The goal of this database is to try and establish if the various Gooch families found in 17th and 18th century Virginia are related to a common ancestor or if results might suggest that there were several unrelated Gooch emigrants to Virginia. Additionally, this might help clarify if families that used the spellings Gough and Goffe are also related.

My Gooch line is found in early 18th century Caroline County, Virginia and settled in Granville County, North Carolina just after the American Revolution.
