Son of Daniel and Nancey (Sneed) Gooch. Husband of Susan Bennett. This is one of the older original stones. Joseph should not be confused with his cousin who was Sheriff of Granville. Joseph owned land along the North Fork and ran Gooch's Mill, which was passed down to his son Daniel Joseph Gooch (1846-1905).
Joseph is the second child of Daniel and Nancey (née Sneed) Gooch. He
inherited land and slaves in the Tar River District and ran a mill,
probably the same that his grandfather Joseph built on the Tar in 1797.
Joseph married Susan W. Bennett in Granville and their marriage bond is dated August 1827. Susan is the daughter of Charles & Martha (née
Walker) Bennett. Family records list his death year as 1875. It is
unknown where his wife is buried, though their daughter Susan is buried here..
