• Residence: 1737; Ivy Creek, Goochland County, Virginia, British Colonial America
• Residence: 1748; Albemarle, Colony of Virginia, British Colonial America

Notes:

The first documented information on the Stockons is a land deed of 1739 in Goochland County, VA which later became Albemarle County. Davis Stockton's will was probated in 1762. Date of death from "Albemarle County in Virginia", by Rev. Edgar Woods. It is known that, on 12 March 1739, Davis was in Goochland (Albemarle) County, Virginia, where he obtained a grant of 400 acres adjoining land of Adam Godylouch. (This surname is spelled in numerous ways, including Goudylock.)

Since we now know through DNA testing that Davis and Robert Stockton cannot be related to Richard's line, it also means the Judges Thomas and John in Ireland c1660 can't be the parent either. Both of them are from London. Irish records were burned in the 1921 uprising, so we don't have much to go on.

Between the Robert Stockton descendants combing PA records, and Richard
Stockton descendants doing the same in New England, the only "proof"
we've found is that there is NO record for Davis Stockton before the 1739
Goochland Co., VA land patent. His brother Robert is on the 1732 Lancaster PA Tax list, but no Davis. That's the brick wall.

Per "Echos of Their Voices" by Carl R. Baldwin - British rule had become too burdensome for them (Davis & Sarah) as they reached maturity. By 1710 they were living in Chester County, PA. Stockton began to prosper as a farmer, although sites in eastern Pennsylvania for an expanding family were becoming difficult to find. He sold out in Chester County and by 1732 was a resident of Pennsylvania's lancaster County. There he met Michael Woods, like himself an immigrant from North Ireland. They became fast friends. During their stay in William Penn's colony, Davis and Sarah had seven children - Richard, Ann, Thomas, Hannah, William, Elizabeth and Samuel. Woods heard of virgin land being opened for settlement in Virginia's newly created county of Goochland. he went there to investigate in 1737m, entering Goochland County from the west, through a gentle defile in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Both the pass and the creek that traversed it became known as Woods's Gap. Before returning to Pennsylvania to fetch his family, Woods obtained title to acreage at the confluence of Woods's Gap and the Mechum Riber, and at the headwaters of Ivy Creek. The Stocktons, and probably other families, joined Woods when he journed back to Goochland County to work his property in 1739. After crossing through Woods's Gap, the Woods family and the Stockton's separated, Woods continuing straight ahead to the land he had staked out. Stockton bore to the left and found his virgin soil along the lower stretches of Ivy Creek, new the modern town of Batesville. For many years residents of the area wondered about the large initials - "D.S." - carved in a tree near Woods's Gap. They apparently were made by the sentimental Stockton to mark the point of parting. In 1739, Stockton obtained title to 400 acres on Ivy Creek and two years later, obviously with his older children in mind, he acquired 800 more at the north and south forks of Mechum Riber. Goochland County was broken up in 1744. The Woods and Stockton families found themselves living in the newly formed Albemarle County. No Stocktons remain in Albemarle, but they left their name on the land. The north fork of Mechum's River is still called Stockton's Creek. In early times the south fork, on which the Stockton's operated the first mill in that part of Virginia, was called Stockton's Mill Creek. Once a defile in the mountains now know as Israel's Gap was called Stockton's Thoroughfare.

Davis Stockton's estate was inventoried on January 2, 1762 Albermarle Co., Virgina as follows:
To 9 hogs, a horse and 4 cattle,
to a bed and furniture and a tea chest,
to a riding coat and a waist coat, to pewter, 2 iron potts,
to knives and forks,
to a parcell of wooden ware,
to two books, to a cow sold, to a churn, to one pound weight of pearls, to a bell and a barrel, to iron ware, to a mare and a colt.
Total 36 pounds 0 shillings 9 pence

Davis married Sarah (Anthony) GUDYLOUCH about 1706 in Ablemarle Co, . Virginia. Sarah (daughter of William GUDYLOUCH and Ann DUNCAN) was born in 1690 in North Ireland; died in 1736 in Albermarle, Virginia, British Colonial America. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• _UID: 46A0354D7E5F40EA9118F4A3C66090E64B9B

Notes:

Sarah's surname is presently unconfirmed. On 10 Mar., 1756, Sarah patented 397a. of land on both sides of the Virgin Spring Branch of Mechum River, Albemarle Co., VA. Patent Book #34, 1756-1762, Pg. 19.

J. Kathleen Moore ([email protected]) lists firm birth years for the children born of this marriage. These are the dates listed here, though other sources show dates at variance with these. Ms. Moore also says that all children were born prior to Davis and Sarah's arrival in America, the first three in Ireland, and the last four in England. If these dates and places are factual, and if Sarah's maiden name was Gudylouch (or some variant thereof), it suggests that Davis Stockton and the Gudylouch family came to America together. This is because Adam Gudylouch become Davis's son-in-law by marrying his daughter Hannah.
