~ HOSEA GOODENOW, b. 3 Dec 1829 ~ Related Surnames - WHITE, HAVILAND Hosea Goodenow, formerly President of the Jackson County Bank, is recognized as one of the oldest citizens of the Hawkeye State, to which he came in 1846 - the year it was admitted into the Union as a State. To this day he remembers many of the incidents of the overland journey with the teams from Warren County, N.Y., to Schenectady, where they boarded a canal boat by which they reached Buffalo, and from there proceeded by a Lake steamer to Chicago. From that point they traveled with teams across the State of Illinois to this county - then a wild prairie with few inhabitants save the denizens of the prairie and forest. At that time the greater part of the land in Iowa was the property of Uncle Sam, and most of the settlers had located within a radius of twenty-five miles along the river. Deer, turkeys, prairie chickens and other wild game was plentiful, also wolves from which the few sheep belonging to the settlers had to be carefully guarded. During the winter of 1847 ! a flock of deer came to the fold and fed with the sheep belonging to the Goodenow family. The latter at their cabin home endured all the privations incident to life on the frontier, and battled with the elements of the new soil, the difficulties of transportation to a distant market, the scarcity of money and sometimes of provisions, and the thousand and one drawbacks constantly occuring during "those times that tried men's souls." The subject of this sketch remained with his parents, assisted in the development of the homestead, and cared for them in their old age. He now owns and occupies the old farm which he conducted until the spring of 1886, when leaving it in the hands of his son he organized the Jackson County Bank, was elected its President and occupied himself in looking after its affairs. This institution started out with a capital of $50,000 and has deposits of $100,000. It exchanges with Ft. Dearborn National Bank, at Chicago, the Bank of New York City and the City Bank of Clinton, Iowa, and has become an institution popular with the business men of Jackson County, and vicinity. Its late president is a man enjoying in a marked degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens, and one who has the right judgment and business qualifications necessary to make a successful officer. Queensbury, Warren co., N.Y., was the native place of Mr. Goodenow and he was born on the 3d of December, 1829. His parents were Timothy and Betsey (White) Goodenow. Mr. Goodenow was reared on his father's farm in his native county and acquired his education in the district school. His subsequent life we have already indicated in connection with his pioneer experience in this county. When twenty-six years of age he was married May 10, 1857, to Miss Salina Haviland, who, like himself is a native of New York State. He settled with his bride at the old homestead and here they have since sojourned. They are the parents of two children only, Luke, who manages the farm, and Josephine who likewise remains under the old roof tree. Mrs. Goodenow is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Goodenow cast his first presidential vote for Pierce, and has been a Democrat but was for some years prominent in the councils of the Greenback party. He now votes with the Democrats! . He has been a man upright and honorable in his dealings and is numbered among the most enterprising citizens of Jackson County.

~ NICHOLAS GODES, b. 22 Jun 1848 ~ Related Surnames - KOCH, URBUS, KLINE, MENTZIOR, STORM Nicholas Godes, the popular Democratic Ex-Postmaster of Preston is a man of more than ordinary abilities, an extensive reader and a number one business man. Whatever he undertakes he aims to do well, and it is said by the postal clerks on the main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, that the mail from the Preston postoffice is delivered to them in better shape then that of any other postoffice along the line. This indicates in part the characteristics of Mr. Godes, who is prompt to meet his obligations of whatever kind they may be, and has thus established himself in the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens. The native place of Mr. Godes was on the other side of the Atlantic in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, in the village of Brachtenbach, Province of Wiltz, within fifteen miles of the French line, and about two and one-half miles from the Belgium line, where he was born on the 22d of June, 1848. His parents, Henry and Katrina (Koch) Godes, were natives of the same place as their son, the father born in 1796, and the mother in 1806. During that period Luxemburg was under the French Government, and the Godes family were in consequence French citizens, although of German descent. The maternal grandfather of our subject was one of the prominent men of his province and held the post of Chief Magistrate during the times of Robespierre. He lived to the advanced age of ninety years. Henry Godes, the father of our subject, was eighty years old at the time of his death which occurred in 1874, and the mother was seventy-six, and died March 7, 1881. To the parents of our subject there were born ten children, six of whom are living, and four of whom came to America. Margreta is the wife of Peter Urbus and lives in Minnesota; Susanna, piously inclined, is a Sister in the order of the De La Doctrine Chritiene, and is now living at the convent in Nacy, France; Elizabeth is the wife of John Kline, and resides at Dommelding, Luxemburg; Nicholas, of our