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.
