THE GOODWIN FAMILIES IN AMERICA BY JUDGE JOHN S. GOODWIN.
The Goodwin's were among the very first of the English-speaking
people to come to America. As the late
Mr. Charles Francis Goodwin, of Brookville, Indiana, expressed it, "The
Goodwin's have always been here. It
is still an open question whether the Indians or the Goodwin's were the
original inhabitants!"
Not only were they here at an early date, but the earliest ones were in
Virginia. While some of those
mentioned below did not leave families, their names are included, that the
honor of priority may be given
them. The years and names are as follows, and they thoroughly upset
the "three-brothers" theory:
1607-'14. Samuel Goodwin; was massacred at Jamestown.
1620. Sir Francis Goodwin was a member of the Virginia
Company. He died in England.
1620. Reinold Goodwin, born in 1590, came to Elizabeth City
county in The Abigail in 1620, and was
living in 1624. Untraced.
1624. Robert Goodwin, born in 1605, came to Elizabeth City
county in The Swan in 1624. Untraced.
1632. William and Ozias Goodwin, brothers, settled eventually
in Hartford, Connecticut. A genealogy
of this family has been published*, and it is the desire to trace its
English origin - a matter which has,
so far, eluded the most diligent search - which has led Mr. James J. Goodwin
to preserve, with the intention
of publishing, all Goodwin data found by Mr. Waters in his search for the
English family of the Hartford
Goodwins.
1633. Christopher Goodwin settled in Charlestown,
Massachusetts. Two manuscript records of this family
are in existence.

Goodwin, Hartford, Conn.
Page 2.
1635. John Goodwin, November 20, 1635, was one of the "head
rights" with William Wilkinson, and settled
in Lynn Haven, Lower Norfolk, Virginia. Untraced.
1635. Alexander Goodwin and Daniel Godwin, November 26, 1635,
with eighteen others, were granted 1,250
acres in the county of Charles City, Virginia. Untraced.
1640. Devereux Godwin or Goodwin settled in Old Kent,
Maryland, and was a prominent man for many years,
but no trace of his descendants has been found, except a son, Devorax
Goodwin, Jr. Perhaps some of the
Maryland families descend from him.
1648. Major James Goodwin settled in York county, Virginia.
his family and descendants are subjects of
this sketch.
1652. Daniel Goodwin settled in Kittery, York county, Maine,
and his descendants are legion. Captain
William F. Goodwin was engaged in compiling a geneaology of this family at
the time of his death in 1872.
It is probable that it will be published at an early date.
1660. Richard Goodwin married in 1666 in Essex Co.,
Massachusetts. This family is very numerous in the
New England States. It is probably an offshoot of the Goodwins of
Torrington, county Devon, England.
1660. Edward Goodwin, of Essex county, Massachusetts, was the
ancestor of a large family.
1700. Rev. Benjamin Goodwin settled in Gloucester county,
Virginia. His descendants, if any, are
untraced.
1700-1800. During this century a number of Goodwin families
were established in the New England States,
and in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, the Carolinas and
Georgia. In the search for the
ancestry of Thomas Goodwin, data of all of these families have been gathered
and preserved. None of them
appear to be related to Major James Goodwin, and more detailed mention is
not made of them at this time.
An Unsolved Problem.
In 1789, at Old Fort, now Brownsville, Fayette county,
Pennsylvania, Samuel Goodwin, eldest son of
Thomas Goodwin, Jr., was born. The yet unsuccessful attempt to trace
the lineage of this family (Appendix A)
has resulted in the gathering of all the data included in this publication,
and, in fact, of almost complete
records of all the Goodwin families in America.
MAJOR JAMES GOODWIN settled in York county, Virginia, but had land
grants in Westmoreland county. Three
of his sons are prac-
Page 3.
tically untraced. An hypothesis is suggested, that perhaps one or more
of the sons and grandsons of Major
James Goodwin went to Westmoreland county, crossed the river to St. Mary's
and Calvert counties, Maryland,
and that their descendants gradually worked northward with the tide of
immigrtion into northern Maryland
and southern Pennsylvania, and then westward along the trail which became
the old National Road, and then,
following the water courses, became, with their descendants, the pioneers of
the great Ohio Valley.
