| 863James Goodwin is given simply as a guess. We have record that a James Goodwin was born in Dover in 1724, who might have been of Newmarket, NH in 1775; but who would have been too young to have been the Portland, ME, James of 1733. James Goodwin (b. 1697) may have been the senior of the James and James, Jr., "being in Newmarket in 1746." This leaves the James Gooding of Portland, who had children in 1733, 1735, 1737 unaccounted for. I suggest, pending further investigation, that the James Gooding of Portland, who married Elizabeth, may have been a son of James (who m. Sarah Thompson in 1686). Whether so or not, James of Portland had three children. |
