Ann Goad

There is some question about whether William married Ann Sterling or Ann Isham. (Or both)

John Goad married 2nd on 11 Aug. 1734 in Brunswick County, Virginia or North Farnham Parish, Richmond Co, VA to Ann Isham. She was William Smith’s widow.

Ann Smith is named in the 1751 will of William Smith - see his profile.

She is named "Ann Smith" as late as 1764--suggesting that she may have married John Goad at a later date.

Notes

• As far as I know, there are three commonly found pieces of information concerning John Goad’s second wife, Ann, that, as far as I have been able to determine, have no proof or real evidence.  The first is her maiden name as Isham, the second is a marriage date of August 11, 1734, and the third is a marriage date of August 11, 1740. All that I have seen on Ann’s name is just that, “Ann,” which appeared in John’s will. 
• John Goad's first wife Katherine was still living in October, 1738, as there is a deed in Richmond County in October 1738 in which John and his first wife, Katherine, sell 80 acres of land. If Ann Isham is John Goad's second wife, and the "Ann" named in John Goad's will, they married after October, 1738.
• Please note the dates: their respective Geni profiles show Ann Isham born 1715, daughter Jane Clayton born 1714. Ann is believed to be the mother of Jane Clayton. Jane's mother was said to have the maiden name of Isham and to be related to William and Mary (Isham) Randolph of Virginia.
• Ann Isham's first husband is thought to have been William Smith. William Smith and his wife Ann had a son named Isham Smith, and William names his wife Ann in his 1751 will. More research is needed to determine whether this is the same Ann.
