Crawford County was formed on December 31, 1816 from Edwards County. However, the first GOODWIN I found on Crawford County census was in 1830. Looking at the 1850 census information for Ranson and Silas GOODWIN, it would appear this line of GOODWIN's came from Indiana. If anyone has any additional information, I sure would appreciate it if you would share it with me. Crawford County Census for GOODWIN: 1830 IL CRAWFORD CO.