sketch, was the next in order of birth; Sophia, Mrs. Dominique Mentzior, is a resident of Preston, this county; Claus married Miss Caroline Storm, and is farming near Defiance, Iowa; they have one child, a son. Although the mother tongue of Mr. Godes was the language of Germany, he learned French as well, becoming au fait in the dialect of la belle France, attending the public schools where both were taught, and finally attained such proficiency that he was enabled to give instruction in both the French and German tongue. In the meantime he was carefully trained by his excellent parents in the doctrines of the Catholic Church. His father was in fair circumstances, owning some property and considerably engaged in farming, stock-raising and dairying, in regard to which, Nicholas became quite well posted during his sojourn under the parental roof. When a youth of twenty years, however, Mr. Godes repaired to the city of Rheims, where he remained a period of seven years, first occupying himself at farming, and then became janitor of Petite Seminary, at Rheims. The last three years of this stay there, he was valet de chambre for Monsieur Le Comte DeSavigny, a member of one of the oldest and most highly respected families of France. The erection of his mansion, the Chauteau De Savigny, was commenced in 1863, and completed in 1867, there being employed 400 workmen for a period of nearly four years. This seven years of his life, Mr. Godes considers, was well spent, for he became well acquainted with French people and French institutions, but the goal of his aspirations was America, and the advantages there held out to the young and enterprising man, and to this land he determined to come. He went home for a short period to complete his preparations for the voyage, and set sail from Antwerp on the 6th of March, 1874, taking passage on the "Cibell" a sailing vessel of the Red Star Line, from which he stepped ashore in New York City on the 1st of April following. His destination was Natrona, Alleghany Co., Pa., where he joined some friends who had preceeded him to this country, and employed himself at first upon a farm, then in a factory. He finally emigrated to Hennepin, Putnam Co., Ill., where he was again employed on a farm, and attended an English school for two months, until the beginning of 1876. In March of the year above mentioned, Mr. Godes, pushing further Westward across the Mississippi, came to this county, took up his abode in Preston, and for two years thereafter was engaged in a lumber yard. In the meantime he had saved what he could of his earnings, and purchasing the railroad block, established a saloon and billiard hall, which he operated seven years. At the expiration of this time, longing for the sight of his native land and the home faces, especially that of his mother, he turned his steps toward his native land, but met with a most bitter disappointment in the death of his mother, which occured a short time before his arrival. Mr. Godes spent eight months in Europe, visiting Germany, Belgium and many of the principal cities of France, the battle fields, forts, castles and cathedrals, and thus added largely to his store of knowledge. He returned to the United States in April of the year following, and settling down once more in Preston, this county, engaged in business. He has always been a man embracing every opportunity for obtaining useful information, and upon the opening of the New Orleans Exposition, in 1885, set out for the South, spending a month in and around the Crescent City. In Sept. 1885, Mr. Godes commenced the erection of his brick store building on the north side of Gillett street, which he completed the year following. This occupies an area of 55x20 feet, is one story in height, and is occupied by the postoffice, confectionery and stationery store. On the 20th of September of that year, Mr. Godes received the appointment of Postmaster of Preston, under the administration of President Cleveland, and although there was much Republican opposition to the candidate, such has been his efficiency and faithfulness, that even the opposing element has been compelled to acknowledge that Mr. Godes has been the best Postmaster which Preston has ever had. That same year also he was elected Township Clerk, which position he resigned in order to enter upon the duties of the larger office. The postoffice building was erected by Mr. Godes who also added the furniture and fixtures. It is a shapely structure with a plate glass front and is an ornament to ! the town. The Democrats were anxious to retain Mr. Godes in his present office as also were many Republicans, but on the 22nd of March, 1889, he resigned the office of Postmaster, on the incoming of the Republican administration, although not relieved by his successor until the 1st of June, 1889. He has been quite prominent in local politics, serving as a delegate to the various conventions, and in the year 1887, was a delegate from the District Convention to represent the Postmasters of the district in the Second National Convention of Postmasters held at Washington, D.C. He was also a delegate to the Democratic State Convention at Cedar Rapids, which nominated Whiting for Governor. In 1888 he was a delegate to the Congressional Convention at Davenport, and often takes his seat in the Democratic County Conventions. In March, 1889, Mr. Godes purchased the Preston Lumber Yard, and there is every reason to suppose that he will conduct it successfully, as he possesses undoubted business ability, and is uniformly courteous to all those with whom he has dealings.

