About us
This project solicits samples from men who have good documented linages connecting them to one of the major lines of the Gooch family that settled in Virginia; most with roots in the Hanover County region. These lines include: John Gooch of Caroline, VA (born c1705); William Gooch of Albemarle, VA (born c1717); William Gooch of Caswell Co, NC (born c1714); Thomas Gooch of McNairy Co., TN (born c1790); Stephen Gooch (born c1750); Thomas Gooch of Louisa Co., VA (born c1750); Rowland Gooch of Louisa (born c1740); and Billy Gosling Gooch (born c1745).
To date we have samples for:
John Gooch of Carolina (2 samples)
William Gooch of Albemarle (4 samples)
William Gooch of Caswell (2 samples)
Stephen Gooch (1 sample)
Rowland Gooch (2 samples)
With the success of obtaining samples from most of the key family groups, this project can now take samples from any line by the same name or one of the common variants (Gough, Gouge, Goffe).
We would like to solicit samples from English families with the surname, especially if they have documented lineages that stretch back to the 17th century.
