This entry is included here because there seems to be few Abraham GOAD/GOADE/GOARD/GOODs listed anywhere in the 17th century of Virginia and because there seems (at least so far) to be no listing for Abraham in Richmond or Lancaster counties between 1674 and 1680.

 It appears that an Abraham GOAD was a "freeholder" rather than a "house keeper" at this time. If so, he may have been working and living in other areas at times. Glouster County is south of Lancaster County, with the Piankatatank and Rappahannock rivers and Middlesex County lying between them. Other counties in the area worthy of searching for data might be King and Queen County and Mathews County, south of the Rappahannock, and Northumberland County and Westmoreland County, north of the Rappahannock.
