The progenitor of the Allgoods originating in Virginia appears to be Edward Allgood who immigrated to the colony in the 1600s, the first known record that mentions his name being made in 1669. His widow, Elizabeth, was named Executrix for his estate in January 1684/5 but she, too, died before March 1686/7.

Were there Allgood immigrants in other colonies?

Are those of the Alligood surname closely related to the Allgoods? Two men of the Alligood/Allegood surname have joined our project; but although they match each other, they do not seem to be closely related to the Allgoods.

Edward and Elizabeth had four children: William, Elizabeth, John and Richard. Of the sons, only William produced descendants as far as is known. John died at about the age of 23 or 24; so, he probably didn’t marry and have any children. Richard lived to adulthood, but little is known about him. Did he have a family?

William produced three sons: Edward (b. 24 Mar 1697/8), William (b. 30 Nov 1700), and John (b. about 1705). The baptisms of son Edward’s sons John (b. 30 Nov 1724) and Edward (b. 23 Dec 1730) are recorded, but he probably had others—perhaps William (c1722-1764) who married Mary Ann Hames and Ishmael (b. c1728)?

Who were the sons of William and John mentioned above?

Who were the fathers of fourth-generation Allgoods in Virginia such as Joshua, Moses, David, William (listed in the “First Census” of Virginia in Mecklenburg Co.), and John “Junior” of Mecklenburg Co. (also listed in that census)?

Who were the fathers of fifth-generation Allgoods in Virginia such as Samuel, Spencer, William “Sorrel,” and William “Pike”?

Did Edward (c1767-1820) and Elizabeth Hudson Allgood have eight sons--or only four?
