Bennett Goode, a prosperous planter, was born in Chesterfield Co., Virginia, and grew up at "Osbornes", a hamlet on the James River fifteen miles below Whitby. He moved with his mother to Mecklenburg County, and subsequently settled in Powhatan County, on the James River near the mouth of Genito Creek. There is reference in the Colonial Statues of 1842 of the establishing of a ferry from his land across the James River to the land of Col. John Flemming, in Goochland County. This he sold in 1758-9, to a man named Jude, and it has since been known as "Jude's Ferry." He then moved to a place on "Fine Creek," about five miles away, which he later left to his son John. On September 5, 1768, 369 acres in Goochland County were granted to Bennett Goode. Goochland at that time included what became, in 1777, Powhatan County. Bennett Goode's will was probated 1771 in Cumberland County, Virginia, and mentions his wife and children.
