Richard Goode, No. 8 in Virginia Cousins, son of Walter Goode,
(designated in the Herald's Visitation of Cornwall in 1670* as : "Richard
Goode of Whitley or Whitston in Cornwall," also mentioned in Drake's
Visitation as " Richard Goode of Whitston in Cornwall, living 1620," and
in the pedigree of Penkevill, in Macleans Trigg Manor, as "Rich. Good"
and "Richard Goode of Whytley) married Isabell, daughter of Philip
Penkevill of Penkevill and Rosorrrow, 1558-1559, and had eight children: -
12. Richard Goode, b. 1560, "sonne and heire, aet. 60" in 1620.
13. George Goode, b. 1570, "2 sonne, aet. 50."
14. Walter Goode, b. 1585, "3 sonne, aet. 35," married Alice, daughter of
Richard de la More, or Moringe, of little Torrington, Devonshire# whose
other daughter, Jane, m. Richard Lanion, Esq. of Cornwall.
15. Digorie Goode, b. 1585, "4 sonne, aet. 32."
16. Isabell Goode.
17. Nazareth Goode.
18. Florence Goode.
19. Margrett Goode.
The date of Richard Goode's marriage is fixed not only by the age of his
eldest son, but by the statement of Sir John Maclean that "Goode" and
"Penkevill" are among the earliest names mentioned in the Parish Register
of St. Minver, which begins in the year 1558.
Isabell, wife of Richard Goode, was descended in the eighth generation
from John, "Lord of Penkevill," anno. 16, Edward II., (A.D. 1322). Her
father was Philip Penkevill of Penkevill and Rosorrow+ who died in 1622,
leaving his estate greatly impoverished.
The family was prominent in Cornwall from the fourteenth to the
seventeenth century. Richard Penkevill, of Rosorrow, in Cornwall,
received license to discover the passage to China, Cathay, the Moluccas,
and other regions of the East Indies, by the N., N.E., or N.W. for seven
years, and to form a company to be called "The Collegues of the
Fellowship for the Discoverie of the North Passage," January 19, 1607. p.

Penkevill of Penkevill, in St. Michaels Penkevill, traced to the reign of
Edward II, married the heiress of Trevilla. A younger branch of the
family, which in the reign of Queen Elizabeth was settled in Roserrow in
St. Minver, and had married co-heiresses of Mohun, Tregarrick,
Raynewarne, and Hernance, succeded to Penkevill on the failure of the
elder branch, and became extinct by the death of Benjamin Penkevill in
1669." Lyson: Magna Britannia, iii., p. cxiv.
