Thank you

According to "Albemarle County in Virginia", by Rev. Edgar Woods, copyright
1901, it states: "The county of Goochland was formed in 1727, a little
more
than ten years after Gov. Spotswood's expedition to the Blue Ridge. The
first settlements within the present bounds of Albemarle were made while
they were still parts of that county and Hanover. They ascended the
courses
of the South Anna, the James, the Rivanna and the Hardware, and were met by
others proceeding from the foot of the Blue Ridge, and planted by
immigrants
who had come up the Valley, and crossed that mountain at Woods' Gap."
Frankly, I would look in Hanover, too.
