Hello all... I have been trying to find some information on a woman referred to as Goody Goodell, who was mentioned briefly in one of my books as an accuser. I have not been able to find out her full name, though I believe she was married to a Goodell man. I am descended from the following Goodell couple who were living in Salem in 1692: ISAAC GOODELL b. 29 Mar 1670, Salem, Essex, MA d. 26 Apr 1739, Salem, Essex, MA m. 31 Dec 1692 MARY ABBEY (dau. of Samuel Abbey & Mary Knowlton) b. abt. 1674, Wenham, Essex, MA d. abt. 1739 I am descended from their son Samuel Goodell who was born in Salem in 1694. Isaac's parents were: ISAAC GOODELL b. Nov 1633, Dennington, Suffolk, England d. 1679, Salem, Essex, MA m. PATIENCE COOK I have no information about Patience yet, and I don't know when she died, so she could have been in Salem as a widow in 1692. I am guessing that she was also born in England, and they probably married there before they came here, but I only have one birthdate for and location for their children, and it is Salem in 1670. It seems to me that my Mary Abbey couldn't be this Goody Goodell, since they weren't married until after the whole thing blew over. Although, Isaac did have lots of brothers and sisters (not to mention aunts and uncles), so the "accuser" has to be in there somewhere! Can anyone help me with this? I have some more information on siblings names and such if anyone would like to e-mail me privately. I am happy to share.
