  (1) WILLIAM & ELIZABETH (WHITE) GOODWIN, Excerpts from oustanding historical series,"The Great Migration Begins....," compiles by Rober Charles Anderson(See source attached for publication data) [CONTRIBUTED TO ANCESTRY.COM BY "ShellinPz"] WILLIAM GOODWIN ORIGIN: Braintree, Essex, England MIGRATION: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150] FIRST RESIDENCE: Cambridge REMOVES: Hartford 1636, Hadley by 1659, Farmington by 1670 CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: William Goodwin was a sidesman of the church at Braintree, Essex, in 1622, and churchwarden in 1630 and 1631 [Goodwin Papers 2:1171-73]. On 25 June 1632 (and repeated on 16 July 1632 and 4 August 1632) William Goodwin was presented at the Commissary Court of Essex and Herts for "not receiving the Holy Communion at Easter nor since in his parish church" [Goodwin Papers 2:1175-77]. Several other members of the "Braintree Company," fellow passengers on the Lyon, were also presented at these courts, for the same or similar offenses, but they were safely beyond the reach of the ecclesiastical courts, as they were at sea on these dates. Admission to a Massachusetts Bay church, presumably Watertown, prior to 6 November 1632 implied by freemanship. He must soon have transferred his membership to the Cambridge church, and became elder of that church, for Winthrop reports that at the General Court held on 3 September 1634 "Mr. Goodwin, a very reverend and godly man, being the elder of the congregation of Newtown, having, in heat of argument, used some unreverend speech to one of the assistants, and being reproved for the same in open court, did gravely and humbly acknowledge his fault, etc." [WJ 1:169-70]; this episode does not appear in the official records of the General Court. At Hartford William Goodwin was the leader of the group which disputed with Rev. Samuel Stone [WJ 1:169-70, footnote; CCCR 1:318]. FREEMAN: 6 November 1632 [MBCR 1:367]. EDUCATION: On 24 February 1661/2 and on 1 February 1663/4 William Goodwin "in the name of the rest of the trustees" wrote long and learned letters from Hadley to the court at Hartford, regarding the settling of the estate of Mr. Hopkins [CCCR 1:374-75, 578-79; see also WJ 1:273-75]. Committee to "gather up [those passages of God's providence which have been remarkable since our first undertaking these plantations], and deliver them into the General Court in April next, and if it be judged then fit, they may be recorded," 10 October 1639 [CCCR 1:39]. On 22 June 1636 William Goodwin addressed a letter to John Winthrop Jr. from "Sekioge [Hartford]," reporting earlyhappenings at Hartford. OFFICES: Deputy for Cambridge to General Court, 14 May 1635 [MBCR 1:116]. Appointed to committee "to consider of the act of Mr. Endicott, in defacing the colors," 6 May 1635 [MBCR 1:145]. Committee to deal with "Soheage, an Indian the sachem of Pyquaagg now called Wythersfield," 5 April 1638 [CCCR 1:20]. ESTATE: Granted a cowyard of three roods in Cambridge, 5 August 1633 [CaTR 5]. Granted two acres in "the mead[ow] next Wattertowne weir," 21 April 1635 [CaTR 12]. Granted a proportional share of three in meadow ground, 20 August 1635 [CaTR 13]. Granted two acres between Charlestown path and the common pales, 8 February 1635/6 [CaTR 17]. In the Cambridge land inventory, on 20 August 1635, William Goodwin was listed with eight parcels of land: one house with backside in town, about half a rood; three roods in Cowyard Row; two acres and a half in Old Field; two acres in Old Field; fourteen acres and a half in the Neck of Land; one acre and a rood in the Ox Marsh; three acres and one rood in Long Marsh; and thirteen acres in the Great Marsh [CaBOP 12-13]. (Most of this land passed into the hands of Samuel Shepard [CaBOP 77].) In the Hartford land inventory of February 1639 "Mr. William Good~wing elder there in Christ Church" held twenty-two parcels, seven of which had been granted to him: three acres with dwelling house, outhouses, yards and gardens; one acre, one rood and ten perches in the Little Meadow; thirty acres, three roods and twelve perches of meadow and swamp in the North Meadow; four acres and thirty-four perches on the east side of the Great River; fourteen acres in the Old Oxpasture; eight acres in the Cowpasture; and twenty-eight acres, three roods and twenty-eight perches on the west side of the Little River. Among the remaining parcels, acquired by purchase, was "one parcel belonging to Mr. Goodwin & to John Crow jointly lying on the east side of the Great River," which they had bought from several