Another mention of William GOODWIN is in History of Hadley. Mass. by Sylvester Judd. "Ruling Elder William GOODWIN in Hadley, Mass. came from Hartford, Conn." This bears out what was in the genealogy by TALCOTT which states that he moved to Hadley. JUDD genealogy has him in Hadley in 1659, in the Congregational Church.

GOODRIDGE - GOODWIN

History of Industry, Maine., by Hatch p. 626:
John GOODRIDGE, born in Alfred, Me., 17 March 1773, married Hannah GOODWIN, published 5 Oct. 1799. Hannah was born in Shapleigh, Me., 4 May 1778. He settled on the farm near Goodridge Corner, Industry.
His log cabin was afterward occupied by Elisha LUCE. After a few years sojourn, John moved away, and all traces of him has been lost.

*Note by Carla FOSTER, Bingham, Me.:
John GOODRIDGE moved to Lexington, Me. in 1818, one of the very early settlers. This is the reason "all trace of him lost" in Industry. Lexington is now an unorganized township, run by the state, and is located in Somerset Co., 10 miles north of New Portland, Me., in the Dead River Country. In 1850 Census of Lexington, Me., John GOODRIDGE is living with Nathan GOODRIDGE, possibly a son or nephew. Hannah GOODWIN his wife must have died before this time. Cannot locate graves or stones for either one in the Lexington Cemetery. John is not listed in the 1860 census, so prob. died bet. 1850-60.

[What this obituary does not say: Mother was a very bright, self educated woman. She was active in many community projects - the PTA, her church, and the DAR, and her political party. She was very versatile; she could can, sew, crochet, embroider, and tat. She was the kind of person her neighbors consulted when they needed advice. Like Edna St. Vincent Millay's mother, "She had a bit of granite in her."

Mrs. Fola BEVAN also sent an interesting clipping from the Millvilla, N.J. newspaper for 17 Oct. l981 which shows a picture of her cousin Chester H. GOODWIN 3rd who is 49 years old and the mayor of Millville finishing a 10.4 mile Cops Run For Kids. He was one of the first three to finish. The run was to raise donations for the Sunshine Foundation whose goal is to bring happiness to the lives of seriously ill children by fulfilling their dreams for special trips.]

PLAISTED LINEAGE, by Alice GOODWIN

Many of us, as I am, are proud to be able to claim Mehitable PLAISTED, daughter of Roger PLAISTED, killed by Indians in 1675, wife of Thomas GOODWIN, as one of our progenitors.
Much has been written about the capture of Mehitable by the Indians in 169O and after being taken captive to Canada was brought back in 1695 by Captain Matthew CAREY. Dotty KEYES, who is now our Vice-President, did a very well researched and interesting booklet entitled Roger Plaisted Memorial 1675-1975. Other sources about Mehitable are contained in Cotton MATHER'S Magnalia and New England Captives Carried to Canada by Emma L. COLEMAN.
Roger PLAISTED chr. 1624, Mildenhall, Wiltshire, England. Killed by Indians 16 Oct. 1675 Salmon Falls, N.H. Married Olive COLEMAN.

FREE PRESS, Thurs. Aug. 20, 1908 GOODWIN FAMILY REUNION, 1908

South Berwick has long been a mecca of family gatherings, but it was reserved for the year 1908 to witness the first rally of the clans of one of the largest and most influential families of them all.
It was in the brain of Miss Sarah Goodwin that the idea of a Goodwin family reunion first took shape and to her efforts and those of her brother Thomas J. Goodwin, is due its successful outcome in the meeting at Quamphegan park on Tuesday, August 11, where some eighty descendants of Daniel Goodwin, the emigrant, enjoyed a social day together and organized for further action.

Daniel Goodwin was the son of Daniel and Dorothy Goodwin of Yoxford, in Suffolk County, England, and came to this country with his brother Stephen, who settled in Charlestown, Mass. He married first a daughter of Thomas Spencer who purchased from the Sachem Rowles the entire tract of land on which the village of South Berwick, including Great Works, now stands, second, Mrs. Sarah (Sanders) Turbet, daughter of John Sanders and wife of Peter Turbet.

The date of his coming is not definitely known, but the Kittery records show these grants of land to him; December 16, 1652, a marsh adjoining Barnard Squirer's lott; July 15, 1656, ten acres of meadow land by Wilcox's pond; June 24, 1659, ten acres of swamps, five on ye upper end of Humphrey Chadbourne's meadow on the further side of Obonnibessie pond, and five acres near York pond; May 28, 1670, one hundred acres on the north side ye pond; March 4, 1673/4 sixty-nine acres upland marsh and swamp at the place called Slut's Corner.

