Ms. D. C. VOGT, Palatine, Ill.

Mrs. VOGT doesn't know if her GOODWIN line connects with Daniel GOODWIN or not but this is the information she sent and she would appreciate any help on it:

My great grandmother, Lillian Melissa (GOODWIN) LADD'S father was a John GOODWIN. I have no further information on him except he was a '49er gold miner in Calif., while his wife, Melissa J. CHAPIN stayed in Topsham, Ct. [Vt. ?] with her parents (Consider & Cynthia CHAPIN) listed in 185O census, where my grandmother, Lillian, was born in Topsham, Vy. [Vt. ?] 13 Aug. 1850. Her mother died when she was about three, and she lived with her grandparents, where she is listed on the 1860 census. At about 18 years of age, she went West to live with her father, John GOODWIN (remarried), until 1871, when she came back to Chicago, Ill. to marry my great grandfather, Henry Hildreth LADD on 4 July 1871.

Item from FOSTER'S DAILY DEMOCRAT 24 Feb. 1979, Lebanon. Me.

The Historical Society met Feb. 12 with a program presented by George STACKPOLE. He showed about 21 slides on the Pine Grove Farm when it was owned by the Goodwins. Thomas GOODWIN moved to Lebanon from Berwick in 1776 and built his house off the road in West Lebanon village. The house was moved to its present site across the road and later Jacked up to add a first story.
His grandson, Richard Horn GOODWIN, lived in the house for his entire life from 1838 to 1917. Richard's son, Charles, also lived there his entire life from 1867 to 1957. The family was an asset to the town as the buildings and fields were kept in the best condition possible and Charles served Lebanon as selectman, auditor and state legislator. At one time behind the house, the Goodwins had a saw mill and wood-storage building.

AUGUSTA KENNEBEC JOURNAL, printed 1904

This publication contained a list of Civil War Soldiers from Maine who are buried in Andersonville National Cemetery, Andersonville, Georgia. It was a report of the Maine Andersonville Monument Commissioners, S. J. Walton, L. C. Morse and Col. Levi M. Poor. Edward S. Post, superintendent of the Andersonville cemetery, wrote to Mr. Poor and gave him a complete list of the Maine soldiers who are supposed to be buried there, giving the name, grave, rank, company and regiment of every soldier. This meant sorting out these Maine soldiers from 12,942 graves so one can imagine it was quite a task.
The following were the only two soldiers by the name of GOODWIN: Marvin GOODWIN Pvt., F, 8th______ and Augustus GOODWIN, Pvt., 1, 1st Art. I [Mrs. SHARP] has [had ?] the complete list if anyone is interested in other names and will be happy to search it for them. We are indebted to Eric H. GOODWIN Jr. of Orange, Calif. for this article.

Conclusion of Ivory GOODWIN Story (From Vol. 2, Issue 1)

(E) A daughter, Mary, (Emily or Emeline or Emma) dates again unknown, married an Emery, which means almost certainly one of the old Berwick families (or Eliot, which was also full of Emerys). I have a note somewhere that says he was a dentist. They produced at least one son, Charles Emery, who, when he grew up, joined the Goodwin firm in NY and came to take a prominent part in it. (He handled the 1889 merger negotiations for the Goodwins, and became first Treasurer of the new company. (I found that by accident in a book on the Dukes!).
Grandma had pictures of his grand estate at Thousand Islands, N.Y., with a yacht moored in front. None of these Emery(s) are buried in the same family cemetery the others are. He had a daughter, Mabel, who managed or owned the Hotel Frontenac at Thousand Islands. I have pictures of his wife.
(F) Mark Fernald Goodwin, b. 1 August 1817; m. 4 Dec. 1845 Dorcas Bartlett FROST (see Stackpole, p. 423 for her family); died, according to his stone in the family cemetery and other records, on 6 May 1875. He and Dorcas had at least two children: Adraetta W. Goodwin, who m. Nathaniel Knowlton of Eliot; and George F. Goodwin.
George administered MFG's estate in 1875, but died before Adraetta, who died 16 Nov. 1909. Mark F., Dorcas, Adraetta and Nathaniel Knowlton are buried in the family cemetery, but George is not. (Note: The rest of this artical is excerpted.) Mark Fernald Goodwin inherited the family homestead. He owned "Goodwin's Landing at about the end of Waterside Lane, on the River; a lumber business and also made bricks (he made the bricks to build the Customs House in Portsmouth, N.H. Mrs. Vinton found a note of several thousand dollars owed him by the US Govt. for this). Adraetta was b. 1848 (gravestone) and d. 16 Nov. 1909. Her husband Nathaniel Knowlton was b. 11 May 1831 and d. 12 Feb. 1900.
Date of George's birth unknown. She has a picture of the family and Adraetta appeared to be about 10 or 11, and George 7 or 8. She doesn't believe that either of two children of MFG had any children. Mrs. Vinton deserves much commendation for the extended research she has done on her family and for having the family cemetery restored.

TOMBSTONE AFTERTHOUGHT
Moses Collins, founder of New Albany. Miss., 1785-1858 had this inscribed on his tall monument:
"Remember, youth, as you pass by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so you will be.
Prepare for death and follow me."

The legend is that a Civil War soldier (not identified as to Blue or Gray) scratched below that:

"Before I give my consent,
I'd like to know which way you went."