Whether descendants of Major James or of Devereux Goodwin, or of
other, as yet unknown, immigrant
ancestors, it appears that Old Fort, in western Pennsylvania, was the "storm
centre". It was situated on
the Redstone River, a tributary to one of the great branches of the Ohio
River; and in those early days the
river current was the most rapid conveyance. Concentred, then, within
a circle of the radius of scarcely
fifty miles, touching Maryland, Virginia (now West Virginia), and
Pennsylvania, and having Old Fort for
its centre, we find not less than nine families of Goodwins, none of them
yet able to trace their original
source. These families were:
1st. THOMAS GOODWIN, JR., born in 1767, who, in 1788 or 1789,
came along "the trail" with his bride;
stayed for a few years at Old Fort, and then, with his young family and his
household belongings, floated
down the Ohio River to Cincinnati, and eventually settled at Brookville,
Indiana, and became the ancestor
of the GOODWINS OF BROOKVILLE. Appendix A.
2nd. AARON GOODWIN, born in 1753, but about whose place of
birth his descendants differ, some claiming
Hartford, Connecticut, but others, with perhaps better reason, laying the
place in Virginia, removed from
Virginia to the Cumberland alley in Maryland, where he married; and in 1790,
with his wife and family, he
followed the exact footprints of Thomas, Jr., but without stopping long at
Old Fort, and by flatboats went
to Maysville, Kentucky, and eventually settled in Washington, Indiana, where
he died in 1828, leaving
descendants, mentioned in Appendix B.
3rd. JOHN GOODWIN, whose history prior to the time he ws
living near Wheeling, West Virginia, is wholly
unknown as yet, removed, with part of his family, down the Ohio River,
settling in Kentucky; but at least
three of his sons afterward removed from near Wheeling and from Kentucky to
Indiana; and his descendants
are traced in Appendix D.
Page 4.
4th. SETH GOODWIN is said to have been born in Germany, and
to have been born in Germany, and to have
settled in York county, Pennsylvania, where he had sons John, in 1796, and
William, and then removed to
Washington county; and John and some of his children went to Greene county,
across the river from Fayette.
It is to be noted that John Goodwin, next above mentioned, had a son Seth of
the same age as this Seth, and
further investigation may combine this family with that of John Goodwin.
It is, however, treated separately
in Appendix E.
5th. JOSEPH GOODWIN, whose wife was born in Delaware, settled
in Fayette county, Pennsylvania, about
1796, and his first son, Daniel, was born in 1800. His fourth son,
William, "returned to Baltimore", and
was killed by a fall while working on a public building.
6th. JOHN GOODWIN, brother of Joseph, and both sons of John
Goodwin, Sr., settled "over the line", in
West Virginia. This family is given in Appendix C.
7th. JOHN GOODWIN was born in Montgomery county, Maryland, in
1762. He served in Capt. William Lowther's
company, of Virginia, from 1778 to 1780, and in Capt. Joseph Gregory's
company, of Virginia, until 1782. He
was pensioned in 1833, and then resided in Harrison county, (West) Virginia,
having enlisted from Harrison
county in 1778. See Appendix F.
8th. JAMES GOODWIN, private of the thirtieth Maryland, a
soldier in the Revolutionary War, had land
grant for fifty acres, number 1,784, which was located on a tract of land
now called "Cherry Tree Valley",
about seven miles north of Oakland, the county seat of Garrett county,
Maryland; but James permitted the and to escheat to the State. Thomas Goodwin, Jr., is said to have had
a brother James who went west.
9th. EDWARD GOODWIN resided near Simpson, in Taylor county,
West Virginia. His son Gabriel was born
about 1810. He was brother to John, mentioned in the 7th paragraph.
See Appendix F.
The chief trouble found in tracing these families is that records
were kept only of dates of birth, and
not of places. They were pioneers, and their homes were "regions",
"valleys", "districts", the name covering
vast territories. Their old home ties were slight, and the life w hich
they lived permitted them to dwell
but little in the past. They were, as a rule, stern, silent men,
always confronted with dangers, always
with hardships; and their descendants know but little about them and their
kin.

The pedigree entered in the Visitation of London for 1633, and the
abstracts of wills published in The
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vols. XLVII and XLVIII.,
of Robert Goodwin, Peter Goodwin,
and John Pigot, show the following:
HENRY, of Buckinghamshire, had issue: ROBERT, who married
Jane, the daughter of Anthony Dollin, of
Henalt, in Flanders. Issue: PETER, a salter*, of Tower-Street
Ward, London, who married Sarah, daughter
of John Hillard, alias Highlord, of London, merchant. Issue: 1,
Gertrude, who married, 1st, John Pigot, of
London, mrchant, who died in 1639; 2dly, Maurice Abbott, Esq.; 2, Susanna,
who married ----- Stone;
3, Elizabeth, who married John Osborne; 4, Sarah, who married Wm. Elwood; 5,
John, deceased before his father;
6, Mathew, eldest son in 1661, to whom his father gave his dwelling-house in
"St. Margaret Patternes", in
or near Tower street; 7, Peter; 8, James, "youngest son". The will of
PETER GOODWIN was dated October 28,
1661, and was proved December 17, 1661, by the oath of James Goodwin, his
son, one of the executors, power
being reserved for Mathew and Peter, the other executors, etc. [So far
the English authorities.]
