Surnames: Goodwin Smith Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.minnesota.counties.faribault/1552/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for more information on Benjamin F. Goodwin and his wife Elizabeth R. (Smith) Goodwin. Benjamin was born abt. 1839 in Michigan. His family then moved to Manitowoc County area. He became a soldier in Company E 14th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry and mustered out as a Lieutenant. He married Elizabeth R. Smith, daughter of Daniel Smith. Elizabeth was born April 1842 in New York. The couple had three children. Arthur B. born June 1867 in Wisconsin Grace C. born June 1874 in Minnesota and another child that was born and died prior to 1900 and did not appear on the 1900 census. Benjamin died in 1898. Elizabeth in 1909. Both are buried in the Riverside Cemetery, Verona Township, Fairbault County. Elizabeth's father was the founder of Mishicot, Manitowoc Wisconsin settling there in 1844. I would be very interested in any family photos that could be included in a pictorial of the Smith family life at the Mishicot Museum and any other tidbits anyone can share. Are there any history books of the area that may have included them in where I could find more information. Thank you in advance for your time. Ellen-
