This information from Morton's book has been made highly doubtful by the
discovery of Judy Jennings of a death record for my Melinda/Verlinda
Carrico Wotring. In Richmond, Va., Judy unearthed a death record which
states that Melinda's parents were Peter and Catherine Carrico.
Morton's informant was advanced in years and info could have been
confused between the two men. No one that I know has ever found a
Francis Carrico of the plausible age.

Hi Linda, I've been reading all of your Carrico messages posted at Carrico-L(a)rootsweb.com and have really enjoyed your in depth research. I've tried to find your email address and found one for you but it was dated back to 2001 so I assume it has changed since then. I'm a decendant of the first Cornelius Carrico who married Susannah Shanks by way of their son Edward and his wife Matilda Dillehay. I would really like to correspond with you directly if you would allow it. I can be reached at djcarric(a)bellsouth.net. I'm located in Louisville, Ky and was raised in Springfield, Washington Co Ky where many of the Carrico's settled from Maryland. I've hit a brick wall on determining Cornelius's parents and was wondering if you might have any suggestions. I've even thought about traveling to Maryland to see what I could dig up but don't have the fogiest idea where I would start. So I'm hoping you might take pity on and old cousin and guide me. Hears hoping to hear from you. Don Car!

Here is something that I have
6. JAMES6 GOFF (THIEL5, WILLIAM4 GOFFE, RICHARD3, WILLIAM2, STEPHEN1) was
born February 04, 1734/35 in England, and died January 06, 1834 in Preston,
West Virginia. He married (1) MARY EUNICE JOHNSON, daughter of GARRETT JOHNSON
and JUDITH. He married (2) CATHERINE CARRICO Abt. 1783, daughter of
BARTHOLOMEW CARRICO.
Notes for JAMES GOFF:
James Goff, the eldest of the four brothers, had emigrated to Maryland
before the Revolution and by some chance associated himself and accompanied Robert
Johnson and his brothers and sisters to what is now Garrett County,
Maryland, and by the way, just across the line (a boundary of which is the Fairfax
Stone) from the point of his final settlement on Cheat River. Robert Johnson
served with the Maryland ranks in the Revolutionary War. While the Johnson
family sojourned in Garrett County, Maryland, it is confidently believed that
James Goff married Mary Eunice Johnson, sister of Robert Johnson, and daughter
of Garrett and Judith Johnson of Hopewell, New Jersey. Garrett Johnson was
the son of one of New Jersey's earliest settlers, Rutger Johnson (Rut
Jansean) and Annetji (Gerritt) Johnson, who were pioneers in Somerset County. It
looks very much like Garrett Johnson, the father of Robert and Mary E. Johnson,
was living and headed his family in the immigration to what is not Garrett
County, Maryland. After the death of the parents, the children all grown and
mostly married, may have combined loses with representatives of the Huffman,
Woodford, Hathaway, and Poling families and wandered into Loudon county,
Virginia and a little later, about the year 1788 followed the trail of the Goffs
to the western waters, perhaps influenced by Mary E. Goff herself. At any
rate, they came together and established the settlement of Johnson's Mill Run
in what is now Barbour County, West Virginia. The descendants of these
families have spread into every nook and cranny of the United States and are
recognized as the best of citizens where ever found. Joseph Johnson, Governor of
Virginia, and Andrew Johnson, 18th President of the United States were
descendants of these Johnsons.
As the four brothers are known to have kept together in their pioneering,
their advent to August County could scarcely have been later than 1762 or 1763.
According to official evidence, they were with Captain James Parsons and
his little band of pioneers when the first improvements were made on the Cheat
River. This region, high up in the blue sky, had first been discovered in
1762 by Captain Parsons, it is said, who had been captured by Indians in Hardy
County, escaped from them in Ohio, and found his way home by traveling
through what is now Tucker County. He became lost in this area and had much
difficulty in finding a river that flowed eastward which he knew would guide him
home to what is now Moorefield, Hardy County (then Hampshire). By accident, he
found himself on a river flowing northwestward so very near the clouds
(Cheat River) and struck with the wild beauty of the surrounding country, never
before witnessed by a white man, he resolved, if successful in finding his way
back to the settlements that he would return to this land of the gods. After
arriving back at the South Branch, he gave glowing accounts of the majesty
of the country he had just passed through to all who would listen. He then
organized and led a little band of relatives and friends on an exploring
expedition, rather than for the purpose of making a permanent settlement. (One
historian states this wasn't until 1769 however) Captain James Parsons and his
brother Thomas Parsons assumed claim to the land within the Horseshoe Bend and
all the adjacent flat land. They made no more than a temporary shelter but
went about clearing and improving their lands, staying awhile on them, then
returning to the South Branch for a time, before returning to their claims.
