Signed Sam'll ( ) Burk Recorded 17 Aug 1730
GOOCHLAND -- formed from western HENRICO and lying on both
sides of the James River and extending to the Blue Ridge. In
the 1720s the area which was to comprise Goochland Co.had become
a real "melting pot." Obviously, the bulk of the settlers had
been there for some time, while it was still Henrico; but it
also drew heavily from Hanover, Caroline, and the upper Middle
Neck, as well as The Peninsula counties. Goochland's
attractiveness was the fact that it was on both sides of the
river. Bear in mind that rivers continued to be seen as
economic life-lines. Tobacco remained virtually the sole cash
crop, but it still had to be grown in large quantities to be
profitable. It was measured by weight, but ease of
transportation required that it take up as little volume as
possible. It had long been packed and pressed into casks called
"hogsheads," each weighing 500-600 lbs. An iron bar was
then inserted from one end to the other to serve as an axle.
The hogshead was hitched to a team of draft animals -- usually
oxen -- and literally rolled to the nearest waterway; hence the
term "rolling road." Even above its falls, the James River had
sufficient depth for fair-size boats, on which hogsheads could
be transhipped.

"George Alvis married, in Virginia, Alice the widow of William
Harris. He received a large grant of land in that part of New
Kent, which later became Hanover County; and was a Vestryman of
St. Paul's Parish. There is a record, in 1735, in Hanover
County, that Jane, the wife of Martin Slaughter, Elizabeth, the
wife of Samuel McGehee and Susan, the wife of Robert King, sold
288 acre to Isaac Winston, which they had inherited from their
mother, Susan Ellett. The land was deeded to Susan Ellett by
George Alvis, in 1688. It may be that George Alvis is the
connecting link between the Ellett and the Dabney Families."