In the early records of York county, Va., preserved at Yorktown (a
copy of which, down to the year 1700,
is in the State Library), the name of a James Goodwin appears as an early
justice, withe the title of major.
He was justice from 1657 to 1662, and in 1658 he represented his county in
the House of Burgesses. He lived
on Back Creek. The identity of this James with the James of the
English pedigrees is shown by two things:
First, By the names of his children, which repeat the family names of
the English people;
_________________________________________________
*The introduction to the Visitation of Shropshire in 1623,
published by the "Harleian Society", contains
an interesting account of the practice of the Heralds' College and the
distinctions in society: "The simple
state of society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries did not draw
lines of demarcation at retail
trades; great foreign merchants, such as we have now, had not yet been
developed. War as a profession for
younger sons had ceased; also the custom of attaching them to the suites of
the greater nobility; and the
consequence was, that they could only enter the learned professions, or be
apprenticed to some ordinary
retail trade, and so become members of one of these guilds; thus we find
that the younger sons of extensive
estates became tradesmen in neighboring towns, and did not thereby cease to
be members of the country
gentry". So Peter Goodwin, in being a salter, did not cease to be a
gentleman; and it was he who recorded
his pedigree and arms with the Heralds' College in 1688.
Page 6.
and Second, By the fact that the York county books show that Major James
Goodwin was present in York county
on November 13, 1660, and that he reached England before April 30, 1661.*
This would indicate that he
returned to England after hearing of his father's death, and was present to
swear to his father's will December 17, 1660. There was, between the date of the will and its
proof in court, an interval of fifty days, which would have given time for the transmission of the news of Peter
Goodwin's death to Virginia and for Major Goodwin's return and appearance in England. At the same
time, the margin is not wideenough for us to suppose that his being in England about this time was the
result of an accident. Assuming this connection as proved, JAMES GOODWIN married, 1st
Rachel -----, whose tombstone on Back Creek, York county, Va., says that she was born in 1630, and died May 23,
1666, leaving, as it states, by Major Goodwin, five sons and two daughters. The tombstone bears an
"impalement", by which is meant a division of the shield into two equal parts; the right, or dexter,
representing the husband, and the left, or sinister, representing the wife. The right side in this case
is too much worn to make out, but the left is divided quarterly; one and four, a bend; two and three, three
bars. This quartering ought to give the names of the father and mother of Rachel Goodwin. Now, among
those for whom Major Goodwin got "head rights", besides Mrs. Blanche Parry, Mrs. Ann Gooch, Robert Goodwin,
John Goodwin, and "myself and wife", was one John Porter; and "three bars or" are the arms of Porter of
County Warwick, England. With great confidence, then, it might be assumed that the mother of Rachel
Goodwin was a Porter.+ The other two quarters, containing each a bend, are too general for identification.
Captain Gooch is called "brother" by Major James Goodwin; and Henry Gooch was, in 1660, the husband of
Milicent Kinsey, widow of Robert Kinsey.

*In the York county records is the following:
"30th April, 1661. Capt. Henry Gooch and Mr. Robert Baldry
are added to the Commission of Yorke County,
and to be sworne at ye next Court, int he palces of Coll. Xtopher Calthorpe
& Majr. James Goodwin, who are
removed one to ye soward, ye other for England.
Wm. BERKELEY."
+Off the mouth of the creek, near the tombstone, is an island still
known as Goodwin's Island, which amuel Chew deeded to James Goodwin. There is a lighthouse at the
extreme point, called "Too's Point
Lighthouse". Perhaps "Too's Point" is a corruption for "Chew's Point."
Page 7.
Henry Gooch*, who was also a magistrate of York county, Va., was manager of
the estate of Major William
Gooch, Esq., member of the Council, whose tomb is at "Temple Farm", where
Cornwallis surrendered. This
latter, who seems to have been an uncle of Governor William Gooch, and who
died in 1655, left a daughter
Ann, who married Captain Thomas Beale, of York and Richmond counties.
Probably Ann Gooch, mentioned among
Major Goodwin's head rights, was the wife of William Gooch and the mother of
Anne Beale.
