Shirley - I think your suggestion is correct - I will be looking at a LOT  
of microfilm.
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.