persons, totalling seven hundred sixty-six acres [HaBOP 23-28]. On 26 March 1645 "Mr. William Goodwin of Hartford upon Connecticut River, ruling elder in the Church of Christ there, and John Crow of the same town, planter," sold to "Thomas Newell of Tunkses Sepos [Farmington] and John Standly of Hartford ... all our buildings and dividend or dividends of land made or to be made at Tunkses Seposs" [Farmington LR 1:54]. On 3 October 1654 Connecticut court gave "Mr. Will[iam] Goodwin liberty to make use of what timber from the waste land belonging to the country he shall have occasion for to keep his saw mill in employment" [CCCR 1:262]. On 14 March 1660/1 Connecticut court "having heard the case respecting Jeremie and John Adams and Edward Stebbing, respecting the sale of the homelot of Thomas Greenhill, at Hartford, do sentence and conclude, that the said sale of that lot by Edward Stebbing to Mr. Goodwin is a legal sale: the sale being acknowledged by Edward Stebbin in open court" [CCCR 1:362]. BIRTH: By about 1591 based on date of first marriage. DEATH: Farmington 11 March 1673 [Farm VR Barbour 58, citing FarmLR 2:141]. MARRIAGE: (1) Shalford, Essex, 7 November 1616 Elizabeth White, daughter of Robert White of Messing, Essex [NEHGR 55:24]; she died before January 1669/70. (2) After 7 December 1654 and by January 1669/70 Susan (Garbrand) Hooker, widow of Rev.THOMAS HOOKER; she died at Farmington 17 May 1676 [Farm VR Barbour 58, citing FarmLR 2:141]. CHILD: With first wife i ELIZABETH, b. say 1620; m. by about 1640 John Crow of Hartford (probably as his second wife, since his eldest daughter Esther was born about 1628 and so was too old to be daughter of Elizabeth Goodwin) [Goodwin Gen 105-07]. In 1674 "Ozias Goodwin aged 78 years and W[illia]m Goodwin aged about 45 years" testified that "Mr. W[illia]m Goodwin deceased and Mr. John Crow his son-in-law ... were copartners in their buyings and sellings" [Goodwin Gen 107-08, citing Connecticut Archives, Private Controversies, Volume One]. ASSOCIATIONS: William Goodwin's first wife, Elizabeth White, was sister of Mary White, wife of Joseph Loomis of Braintree, and of Anna White, wife of John Porter of Windsor [NEHGR 55:22-31]. Ozias Goodwin, who first appears at Hartford in 1639, was a brother of William Goodwin. On 19 December 1661 "`the town [Hadley] renewed Osias Goodwin's former grant' on certain conditions, which Mr. William Goodwin undertook to perform `for his brother'" [Goodwin Gen 91, citing Hadley Town Records]. COMMENTS: Included in list of those to provide pales for common, with assignment of 20 rods, dated 7 January 1632/3 (although the list was actually compiled later) [CaTR 5]. At Hampshire court on 17 March 1662/3 "Sergeant Stebbins of Springfield attorney for Mr. Goodwin of Hadley" complained against widow Sackett of Springfield, adminstratrix, and William Blomfield, adminstrator to the estate of Symon Sackett deceased, in a matter of debt and the court ruled for the plaintiff [Pynchon Court 267-68]. BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: The family of William Goodwin has been especially well treated in print, due mostly to the patronage of James Junius Goodwin and the research of Frank Farnsworth Starr. In 1891 a number of authors, at the behest of James Junius Goodwin, wrote lengthy chapters which were gathered as The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut, Descendants of William and Ozias Goodwin(Hartford 1891), cited herein as Goodwin Gen. A biographical account of William Goodwin himself was prepared by Rev. George Leon Walker (pp. 77-94), and a similar treatment of Ozias Goodwin was done by Charles J. Hoadly (pp. 97-102). Frank Farnsworth Starr compiled the genealogies of the descendants of these two immigrants (pp. 105ff.). James Junius Goodwin then commissioned Starr to compile an account of some of his ancestral lines, which did not include any Goodwin material, presumably since that had already been published in 1891 (Various Ancestral Lines of James Goodwin and Lucy (Morgan) Goodwin of Hartford, Connecticut, 2 volumes [Hartford 1915], cited herein as Goodwin Anc). Finally, the same team produced a massive three-volume set based on decades of research on the Goodwin name in England (English Goodwin Family Papers, Being Material Collected in the Search for the Ancestry of William and Ozias Goodwin, Immigrants of 1632 and Residents of Hartford, Connecticut, 3 volumes [Hartford 1921], cited herein as Goodwin Papers). The material of most interest to descendants of William Goodwin may be found in Volume Two (pp. 1123-24, 1171-77).
