Jack & Jim:
You have posted a lot of information and it will take me some time to comment and add to all of it so excuse me if it takes multiple replies to comment but here are some issues that jump out.
1) It has always bothered me about the sources of the exact birth dates of the children of Abraham and Elizabeth Goodding.I always assumed that someone had family Bibles but have not found the sources.At this time I can only identify the source for two children:son Cornelius(d 14 Jan 1834, 66 yrs)- a tombstone inscription(Union Hill Cemetery, Millstadt Twp., St. Clair Co., IL); sonRichard(19 March 1772 - 10 May 1822) - Family Bible in the Library of Virginia.Please note that if your date for John is correct then he and Richard are twins!!I would like to know any more information you have on the source of your date for John since he is in my line also.
2) John Gooding almost certainly died in Fleming Co., KY.As Jim noted and he and I have discussed in the past there really is no other reasonable explanation.An inventory of his estate in Fleming Co. is reported with the date 11 June 1814.It is also clear that his widow Frances and his children participated in the family migration to St. Clair Co., IL.I would like to know any more information you have on the source of your death date for him.
3) You have that Frances Gooding, wife of John, is buried in St. Clair Co.I would question this.The John Gooding family migrated away from St. Clair Co., some north to Adams Co., IL and some to Putnam Co., IN.The 1850 Census of Melrose Twp., Adams Co., IL has Frances Gooding age 70 born in KY living with Sarah B. Cox (her daughter and widow of Matthew Cox).It does not appear reasonable that they would have taken her back to St. Clair Co. for burial.I would like to know any more information you have on the source of your date for her death.
4) Jim has covered Isaac's family in great detail so I won't pick at that too much other than to say that Jim and I disagree on Isaac's first wife, Margaret's death.She most likely did not die in 1815.Deed records would indicate a few years later.
5) I can comment on John and Frances' daughter Elizabeth that married Nathan Cox.As Jim stated Nathan along with Matthew are sons of Thomas and Ruth Cox.Thomas is most likely the Thomas Cox of Mercer Co., KY.Ruth is most likely Ruth Bonham the daughter of Elijah and Phoebe(Harlan) Bonham although other Cox families of Knox Co. also claim her.Please note that there were at least 3 Thomas Coxes in the 1810 Census in KY.The one at issue here appears to be the one found in Mercer Co. from the research I have done on this family.
6) One issue that you both bring up is the migration of Abraham Goodding and thus the birth places of his children.As has already been discussed the family at least starting in 1782 is in that part of Montgomery Co., VA that became Wythe Co.Prior to that it is less clear.There is an Abraham Gooding in the Rockbridge Co., VA Tithables in 1778 and an Abraham Gooding witnesses a deed in Augusta Co., VA in 1761.Rockbridge was formed from Augusta in 1778.It is not clear from this as to whether the family moved or not during this time period but my guess is that they did.