~ MILTON GODARD, b. 25 Jan 1814 ~ Related Surnames - MOSES, REED, RYEL, CAMPBELL, CLARK, GILLETT, CREVLING, CRANE Milton Godard is entitled to representation in this Biographical Album as a pioneer of Jackson, who has been an important factor in bringing it to its present high position as a great acricultural centre of one of the finest farming regions in the country. He is numbered among the principal farmers and stock-raisers of South Fork Township, where more than forty years ago he located as one of its earliest settlers, and now owns and manages a large and finely improved farm which he has developed from the prairies by the labor of his hands. He has built comfortable, roomy barns for the shelter of his cattle, besides other necessary buildings. He comes of a good old New England family, and was himself a native of Connecticut, born in Granby, Hartford County, Jan. 25, 1814. His father, Grove Godard, was born in the same town, July 12, 1786, and was a son of John Godard, who is supposed to have been a native of the same town, where he carried on farming, and spent his last years. He was a gallant soldier in the War of 1812. The father of our subject was reared in the place of his nativity, and was married in that county to Aura Moses, May 12, 1808. Her father, Lieut. Moses, an officer in the State militia, was a native of Connecticut, and died in Canton, where he had been engaged as a farmer. After his marriage Mr. Godard settled on a farm belonging to his wife, and followed farming until his death, Jan. 31, 1853. The mother of our subject was born in North Canton, Feb. 1, 1793, and surviving her husband many years, she died March 23, 1876, in the home where she had been reared. She had four children by her m! arriage with the father of our subject - Climena, Sophronia, Milton, and Jerome. The subject of this biographical review, was reared on the farm that had been his birthplace, and attending the district school until he was twenty years of age, obtained an excellent foundation for an education which was afterward supplemented by two terms attendance at a select school. He resided with his parents until after his marriage, and then established a home of his own. In the month of April, 1836, he started for Ohio with his family, traveling on the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound to New York City, thence by the Hudson River and Erie Canal to Buffalo, and from there by lake to Ashtabula, Ohio, and from there by stage to his destination in Fowler, Trumbull County. He was a pioneer of that part of Ohio, buying fifty acres of partly improved land, with a small frame house and barn on it. In 1834 he came to Iowa to investigate, intending, if he liked the country, to invest in some land with a view of settling here. He started October 12, and arrived at S! pringfield, as Maquoketa was then called, November 23. He found the country not far removed from its primitive wilderness. At that time there were but five houses on the present site of Maquoketa, and four of them were rude structures built of logs. He bought a claim to a tract of land included in his present farm, paying therefore $5. The following winter he devoted his time to getting out lumber to build with, and the next spring rented some improved land, and engaged in farming. In the fall he went back to Ohio, and remained there until the spring of 1845, when he returned to Jackson County with his family, coming by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to Bellevue, and from there drove with a team to his future home. There were no railways then, and for some time Bellevue was the nearest market, and for years deer and other kinds of wild game were plenty, and the Indians still lingered in the neighborhood, being driven West only by advancing civilization. The years of ! toil that followed his settlement, have been amply rewarded, as we have seen, and he is now numbered among the well-to-do citizens of South Fork. Mr. Godard was twice married. His first wife wad Eunice Reed, a daughter of Sterling Reed, a native of Southwick, Mass. In July, 1844, in the pioneer home of herself and husband in Trumbull County, Ohio, she departed this life, leaving one child as the fruit of her marriage, Alphonso, who was born Nov. 18, 1836. He enlisted June 31, 1861, in the 31st Iowa Infantry, and served bravely until his discharge on account of disability, and returning home died soon after, one of the many martyrs who sacrificed themselves for their country. He left two children, Mary E. and Henry M. Mary married Roscoe Ryel, and they have three children; Henry married Ida Campbell, and they are the parents of three children. The marriage of our subject to his present wife, formerly Miss Amaret Clark, was solemnized Nov. 18, 1844. She was born in Southwick, Hampden Co., Mass., March 26, 1817. Her father, Samuel Clark, was also a native of the old Bay State, and was a son of Capt. Reuben Clark, a farmer in that State. The father of the latter was a native of Wales. Capt. Clark was an officer in the Revolution, and besides owning a farm and managing it, he was a manufacturer of powder, and lost his life in an explosion at his factory. Mrs. Godard's father was reared and married in his native State, and in 1835, accompanied by his family, he started for Ohio with three horses, a wagon, and a sleigh, intending to use either vehicle as the roads demanded. He located among the early settlers of Hartford Township, Trumbull County, and bought a farm and tilled the soil until his death. The maiden name of Mrs. Godard's mother was Perlia Gillett, and she was a native of Massachusetts, and a daughter! of Isaac and Susanna Gillett. She died on the home farm in Hartford. Mrs. Godard was educated in the academy at Southwick, and when only fifteen, commenced teaching, taught two terms in Massachusetts, and afterward taught in Connecticut and Ohio until her marriage. The married life of Mr. and Mrs. Godard has been blessed to them by the birth of four children: Loyal and Lucia Maria. Two died in infancy. Loyal, who remains on the home farm, married Emma Crevling, and they have five children - Elmer, Martin, Milton, Harley, and an infant unnamed; Lucia married Cephas Crane, of this township, and they have two children, Aura A., and Lura E. Mr. and Mrs. Godard are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and their daily lives are guided by high Christian principles. Mr. Godard was in early life a Whig in his political views, but on the formation of the Republican party, believing its policy best in the guidance of National affairs, he fell into its ranks, and has ever since been one of its followers. He is a man whose personal character is without blemish, and he is reverenced and esteemed by the people among whom he has lived in peace and friendship for nearly half a century.

