Since your post is fairly old, you may have already found this information, but, just in case...
I don't know a lot about the Mahood family, other than what I found mostly in Bible records at the Library of Va Archives & Manuscripts Collection, as I am researching the Ellis family.
You will find the records by doing a search for "Mahood" in that database.
Found in the Mahood bible, 1763-1924
