    1. Rev. Joseph GOFFE
    2. Doug and Chris Showalter

    3. Greetings, I wonder if anyone can help me find information on an early Worcester County Congregational clergyman? I am not related to him, but am doing research on him, as he was among the 21 Congregational clergy meeting in Bradford, Massachusetts in 1810 as delegates to the General Association of Massachusetts Proper, who voted to create the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). Rev. JOSEPH GOFFE served the Second Church in Sutton [later Millbury] for about 36 years until 1830. I am familiar with information on him in William Benedict's "History of the Town of Sutton, Massachusetts." However, I would like to discover the following information on him and know the sources for it, if possible: --birth date and place --seminary/college graduated from and when --death date and place --and any other interesting information about his ministry/life. Thanks, I appreciate any help, Rev. Dr. Doug Showalter