~ JACOB GLASER, b. 6 Jul 1838 ~ Related Surnames - ACKERMAN, TEUFEL, WENCHEK, MERRILL, ROBERTS, POTTS, CARPENTER, CREAVLIN, BRIGGS Misc. Surnames - Northrup, Schellenbarger Jacob Glaser, a veteran of the late war who honorably served his adopted country in the time of her greatest trial, is prosperously engaged in business in Maquoketa as a cabinet-maker and furniture dealer, and also carried on undertaking. He is a practical embalmer, having attended a course of lectures given by Prof. Sullivan in Sterling, Ill. He has a well-appointed establishment, with a large supply of furniture, and has an extensive trade. Our subject is a native of Wurtemburg, Germany, born July 6, 1838. His father, Ludwig Glaser, was a native of the same place, which is supposed to have been the home of his ancestry for many generations. Jacob Glaser, the great-grandfather of our subject, was a farmer, and spent his entire life in Wurtemburg, and there his son Jacob, grandfather of our subject, was bred to the life of a farmer. He subsequently became a soldier, and served under Napoleon in the Russian campaign, and suffered all the horrors of the terrible retreat from Moscow, he being one of the sixteen survivors. He died in his native land. The father of our subject was reared on a farm, and continued to live in the land of his nativity until 1866. In that year he came to America, and settled near Maquoketa, buying a farm in South Fork Township. He was engaged in agricultural pursuits a few years, and then, removing to Jones County, his remaining years were passed there. The maiden name of his wife was Elizabeth Ackerman, and she was also a native of Wurtemburg, being a daughter of Jacob Ackerman, likewise a native of that ancient German city. He was presumably a zealous Lutheran, and, not liking the significance of his family name, Teufel, had it changed to Ackerman. The mother of our subject died in her native land in 1844, leaving four children, all of whom came to America: Jacob, Ludwig, George, and John. Ludwig lives in Butler County, George and John in Maquoketa. The father married a second time, and had four children by his second marriage, all of whom came to this country - Frederic, Johan C., M! ary, and Barbara. Barbara lives in Clinton County, and the others in Maquoketa. The subject of this sketch attended the public schools of his native land quite steadily until fourteen years of age, when he commenced to learn the trade of a cabinet-maker, serving an apprenticeship of one and one-half years. In 1854 he came to the United States, setting sail from Havre and landing in New York thirty days later. He found himself a poor boy in a strangle land, but he had a stout, courageous heart, was ambitious to better his condition, and was willing to do anything honorable to further his aim. He proceeded immediately to Galena, Ill., where he served another year and a half at his trade, becoming very skillful at it, and after that he did journeyman work for a while. In 1858 he came to Iowa, and in Bellevue worked at the carpenter's trade two years. Thence he came to Maquoketa, and resumed his old trade of a cabinet-maker, finding employment in the shop of Northrup & Schellenbarger, remaining with them until 1862. In August of that year he put aside! all personal considerations, and, with true patriotism went to the front to help fight the battles of his adopted country. His name was enrolled as a member of Company F., 31st Iowa Infantry, and he marched to the scene of action with his regiment. He nearly lost his life at the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, being very severely wounded, and had to spend some time in the hospital. He was honorably discharged from the army in May, 1863, and returned home, but still carries a memento of his faithful service in the ball that was lodged in his limb in the desperately-fought battle of Chickasaw Bayou. After his return to the North, Mr. Glaser resumed work for the same old firm that had employed him before he entered the army, and in 1866, after the death of Mr. Schellengarger, he bought his interest, and became Mr. Northrup's partner. They continued the business together until February, 1889, when our subject bought his partner's interest, and has since conducted it alone very ! successfully, and derives therefrom a good annual income. Mr. Glaser has been twice married. He was first married, in 1860, to Frances Wenchek, a native of Bohemia, and a daughter of Frank and Frances Wenchek. She came to America with her parents, and her death occurred