from FindAGrave notes: Philip Gose lived with his parents, STEPHEN and ANNA CATHERINE GOSE, on Cripple Creek in Wythe Co., Virginia and it was there he met and was married by the Rev. John Stanger to Elizabeth Spangler on 24 May 1795. A tract of land was surveyed January 24, 1795 several miles West of Ceres, Virginia on the North side of the road and the South side of Brushy Mountain for Philip Gose. This grant was signed by John Page, Esq., Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. On December 13,1804, Philip bought 100 acres of land including appurtenances in Burkes Garden, Virginia for 170 pounds. This tract of land was located on the North side of Burkes Garden at the foot of Gose's Knob. Philip built his house of logs over a basement. The kitchen was in a separate building. On November 16, 1807 Philip bought 384 acres for 1,720 pounds from James Thompson of Washington Co.,Virginia. Deed Book 2 at Tazewell, Virginia shows a number of purchases of land in Burkes Garden by Philip. One of these tracts contained over 200 acres.
The year Philip moved from Ceres, Virginia to Burkes Garden, Virginia is not known. The few settlers living near Ceres, or Bear Garden, as it was called then, met and assisted him in moving his family to their new home in Burke's Garden wilderness. They followd Burke's road to the foot of Burshy Mountain and then hitched 3 teams to the wagon and went straight up a ridge to the top of the mountain, cutting bush as they went. They cut down a tree and fastened it to the rear of the wagon as a brake and descended a hollow into Poor Valley. The same procedure was followed in crossing the Garden Mountain through Walker's Gap. The 1st wagon entered Burke's Garden shortly after the year 1804. Then, there was not even a cut bridle path to Tazewood, then known as Jeffersonville. A bridle path had been cut from Williams Hall's in Burkes Garden to Hale's place on Walker's Creek in the present Bland County.
