tho Sir William of 0. C. M.'s account,
who "lived at Prestwould," but It Is ?
far cry from Mecklenburg to Brandon
on the James, and very dlfllcu.lt to recon?
cile with tho above statement of the
employment, of tho needy refugee. I
should like to hear from E'. C. M. on this
point.
The record I havo quoted Is In tho
handwriting of my mother, Leila Skip
with Harrison, ?? 'great-granddaughter
of tho Sir William "who fled to this couii
try after the death of ? Charles First,"
She doubtless had It from her mother,
his grand-daughter, who would certainly
have known such a prominent fact In tho
life of her grandfather. Moreover, at the
llnv> my mother copied tho record, In
1853, her own uncle, William Sklpwlth,
of Hors-du-Mundo, was still living and
In good health, Tie was grandson to tho
refugee baronet und would havo been able
to correct any errors In her account,
From tho time of tl'f Sir William who
"lived near Petersburg" and tho other
(or the same?) Sir' William who "lived
ut Prestwould," the records nearly agree.
G quoto from mino; "Sir William had
throe sons, Peyton, notiert and Henri",
fola? daughters. Peyton married Mls<i
Miller, a Scotch lady. His eldest son,
Sir Orey, went to Engjnnd alidi becamu
ho|r to Sir Thomas Sklpwlth,. of New
bold Hall, Warwickshire," tho title hnv.
Ing apparently pnssed to an English
relativo during tlw absence of the family
in this country. K. 0, M. only takes
cognizance of tho lino of Peyton. Of tli?
younger sons of Sir William, the cava?
lier, ond of his four daughters, who all
married ond settled In Virginia, ho makes
no note. Thoy were, however, the pro.
/renltors of many well known families?
the Sklpwlths of powhatun county, tho
fluffing, Handoiphs (of Cluitsworth), Har?
risons, Coches, Gordons; nnd many
others. Edmund Ilullln, of Fort Suinter
fame, was a descendant of .lano Skip
with. (U-fi daughter ?f Sir William, who
married Edmund Ituflln, of Cogglns'
Point. Hubert, the f?cond son, "mar?
ried Miss Nicholas, and from him are
descended Hu? sklpwlilis of Powimtan,
Henry Bkipwlth, tlm youngest son of Sir
William, married Miss Wayles (sister of
Mrs. Thomas Jet'foison),..und had issue:
Elisabeth, died single; William, of Hors