March 18, 1869. Three children had been born of her brief and happy wedded life, as follows: Frank, Mary, and George. Frankie married Charles Merrill, and they have one child, Bessie. Mary married Al Roberts. Mr. Glaser was married to his present wife, formerly Mrs. Frances Iowa (Potts) Wenchek, in 1869, and to them have been born six children, namely: Edna, Edward, J. Erwin, Dorchester, Bessie and Carl. Mrs. Glazer is a native of this State, born in Deep Creek Township, Clinton Co., June 7, 1842. Her father, William L. Potts, was born in Pottsville, Pa., and was reared and educated in Philadelphia, Pa. He was married in Trenton, N.J., and in 1820 started westward in company with his wife's parents. They touched at Chicago, then a trading-post and fort, and from there proceeded to Green Bay, Wis. There were no white settlers in that State at that time, and Mr. Potts was engaged in trading with the Indians for awhile, but later he removed to Galena, and coast in his lot with its early settlers. He kept books there some years for a mining company, and in 1838 emigrated across the Mississippi River into the Territory of Iowa. He located at Sabula, where but few settlers were! then living, and he managed a horse ferry and established the Iowa Exchange, the only hotel in the place at that time. From there he removed to Clinton County three years later, and tried farming a short time. We next hear of him in Andrew, this county, and in the spring of 1851 he set out from there to make an overland journey across the plains to California, he having command of a train of fifty wagons. He did not return to Jackson County until 1879, and in the meantime traveled extensively throughout the Pacific States and Territories, and in Mexico. In the year mentioned he visited his relatives and friends in Jackson County for a few months, and then returned to California, and in 1885 his life closed in Eureka, that State. The maiden name of Mrs. Glaser's mother was Margaret Carpenter, and she was a native of Trenton, N.J. Her father, Samuel Carpenter, who is supposed to have been a native of the same State, was a man of great push and enterprise, and in 1827 h! e sought the Great West in the interests of the Hudson Bay Fur Company, and located at Green Bary, Wis., being an early settler there. He afterward became a pioneer of Galena, Ill., and, opening the Mansion House to the traveling public, kept a hotel for a long time, it being considered the leading hotel in the Northwest. He managed it until it was burned down, and during the time was also engaged in smelting. In 1838 he came to the Territory of Iowa and settled in Deep Creek Township, Clinton County, and was one of its first settlers. He entered quite a large tract of Government land, and resided there until his death, in 1845. The maiden name of his wife was Fanny Creavlin. She was married a second time after his death, becoming the wife of Gov. Ansil Briggs, and died in 1860. Mrs. Glaser's mother resides at Alta, Cal., and is now seventy-three years old. She has six children - Margaret, Elizabeth, William, Francis, Nene, and Samuel. Mrs. Glaser has been twice marr! ied, her first husband having been John Wenchek. Mr. Glaser is connected with the following social organizations: The A.W. Dripps Post, G.A.R; Timber City Lodge, A.O.U.W.; and Crescent Assembly, K. of L. His course since coming to this country, whether in times of war or in peace, has always been that of a loyal, law-abiding citizen, one who does credit to the citizenship of his community, and he is regarded with esteem wherever known. His practical business qualities, combined with thrift and a tenacious will, have made him successful thus far in life, and he is classed among the solid men of the city.

Thanks for the listing of the Sinkey names. I do not know what Bill, the genealogist, will be able to find. He has access to several online and off-line things and does free look-ups. He tried to follow some of my lines, but he has not really looked into the Sinkey line. Nancy Houston's father, Andrew, is a mystery also, but I think he has located him with the Huntington, PA bunch. I have info on the Green side coming out of Berkeley County, VA if you are interested. Cindy

My line is Howard, son of Albert, son of Wm & Angeline, son of Matthew & Nancy, son of Wm. & Mary McCartney, son of Richard & Bridgihd, 1789 PA. I would be very interested in contacting this genealogist that you mentioned if you know who it is. I am at a dead end with Richard, maybe that person has more info.
