| 1787Resided in Somersworth and Rochester, NH. The names of his children indicate relationship with the Kittery family. Elisha Hayes of Lebanon wrote Captain Goodwin in 1871 that Samuel Goodwin, born 1753 and married Sarah Hodsdon, was a cousin to Thomas Goodwin who married Anna Hodsdon, sister to Sarah. This statement was evidently a mistake as Thomas Goodwin was the son of Slisha, who was the eldest son of Thomas (1697 - son of Thomas) and that this Thomas had no son Richard, so far as my investigation goes. Thomas, third son of Daniel, married Mehitable Plaisted perhaps about 1685-7. She was captured by the Indians in 1689-90 and then had an infant son whom the indians killed. She was a prisoner for five years, returning in 1695. She had son, Thomas, in 1697. Captain Goodwin;s records show that Samuel, born 1753, was a son of Richard, and the Dover records show Richard as a son of Richard, who was undoubtedly a grandson of Daniel, but unless Richard was the son of Thomas and Mehitable before her capture, which seems unlikely, I can only account for him as a supposed son of James. |