Thus they alternated their time for the next five years, wearing out several
horses with their frequent journeys between the South Branch and Cheat River.
Their trail followed the North Branch of the Potomac River, across Backbone
Mountain to Horseshoe Run and down the Seneca Trail to their destination.
They shoed their horses backwards, toes behind an tines in front so Indian
trackers would think they were traveling in the opposite direction.
Captain James Parsons is said to have invited a very prominent German of the
South Branch, John Minear, to share his discoveries. Minear organized a
part of 40 or more lusty pioneers to the Horseshoe Bend of Cheat River in March
1774, though he had visited the region the year before. Apparently, three of
the four Goff brothers (James, John Turton and Salathiel) were in this
expedition. We know that James Goff was in this settlement because there is
record of a bill made out by him in 1774 for building a house for one Mary Combes.
A fort for protection against the Indians was erected on Minear's claim at
the Horseshoe Bend. This was more in the form of a substantial log house,
large enough to accommodate his whole party and their families in case of
necessity. Clearing was begun and the seasonal crops planted, while every
precaution War taken against Indian attack. By mid-summer, rumors began to pour in
respecting the war-like activities of the Indians, and the measures being
taken by the Governor of the colony, Lord Dunmore, to forestall invasions, and
in the muster of the militia for an expedition against them. The plight of
the little band of settlers, far away from adequate protection, and only a
short distance from one of the recognized Indian trails from east to west, became
apparent to these rugged men of the forest who may have had no fear for
themselves, but who recognized the danger to which their families were daily
exposed. It was this arranged to evacuate the land when the fall crops were
gathers. Sacrificing many of their belongings and carrying away those of most
value, these sturdy pioneers turned their faces toward Moorefield, resolved to
return when the situation changes. The Battle of Point Pleasant War fought
and the Revolution was on, but many of them did not wait for the close of the
Revolution. They wandered back to the Cheat River. Captain Parsons took
possession at the Horseshoe Bend, doubtless because of his prior claim, while
John Minear proceeded to what is now St. George, Tucker County, where he build
a more substantial fort and reorganized his followers.
Fort Minear was a two-story log structure, with logs hawed and mortised so
that they fit tightly together, and upon one another. The chimney was on the
inside and there were no windows, although some portholes were cut in the
upper story to admit light and shoot through. Wood blocks were made to fit the
portholes so that they could be closed for winter and when otherwise desired.
The door was made of puncheon so thick bullets could not pass through. The
fort was surrounded by a stockade, a square of heavy posts, planted firmly
in the ground, fitted closely together, and rising about 12 feet high. The
enclosure covered over a quarter of an acre.
At Minear's Fort, a contingent of militia was formed under Colonel Booth and
constant and effective service rendered the whole Monongahela and Cheat
region. This post was on the extreme southeastern extremity of western frontier
forts, and commanded two old and important Indian trails from the Potomac
River to the western waters. Constant communication and scouting was done
between Bush's, West's, Tygart's, Nutter's and those forts further down river.
Looking forward confidently to the successful outcome of the Revolution, the
settlers along Cheat River filed claims for patents to their improvements.
The Goff, prior to the formation of Hardy County, perhaps, and with the first
year's assessments in the new county, were charged with 45 and 65 acres of
land near Moorefield, presumably as a sort of foothold in case anything
slipped on Cheat. This assessment continued until 1800.
James Goff, the eldest of the four brothers, and his wife Mary Johnson Goff
settled within the present Tucker County, near the Preston County line. They
were a very thrifty young couple and resided in a well-kept pioneer home.
During the Indian disturbances, they were visited and their home burned and
many of their possession destroyed or carried away. Shortly, James received
another reverse more disastrous than the first, Mary was taken by death. He
never fully recovered from these misfortunes and thenceforth lived in a sort of
hand to mouth and day to day existence. He married again, and in 1783,
bough a very valuable tract of land, at Chambers Bottom, just within what is now
the Preston County border, from a Mr. Jordan. Here he erected a cabin, not
even providing the customary "punchion" floor, using the mother earth as a
carpet. His second wife was Catherine Carrico, and out of credit, let it be
said that his form of simple life was never approved by her, but rather from her
husbands determination to never provide the savages with another home and
valuable appurtenances to destroy. He lived a narrow, miserly life
henceforward.
