The BOWERMAN clan seem to have NY roots, probably came to MI close to the time of that burial because of recruitment for pioneers by land speculators. Bonds formed during those moves may have run deep for generations. Ezra WILLSON and his parents were b. VT. There is a HUBBARD, a few BAKER, and of course the BOWERMAN clan. I think the old guy spelled BOARDMAN may have been phonetically boreman, likely BOWERMAN. Maybe. Notice that "Silias BOARDMAN" d. 1822 at age 74 -- that would sure put his clan in early Barry Co. MI. I wonder if the transcriber found the stone hard to read. The next 1-2 generations of WILLSON are at Yankee Springs cemetery. That's all I've found that may help place your GOODELL.