Daniel Goodwin's name heads the list of the founders of the First Parish Congregational church, June 4, 1702, and as Mrs. Sarah Goodwin, a widow, was admitted to that church in 1703, he did not long survive. His children were Daniel, [who] married Amie, daughter of Miles Thompson, William, who married Deliverance, daughter of John Talor; Moses, who married Abigail ---,; Thomas, who married Mehitable Plaisted who though carried into captivity in Canada bv the Indians in March, 1689-90, - where she remained five years, lived to return, and bore two sons; Thomas, born July 12, 1697, and Ichabod, born June 17, 1700.

The farm in Berwick on which Thomas and Mehitable lived is the one now owned by Hon. George S. Goodwin, a grandson of Captain James Goodwin, who was a qreat - grandson of Daniel Goodwin and who married Sally Griffith.
After an informal dinner, those present at Quamphegan Park elected Mr. John E. Hobbs of North Berwick, chairman and Moses E. Goodwin, of Eliot, secretary pro tem. Thomas J. Goodwin of South Berwick, Richard L. Goodwin of South Berwick, Moses E. Goodwin of Rockport, Mass., and Warren Goodwin of North Waterboro, Me., were chosen to formulate an organization and nominate officers. They recommended the officers should be a president, a corresponding secretary, a recording secretary, an executive committee of three with power to fill vacancies in the list of officers occurring between the annual meetings and take such action as would best advance the interests of the association, and a historical committee of four. They recommended that the meeting should be at the call of the executive committee. The following officers were unanimously elected.

President, Thomas J. Goodwin, South Berwick; vice presidents, Richard L. Goodwin, Berwick, Alpheus Goodwin, Rockport, Mass., Warren Goodwin, North Waterboro, Me.; corresponding secretary, Wilbur D. Spencer, Berwick, Me.; recording secretary, Mrs. Ella E. Plumer, Rollinsford; Treasurer, True E. Goodwin, South Berwick, Me.; executive committee, Moses E. Goodwin, Thomas J. Goodwin, Richard L. Goodwin; historical committee, Mrs. Jeremiah J. Goodwin, Portsmouth, Wilbur D. Spencer, Berwick, John E. Hobbs, North Berwick, Eugene F. Weeden, Somersworth.
Letters were read from Almon J. Goodwin of Pawtucket, R.I., John S. Goodwin of Chicago, author of a pamphlet in regard to the Goodwin family, and from Sarah D. Goodwin of Newburyport, daughter of Daniel Goodwin, born in Eliot July 9, 1825, son of John and Mary Hill Goodwin, who went to New York, then to Newburyport, Mass., married Sarah Blanchard Tilton, and was blessed with five children. He died at 80 after an honest life. Miss Goodwin referred to Amos Gordon Goodwin of Saco, a classmate of Oliver Wendell Holmes, who, though he died at 40, was the foremost lawyer of the county, also to researches which have traced the family lineage back to King Harold of England, who before he became king had named for him Goodwin's Sands on the coast, where the lightship bearing the Marconi apparatus for wireless telegraphy between South Portland, England, and Boulogne, France, bears on its side the name, East Goodwin.
The will of Margaret Goodwin, made long before 1652, shows the family there eminent for piety, and a very old book owned by the writer speaks of Thomas Goodwin, an eminent divine. In closing, Miss Goodwin spoke of the Goodwin name as a good name, good to win and which would win good to those who bore it.

Mr. John E. Hobbs spoke of the fact that Daniel Goodwin was a ship-builder and that his father-in-law, Thomas Spencer, married a daughter of William Chadbourne, one of three carpenters who came to Gt. Works to set up the first sawmill on the American continent, under contract with Captain John Mason, the original contract on parchment being now in the Massachusetts Historical society's archives. This contract made in 1623, says that Captain Mason is shipping two mills, a saw and grist mill to Newichiwannock, by the first conveyance obtainable. The mills arrived on the ship Pied Cowe, July 18, 1626, and were set up by Chadbourne, John Goddard and William Ward, who also helped build the church erected in 1652 at Oldfields.

After votes of thanks to Mr. Hobbs and Mrs. Plumer for their help to the association, they adjourned to a date to be fixed by the executive committee.