James Goff worked incessantly on his farm and always had corn to sell. His
price was at the uniform rate of 50 cents a bushel; and, no matter what
others sold at, he would take nothing more or less than his price. They ate bread
and meat at his house. This diet was unvaried, except when a pot of
"greens" - a dish of some plant cooked - War substituted for meat, or a kettle of
corn meal mush took place of the bread. All were welcome to the hospitalities
of his cabin, although a stranger might have though the family rough in
manners. They did not mean to be rude. They were also open in their actions.
Indeed, the eastern land agent, who stopped there overnight must have thought
them so. He sat by the fire talking and wondering where supper was coming from.
He could see no preparations for the evening meal, except a big pot a one
end of the fireplace, where Mrs. Goff sat stirring the kettle's contents. At
length, it was carried to the central part of the floor, a gourd of milk
emptied into it and a dozen wooden spoons were provided. While the hungry
stranger was watching these proceedings and wondering what the sequence would be,
Mrs. Goff announced that supper was ready. Mr. Goff sat for a moment and then
dragged his stool up to the mush pot saying to the visitor: "Well, if you
don't want any supper, you can sit there." The children were already around
the kettle scooping out mush and milk with the large wooden spoons, and
seemingly to enter with gusto into the repast. Mr. & Mrs. Goff joined the circle;
and all fell to eating with such voracity that no time was left for asking or
answering questions No cups or dishes were sued. Al ate directly from the
pot, and there was no little crowing for those who feared that they might not
get their full share. The stranger was given no other invitation to eat;
but, by this time, he had come to see that he would be no supper unless he
should go boldly forward, seize a spoon and take his chances with the rest. This
he did. He pulled his stool forward and commenced eating. Mr. Goff crowded
a little to one side remarking with an oath "By ____ I thought you'd come to
it." The meal passed without further incident and the next morning the land
agent fled back to Winchester with a story no one there believed.
That same year there was a scarcity in the country. James Goff had corn,
but hardly anyone else had. People came from all parts to buy from him. Two
young men came down from the Glades in Maryland. One had been there before;
but the other had not. The one who had been there entertained the other,
while on the road, by picturing to him what a grand residence Goff's was, and
admonished him not to show himself ill-bred by undue staring about the pictured
walls and carpeted floors. By this time, they drew near the plantation, the
young man, who had believed all that his companion had told him, was looking
for a splendid residence and picturesque surroundings. Mark his surprise
when he came suddenly up to the front, and only, door of the log cabin. He was
immediately ushered in at the opening. He was looking so wildly about him
that he did not notice the log that formed the door-sill and, stumbling over it,
he fell headlong into the house. Instead of landing on a Brussels Carpet,
as he might have suspected, he found himself sprawling in the dust and ashes
of the earth floor. Not until then did he realize that he had been the subject
of a practical joke.
James Goff is said to have been a soldier in the Revolution. He was no
doubt a scout in the militia, but never did service in the Colonial Line.
James Goff was an untiring worker and his boys were made to work
relentlessly. In the long days of June when daylight comes at four o'clock, he would be
in the corn field before the first gleam of dawn. He never called his boys
to work nor even waked them, but if anyone was not in the field as soon as it
was light enough to distinguished weeds from corn, that one got a sound
thrashing. Of course, by working so hard, he made money. What he made, he
saved. He would not spend a cent for anything, unless it was absolutely
necessary. He kept his cash in a buckskin sack, and buried it in one corner of the
dirt floor. In the course of time, he came to be a considerable money lender,
as well as thrifty farmer, and could loan out quite a handsome sum when there
was occasion to do so. Those who came to borrow often marked with surprise
that he picked up a handspike which was used as a poker, and dug deep into
the ground floor and turned out the foul sack, filled with silver and gold. He
was a very miserly person, a "scrooge of the wilderness". But no matter
what may be said derogatory to his manner of life, James Goff was a substantial
citizen and one of the leading men in early days. He paid his debts and
expected his neighbors to do likewise. His thrift was an advantage to the
community, and no account is known of usury or an exorbitant price being demanded.
He owned four slaves and a large estate in Preston County, and on this
estate, he died in 1834, at the advanced age of 99 years. He had accumulated a
huge fortune for that day, consisting largely of lands in both Tucker and
Preston Counties. His wealth was distributed among his children, most of whom
continued to reside near the place of their nativity. He sleeps at the scene of
his activities in Preston County.

James Goff was the eldest of the 4 brothers and was in Maryland before the
Revolution. He became associated with Robert Johnson, and was with the Johnson
family when they settled in now Garrett Co., Maryland. James Goff was a
soldier in the Revolution.
Lowther, p. 289, listed his children. She said James settled in the Big
Bend area of Calhoun Co., and from there went to Athens, Ohio, where he died at
the home of his son, John B. Goff. Other sources say he died in the Preston
Co., [West Virginia] area.
