My ggGrand Mother, Margeret Charlotte/Anderson/Poppleweile(Popwell)/Baker, Also came to Autauga, Baker then Chilton, Co. Al. in 1828 on a Wagon Train from Darlington, Dis. SC. Baker,Co. Was named after her son. DESCENDANTS OF THE SECOND WIFE, NANCY (???) GOODWIN. YOUNG GOODWIN - SON Young Goodwin was born in Bute (now Franklin) County, North Carolina, on April 7, 1766. He married Martha Andrews, daughter of Grey Andrews, in 1786. According to the 1790 census of Franklin County, North Carolina, they had one male 16 or under (son, William W.), and three females (ca daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, and the wife Martha). In 1804-1806, Young and his family, along with his brother, David and his family, migrated to and settled on land in Georgia, Young in Hancock County and David in neighboring Warren County. Some of Young and Martha's children were born in Franklin County, North Carolina. They were: William, Elizabeth, Mary, Theophilus Y., twins John and Emily, born in 1801 and Nauphlet, born ca 1803. Their remaining children were born in Georgia. They were, Young Jr. (1805), Turner Myrick (1808), Martha (1810), Robert (1812), Ann (1814) and Rebecca South Hall (1816). Turner Myrick Goodwin was very likely named for the Myrick family of John and Amy Goodwin Myrick. John and Amy Myrick's daughter, Lucy Jackson, also named a son Turner Myrick born ca 1812. Amy was the half sister of Young. In 1804-1806, the Myricks left Franklin County, with the Goodwins and settled in Baldwin County, Georgia, adjoining Hancock County. Young and Martha Goodwin had four children who married in Georgia. William W. Goodwin married Jane Sanders on January, 15, 1815; Elizabeth Goodwin married William Hill ca 1815 and she married her second husband, James Reid in Alabama. Theophilus Y. Goodwin married Eustacia Thompson in 1819 and later married Elizabeth Sims in Alabama; and Mary Goodwin married Richard Bird Jr., in 1814. The Mississippi Territory was opened for new settlers after the Creek Indian Wars of 1813-1814. The Alabama Territory was created from The Mississippi Territory in 1817. On February 7, 1818, the Territorial Legislature created Cahaba County. Alabama became a state on December 14, 1819. The families of Young and David Goodwin migrated to the Alabama Territory in 1817. On August 8, 1819, Young and his son, Theophilus Y. Goodwin, witnessed the will of Richard Bird Sr. Richard Bird Jr., husband of Mary Goodwin Bird, was one of the executors. The families of Young Goodwin, his brother, David Goodwin, and Richard Bird Sr., along with the families of their married children, settled on land that became Cahaba County. This land would later be in Bibb County, and at the present is in Chilton County, in and around the town of Maplesville, Alabama. Turner Myrick Goodwin, Young's son, donated five acres of land to The Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad for right-of-way in 1853. The building of this railroad, giving the cotton growers easier access to the Alabama and Tennessee riverboat traffic, resulted in the old town of Maplesville moving from it's old location to the railroad, a distance of several miles. Young Goodwin's tombstone is inscribed, "Died in September 1849 at the age of 83". Some genealogical records list Young's date of birth as April 7, 1767, but if the information on his tombstone is correct he was born in 1766. Martha Andrews Goodwin died on August 13, 1852. They are buried in the Goodwin Cemetery in Maplesville. This cemetery is well kept, with readable headstones. Fifteen Goodwins are buried there, including Julius Goodwin (son of Theophilus H.) and his wife, Margaret Kinnard Goodwin. Young Goodwin was evidently a wealthy man at the time of his death. His will shows that he gave thirty-eight Negroes plus three thousand dollars to his children . This was in addition to the remainder of his estate which he left to his wife, Martha. DAVID GOODWIN - SON David Goodwin was born in Bute (now Franklin) County, North Carolina, ca 1770. Around 1788-89, David married Temperance Andrews, daughter of Grey Andrews and sister of Martha Andrews Goodwin. In the 1790 census of Franklin County, North Carolina, David, Temperance, and their son were living in the household of his mother, Nancy Goodwin, along with his ten-year old sister, Mary Ann. The Franklin County records (F 17: 217) show that David Goodwin, on March 9, 1804 signed a deed of trust to Phillip G. Alston. Franklin records (F 17:216) show that in 1805, Phillip Alston sold his interest in land in Franklin County whereon Theophilus Goodwin formerly lived and David Goodwin afterwards lived. In 1804-1806 the families of David Goodwin, his brother Young Goodwin, and his half-sister, Amy Goodwin Myrick, left Franklin County, North Carolina, and settled on lands in Georgia. John and Amy Goodwin Myrick settled in Baldwin County. The family of David Goodwin settled in Warren County and the family of Young Goodwin settled in adjoining Hancock County. David and Young moved their families to newly opened lands in Alabama Territory in early 1817 before Alabama became a state. They settled on land in Cahaba County. This area later became Bibb County and eventually Chilton County. The children of David Goodwin and Temperance Andrews Goodwin were, David, Jr.; Elijah; Laun; Mary; Lorrain; Temperance; Henrietta; and Andrew Jackson. MARY ANN GOODWIN - DAUGHTER Mary Ann Goodwin was born in Franklin County, North Carolina on May 7, 1780. On October 5, 1800, she married Ira Portis. Children of this marriage were, Mary Ann; Joseph Pernelle; Solomon Wilder; Samuel Goodwin; David Young; MariaH.; Lavinia; and John Wesley. We know that the three sons John, Theophilus Jr., and Mark and a grandson, Theophilus, Henry's son, settled in the Ninety-Six District of South Carolina and George settled on land just to the north in Lincoln County North Carolina in the late 1700s. Their children and grandchildren migrated through Georgia to the Lowndes, Bibb, and lower Jefferson County areas of Alabama in 1825. The defeat of the Creek Indians in 1814 opened vast areas of rich farm land in the Alabama Territory. When Alabama became a state in 1819, settlers by the thousands began to pour into this new territory. The biggest influx of families settling in central Alabama along the Alabama and Cahaba rivers were from South Carolina. It seems that these South Carolina Goodwins, having heard of this new land with an abundance of waterways, wild fruit and game, hardwood forests, and rich black soil, contracted a severe case of Alabama Fever, succumbed to it, and made their way westward . Some in 1825, and some in 1832. From an examination of the ages and places of birth of the Goodwin children listed in the U.S. 1850 census of Alabama , it appears most of these families moved in 1825 and were a part of one huge wagon train. The pioneer Goodwins, however, were Young and David. They settled in the Cahaba District in 1817, before Alabama became a state. David Goodwin was my ggggGrandfather. Sorry, about, being so long!!
