Re: Betty Seprodi's inquiry 8/11/2004: " Ancestor George Gooderl b?, m. about 1782 Chester Co., Pa. Parents of 4 sons and 3 daughters. Know of George Jr. b Jan. 30, 1790, m Isabel Burns 1812 Chester Co., PA. Died July 26, 1880 Guernsey Co., O. Know also of a dau., Abigail m. Joshua Hammond 4/30/1818 in O. Need Mary's birth, maiden name, and any info possible. Found George in Heads of Families, PA as George Goodagle, Chester Co. George, listed on tax rolls of Chester Co., Pa (E. & W. Marlborough Twps>) from 1786 thru 1817. Listed at 'laborer' owning no land. In 1790, census listed him as George Goodagle, 1800 census listed him as George Goodettle. They moved to Belmont Co., O where George, sr. died. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated. Also any info. on Isabel's parents, John and Anna Burns. Thanks, Betty" I found this at the Historical Society some years ago: Source: Bart Anderson's "Descendants of William and Elizabeth (Bowater) Pusey", vol. I, 1960, compilation at CCHS, p. 1315 Bart, the CCHS librarian at the time, noted that Mary Bailey, daughter of John Bailey, Jr. and Lydia Wickersham, had been disowned by the New Garden Meeting 11.4.1780 for marrying 'George Goodeagle' (not a member) by Baptist teacher. You've noted the evolving names in the censuses: 1790 (West Marlborough): George Goodagle 1800 (East Marlborough) George Goodettle 1810 (West Marlborough) George Gooderl 1820 (gone) History of Guernsey C ounty, Ohio f or the Gooderls show they came from Chester County, that George Sr. moved first to Belmont County in 1817 where he died. In 1824 the family moved to Guernsey County where they stayed for many years. George Gooderl, Jr. was born 1792 in Chester County and died in Guernsey Co., OH in 1880 . In the same county a 'Bailey Gooderl' died 5-24-1846, aged 55y, 6mo, 22d, the right age to be a brother to George. Mary Bailey was born in 1760 acc. to Bart Anderson. Acc. to findagrave.com, Mary Gooderl died in 1847, and is buried in the Salem Baptist Church Cemetery in the same town as Bailey Gooderl. Findagrave lists Mary's birth as 1760. So, I think the pieces fit to conclude that your Mary's surname was Bailey. No idea on Isabella Burns. John
