Abraham's will was written on March 7, 1733 in Richmond Co, VA and proved July 1, 1734 after his death on April 11, 1734. The Goad family of Virginia was descended from this Abraham Goad who wrote his will in 1733. Little is known about Abraham. He was said to be in Lancaster County, Virginia by 1682 and it is known that he was married to Katherine Williams sometime before 1693, which is the date of the birth of their first child. He is thought to have settled on Moratico Creek on the north bank of the Rappahannock River with the Smiths after marrying Katherine. More is known of his wife's background than of his. His wife was Katherine Williams, daughter of John and Eve Williams. Abraham Goad was in Lancaster Co, by 1682 and moved a little further up the Northern Neck into Richmond Co (formed in 1692 from Old Rappahannoc) where he married Katherine Williams, date uncertain, but likely in the very early 1690's. For Abraham to appear in any record by 1682 would seem to indicate his birth prior to 1665 so he was likely at least seventy years of age at his death in 1734.