After the death of Rachel, Major James Goodwin married, 2dly,
Blanceh -----, probably Mrs. Blanche
Parry, mentioned above. He died intestate, and his inventory was
recorded January 6, 1678/9, showing
L542 1s 2d. On January 25, 1691/2, John and Peter Goodwin petitioned
for their shares of their father's
estate in the hands of their "mother-in-law" (step-mother), Mrs. Blanche
Goodwin, and in the following
month settlement was mde with "seven children ahd ye widow". In 1687
Mrs. Blanche Goodwin had given
property to her "sons", John and Peter Goodwin, and daugher Susannah.
Her will was proved September 22,
1701, and names sons Robert and Martin as executors; daughter, Elizabeth
Blinkhorn; and grandchildren,
James and Elizabeth Duke. Matthew Goodwin witnessed a deed from Peter
to Martin in 1701.
Children - All, Presumably, by First Wife.
I. Robert, married Anne -------; II. John, married Elizabeth
Moore; III. Peter, married Rebecca
Tiplady; IV. Matthew; V. Martin, married Barbara -----; VI. Susannah,
married ----- Duke; VII. Elizabeth,
married ------- Blinkhorn.
No children by second wife.
Robert Goodwin (James) was married before 1696 to Anne -----.
By occupation he was a planter. They
resided in Hampton parish, York county, Va., and in 1696 Robert was grantee
in a deed from Peter Goodwin,
the witnesses being John, Matthew, and Martin. A Robert was mentioned
in 1711 as being one of the patrons
of a private school. Anne Goodwin was permitted to keep an ordinary in
1715. A few years later she had
married Joseph Frith, and was devisee of her son Martin, deceased, one of
the orphan children of Robert
Goodwin, deceased.

Elizabeth Doswell Goodwin was a small woman with light hair and
blue eyes. Great strength of character,
blended with sweetness of disposition, made her firm in discharge of duty
and easy of approach. Besides attending
to her own large family, she and "Uncle Littleton" always had room for the
orphan children of both families.
She was the "lady of the manor" in the age in which she lived in her
vicinity, and was especially kind to the poor.
In cases of sickness, she would send dainties to them by her black servants,
prettily arranged on a silver waiter,
much to the disgust of the "blacks", who thought it all nonsense for "Miss
Betsy to be sending dem t'ings to dem
low down po' white trash". But her idea was to "elevate those in a
lower social scale". During the late war,
one family thus served for generations, came to the rescue of her son and
grandchildren when left impoverished
entirely without luxury and almost without necessities. Thus, "bread
on the water returneth after many days".
Her mother, Sarah Coghill, used to say, "We're next in coat of arms
to the king", and tell of an old satin
cloak, yellow with pale green.
One of the grandmothers fought a British officer away from Oakley,
Caroline county, (P. O. Paige), with a linen
table cloth, just as it was saturated by the laundress.
Oakley contains an old saddle on which one of the Goodwins used to
ride to Yorktown. Notwithstanding its
extreme age, it is in a good state of preservation.
The tankard, which was marked with the Goodwin coat of arms, was
buried in three wars - Revolution, 1812, and
the late war - each time with money in it. Miss Mary Goodwin, of
Fredericksburg, Va., sold it just after the
war for bread, she said. She was condemned by many for not offering it
to members of the family instead of
selling to a stranger; but she was too proud to let them know her necessity.
I know of no one who can give a
description of it.

My grandfather, Harwood Goodwin, was one of the most original
characters I ever knew. He had no confidence in
anything professional. Perfectly truthful himself, his word was as
good as his bond. There were very few in
whom he had any faith, though, to their credit be it said, in the other two
members of his household, his wife
and invalid daughter, he reposed implicit confidence. He was certainly
an incongruous mixture of opposites. He
was perfectly honest and just in all his dealings. His moral character
was unimpeachable. Charitable in deed,
he was uncharitable in word; harsh in speech, considerate and tender in
action; severely critical of any deviation
from the path of rectitude, yet always ready to help the transgressor.
Perfectly honorable, an Israelite in whom
there was no guile, and yet an unbeliever who feared not God nor respected
man. His consideration for the females
of his family was very beautiful. His wife was a cripple, his daughter
an invalid of many years' standing. To
save them from all annoyance and to minister to their slightest wants was
the object and end of his existence.
Never did I see self so completely laid aside; every wish was gratified that
he never heard them express. His
daughter died first, and then his devotion centered itself on his wife.
For years it seemed as if she might be
spared as long as he was, but a sudden attack of apoplexy carried her off,
and thenceforward his occupation was
gone; he had nothing to live for. Her work-basket he kept by him, in
it a cork-soled shoe that assisted her
lameness; while her last words he constant repeated, "Lay me down". He
told me people thought he was in his
dotage, but that though his memory might fail, he never wished to forget the
last words he heard her speak. He
died in 1860.
