| r8 - Ozias Goodwin and his elder brother, William Goodwin, were of that "goodly company" of men, women, and children, who in June, 1635 or 1636, left Newtown, New Cambridge, and other settlements in the seaboard of Massachusetts, to plant a new colony on the "delightful banks" of the Connecticut. Mr. Ozias Goodwin did not sympathize with his brother in his particular views as to church membership, and discipline, so far as to feel constrained to go out from his brethren in the church at Hartford, but continued to reside there, where he became the progenitor of most of the name now in this section of the State. His home-lot was located on the west side of what is now Trumbull Street, and on both sides of Church Street as since laid out. 211Ozias Goodwin, the head of the Connecticut family of that name, married Mary Woodward, daughter of Robert, of Braintree, England. In 1639 he had become a resident of Hartford, Conn., and in 1674 makes the following affidavit, the original being preserved in Volume I. of Private Controversies, in the Connecticut State Library: "Ozias Goodwin aged 78 yeares and Wm Goodwin aged aboute 45 yeares who each ffor himself testifieth thatt to his knowledge Mr. Wm Goodwin deceased and Mr. John Crow his son in law as wee have often heard them declare and seene itt allso in the Constant frame of thaire dealeings weare Copartners in thayer Buyings and Sellings so thatt whatt soever one of them did in Bargaineing itt was reputed as good as if the other did itt: and persons did to our observance apply them selves to eathier of them indiffrantly as parttners and thatt as well in bying and selling Land as other things thair stocks being joyned to geather into a joynt Stock as wee well know by whatt wee have often heard from them and otherwayes observed: This was most of thayr time of dwelling att Harttford and allso since. | ||||||||||
