Jim, I have come to the conclusion that the Woolams in the Goochland/Louisa County area are of English descent. I have noproof of this, only assumptions. The name "Woolams" and "Wooloms"are fairly prevalent in England today, but I have not seen the name connected to Scotch/Irish records. Secondly, the Woolams in Virginia appear to have been living near Williamsburg, Virginia as early as 1700 and possibly before. This would seem to indicate immigration from England. Maybe someone out there has better information and can enlighten us.
