1.5.4.1.1.4.3.2. Alice Worsham md Cornelius Addie Goode 18 Dec 1868 Chesterfield Co, VA. Laura Perry, 2006, researched this family:
The 1870 census of Chesterfield Co, VA, lists Cornelius Goode (22) as a merchant. He is a citizen able to vote. Alice Goode (19) is keeping house. They are listed as a separate household in the residence of Joseph H. and Margaret Worsham. Both were born in Virginia.
The 1880 census of Chesterfield Co, VA, lists C. A. Goode (30) as a farmer in Midlothian. His wife Alice (28) is keeping house. Also in the household is L. Harris, a 10-year-old white boy whose occupation is Apprentice Farmer. All of them are literate. Listed as a separate household living in the same residence are Sarah Duval (50) and 4 children of hers.
The 1910 census of Chesterfield Co, VA, lists Cornelus Goode (62) as a farmer in the Clover Hill District. He owns the farm. He is a veteran of the Confederate Army. Cornelius and his wife Alice H. (54) have been married for 29 years. It is the first marriage for both. Alice has had 1 child. The enumerator wrote "1 living" and then crossed it out, so I suppose the child has died. Both are able to read and write.
The 1920 census of Chesterfield Co, VA, lists Cornelus A. Goode (72) as a farmer in the Clover Hill District. He rents a farm "on or near Genito Road." He is doing general farming on his own account. His wife Alice H. Goode (68) has no occupation. Both are literate, and their native language is English.
Cornelius and Alice were buried at Mt. Hermon Baptist Church in Chesterfield Co, VA. Cornelius' dates are 2 Apr 1848 - 19 Jul 1922. Alice's dates are 1851-1923. Her dates from http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/chesterfield/cemeteries/mthermon-g-k.txt His dates from ed.

Charlotte Co., VA s/o Jonathan & Judith V. Orcutt & she is d/o Jos H.
& Margaret E. Worsham. (Chesterfield Co., VA Marriages 1853-1896). In the
1880 Clover Hill, Chesterfield Co., VA census, p 32C, family 91 & dwelling
93, Joseph Orcutt is age 18 & living with his father, Jonathan Orcutt. Next
door is Olivia Worsham age 20 with her parents, Joseph H & Margaret Worsham,
family 92 & dwelling 94. In "Gone But Not Forgotten: Gravestone
Inscriptions & Burials of Chesterfield Co., VA", ed. Rachel Baker
Lipowicz, Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia, 1998 it states that
Olivia E. W. Orcutt was born in 1861 and died on 10 Nov 1891. She was buried
with her parents in the Orcutt Cemetery in Chesterfield County, which also
includes 2 unnamed Worsham infants. The 1910 Chesterfield Co., VA census, lists
Joseph E. Orcutt in the Clover Hill District, ED 2, p 33A, household 83. His age
appears to be 50. He owns the farm numbered 73 in the farm schedule & is
mortgaged. He and his wife Mollie (30) have been married for 11 years. It is the
second marriage for him and the first marriage for her. Joseph has had 10
children, of whom 7 are living. Mollie has had 7 children, all of them living.
These statistics indicate that there are no surviving children of his marriage
to Olivia Worsham. Children listed are Lottie P. Orcutt age 19; William J.
Orcutt age 11, in school; Lula A. Orcutt age 9, in school; Josabel Orcutt age 8,
