Notes - Thomas Goolsby was one of the earliest settlers within the present bounds of the county. In 1732, thirteen years bfore its organization, he patented twelve hundred acres on James River. In 1745 he sold more than five hundred acres to Samuel Shelton, and in the description of the deed are mentioned two tributaries of the James, called Homan’s and Goolsby’s Creeks. This deed is noteworthy also from a memorandum inscribed on it in 1788,showing that it had been previously recorded, but the record had been destroyed by the Bitish in 1781.
The earlier ancestry of Thomas is in question: there are several variations online! [1]
