He is decended from Dave Gooden, b. 1835- d. 1903 in Greene County. Dave's father was James Gooding b. 1813, in (West)Virginia, d. 1887 in Greene County. Dave's children changed the spelling to Goodwin--at least that's the story that was passed down, and in that line the name is now spelled Goodwin. I am interested to know about the earlier tax records, I have no earlier information on James Gooding, but am willing to assist in the search.
