Re: GOODHIND William; ENG; 1800-1888 In article <6ec026$fce@bl-4.rootsweb.com>, acmngt@javanet.com wrote: GOODHIND William; ENG; 1800-1888 William Goodhind was married to Ann Norman probably in the 1820's, apparently both of Devonshire. They had thirteen children, some, maybe all, born in Dartford, Kent: William, Henry, Frederick, Mary Ann, eMartha, James, Richard, George, Sarah, Thomas, Alfred, Lizzie and John. Most brothers served apprenticeships in the Pheonix Mills in Dartford, then imigrated to the US (via New York Port) and settled in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Not all came at the same time. Of the 13 children, it appears only 5 of the brothers came (Henry, Frederick, James, Richard, and John). There is a story that James had a son he left behind in England, and then married again in Massachusetts. My great-grandfather was John Goodhind. I know nothing about the remaining family in England. ANY connection to the Goodhind name would be appreciated as it appears to be unusual and there may be a connection. Thanks, so much/ Cindy Palmer acmngt@javanet.com Cindy I hace a forebear who married a GOODHIND in Devon. Here is the little I have: A lady called Squire Sister to my direct line John Squire), married a Goodhind. I the Cullompton, Devon Parish Record the following Goddhind parents noted by a contact of mine in Devon for the years 1831 -1849: William & Ann (papermaker); Henry & Mary (butcher); William & Jane (carier(; Richard & Anne (comber [as in wool comber]); Samuel & Sarah (labourer/dairyman/yeoman). You might need a Devon searcher to look at the Cullompton PR as I could find none on the LDS list of available films.