TO THE MEMORY OF HARWOOD GOODWIN.
"The friend of God, man's friend aright,
Stern enemy of lies,
Has gone to palce his record bright
Before adoring skies.
Page 37.
"His keen blue eye of lightning flash,
Oft rent the bigot's veil,
And gave the flimsy web as trash
To every passing gale.
"Dull canting soule, thy tongue becurb,
For him thou needst not weep;
Be still, and dare not to disturb
The moral giant's sleep.
"Sleep on, thou rarity of earth,
Deep silence round thee reign,
Till sounds omnipotent in birth
Wake thee to life again".

I, John C. Goodwin, of the county of Louisa and State of Virginia,
do hereby make this my last will and testament
in the manner and form following, that is to say:
I desire that my beloved wife, Anna R. Goodwin, have possession
during her natural life of the land on which I now
reside, lying together on the south side of Little River, and likewise the
Colby tract of land which I purchased of
David Bulloch; and to have like possession of what slaves she may think
proper, except those she may dispose of in
the allotment hereinafter mentioned. It is my desire that my said wife
have possession of what money I may die
possessed after paying my just debts; also my entire stock of horses, hogs,
sheep, cattle, crops, plantation,
utensils, household and kitchen furniture.
I give to my daughter, Frances I., the following slaves, to-wit:
Billy, age thirty-five years; Hannah, thirty;
Mariah, sixteen; Matilda, fourteen; Martin, twelve; Pleasant, eight;
Delphin, five; Peter, three.
I give to my son, William T., the following slaves, to-wit:
Mitchell, age twenty years; Nancy, eighteen; Silvia,
fourteen; Daniel, eleven; Katy, two, and Dorcas, a child which has fallen to
my grandson, Edmond Pendleton Goodwin;
and inasmuch as he, by the death of his father, fell heir to a larger
portion of property than I shall be able to
give my own children, I have, therefore, thought proper not to give him
anything more.
I have deeded to my son, John C. Goodwin, the tract of land on
which he resides, valued at $2,400, and the
following slaves: Elijah, age twenty years; Caroline, eighteen; Abram,
ten; Susan, eighteen months old; Scipio,
fifty-nine, and Lucy, fifty-one.
Page 48.
I give to my daughter, Mary Ann, the following slaves, to-wit:
Henry, age eighteen years; Patsey, thirty; Lucy,
twenty; Polly, thirteen; Washington, eleven; Rachel, thirteen; Eliza, six;
and Janie, one.
I have deeded to my osn, James R., the tract of land on which he
resides, valued at $2,400, and the following
slaves, to-wit: Lewis, age fifty years; Fanny, thirty-five; Frederick,
nineteen; Mary, eleven; Addison, ten.
It is my will and desire that each of my two youngest daughters,
Mildred B. and Maria E., when they become of age
or marry, shall, out of the slaves which I leave my wife in possession of,
have an allotment of the same description
as my two daughters already married; and if said allotment cannot be made
out of each of said shares, I desire it
shall be made up to them in money, sufficient to make out an allotment of
the same description, that is to say: They
are to have enough money out of my estate to purchase a like description of
property. It is also my desire that each
of said daughters shall have the amount of $200 in stock and household
furniture.
It is my desire that my son, Charles Q., shall have the tract of
land which I purchased of Samuel A. Soles, and
enough of the Hart tract to make it equal to the lands of my two sons, John
C. Goodwin and James R., and likewise an
allotment of negroes of the same description of each of theirs, and if such
cannot be made out of those in my wife's
possession, I wish him to have sufficient money out of my estate to purchase
such, and $200 in stock and furniture.
The balance of my land on the north side of Little River, after
making out an allotment to my son, Charles Q., I
desire to e sold; and whereas I estimate that the allotment to each of my
said sons is worth $900 more than that to
each of my daughters, I desire the proceeds of said land to be applied as to
make them equal. If there should be any
more than enough to make these equal, I wish it equally divided between all
of the above named children, and if not
enough, I wish it made up from the sale of such perishable property as my
wife can spare, or by money on hand.
At the death of my wife, I wish all the property and money she may
die possessed of to be equally divided among the
above named children now living.
It is also my wish that my beloved wife have like possession of the
two small pieces of land which I purchased of
William H. Howe and Dunmore Harris as she has of the lands mentioned above.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, the 13th
day of August, 1841. JNO C. GOODWIN [seal].
Solomon A. Guy,
Wm. W. Anderson.
I give to my son, Charles Q. Goodwin, the Sole tract and the Hart

his brothers.
