officer and colonial administrator who served as the <a href="/wiki/List_of_colonial_governors_of_Virginia" title="List of colonial governors of Virginia">governor of Virginia</a> from 1727 to 1749. Technically, Gooch only held the title of Royal Lieutenant Governor, but the nominal governors, <a href="/wiki/George_Hamilton,_1st_Earl_of_Orkney" title="George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney">Lord Orkney</a> and <a href="/wiki/Willem_Anne_van_Keppel,_2nd_Earl_of_Albemarle" class="mw-redirect" title="Willem Anne van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle">Lord Albemarle</a>, were in <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a> and did not exercise much authority. Gooch's tenure as governor was characterized by his unusual political effectiveness. </p><p>One of his greatest successes was the passage of the <a href="/wiki/Tobacco_Inspection_Act_of_1730" class="mw-redirect" title="Tobacco Inspection Act of 1730">Tobacco Inspection Act of 1730</a>. The Act called for the inspection and regulation of <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Tobacco" title="Tobacco">tobacco</a>, the most <a href="/wiki/Tobacco_in_the_American_Colonies" class="mw-redirect" title="Tobacco in the American Colonies">important crop of the colony</a>. Tobacco planters were required to transport their crop to public warehouses where it was inspected and stored. The Act raised the quality of Virginia's tobacco and reduced fraud; this greatly increased the demand for Virginia tobacco in <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a>. Gooch's military policy focused on protecting the western territory from <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_France" title="Kingdom of France">French</a> encroachment. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Administration_of_Virginia">Administration of Virginia</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sir_William_Gooch,_1st_Baronet&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Administration of Virginia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Gooch promoted the settlement of the <a href="/wiki/Shenandoah_Valley" title="Shenandoah Valley">Shenandoah Valley</a> in order to buffer the rest of the colony from Indian attacks, and to prevent the French from settling the land. However, in the early 1730s, Western expansion was fraught by the <a href="/wiki/Iroquois" title="Iroquois">Iroquois</a> invasion each spring, as settlements inevitably fell along their <a href="/wiki/Great_Indian_Warpath" title="Great Indian Warpath">war-trails</a> leading south. Gooch decided to broker peace between the <a href="/wiki/Iroquois" title="Iroquois">Six Nations</a> and their southern enemies, to end the warfare. He hired <a href="/wiki/Conrad_Weiser" title="Conrad Weiser">Conrad Weiser</a> to negotiate in the winter of 1736 and 1737, before the war season began. Weiser was successful in negotiating an armistice, allowing Gooch to authorize settlement of the Shenandoah Valley.<sup id="cite_ref-Walton_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Walton-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg/220px-William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg/330px-William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg/440px-William_Gooch%27s_American_Marines_in_the_attack_on_Fort_San_Lazaro_at_Cartagena_in_1741.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="429" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Gooch%27s_American_Regiment" title="Gooch's American Regiment">Gooch's American Marines</a> in the attack on <a href="/wiki/Castillo_San_Felipe_de_Barajas" title="Castillo San Felipe de Barajas">Fort San Lazaro</a> at Cartagena in 1741</figcaption></figure> <p>He had many military credentials, including fighting under <a href="/wiki/John_Churchill,_1st_Duke_of_Marlborough" title="John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough">John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough</a> in his campaigns in the <a href="/wiki/Low_Countries" title="Low Countries">Low Countries</a> and as a colonel of <a href="/wiki/Gooch%27s_American_Regiment" title="Gooch's American Regiment">Gooch's American Regiment</a> with Admiral <a href="/wiki/Edward_Vernon" title="Edward Vernon">Edward Vernon</a> in his <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Cartagena_de_Indias" title="Battle of Cartagena de Indias">expedition</a> against <a href="/wiki/Cartagena,_Colombia" title="Cartagena, Colombia">Cartagena, New Grenada</a> (now in <a href="/wiki/Colombia" title="Colombia">Colombia</a>), as part of the <a href="/wiki/War_of_Jenkins%27_Ear" title="War of Jenkins' Ear">War of Jenkins' Ear</a>.
