GOODELL FAMILY.
One of the earliest families to settle in the territory now included within the limits of Millbury was the Goodell family. Its members were extensive land owners near the Blackstone River. Members of the family married with many of the other older settlers, so that its descendants have been among the most prominent and representative of Millbury people.
Asa Goodell, a soldier in the Revolution, was an early broadcloth manufact- urer. Asa Goodell, Jr., and Samuel Goodell held commissions in the militia.
At the site of the Cordis Mill and that of the Mayo No. 4, the Crane and Waters Mill, several by this name have been engaged in successful textile work, superior broadcloth, in particular, having been produced.
Mr. Samuel Goodell, of this early family, resides near the ancestral posses- sions on Grafton St.
One of the old houses of the town, once occupied by members of this family, formerly stood on the road to Grafton. For many years after it ceased to be occupied it was known as "the haunted house," but at last the old structure succumbed to the ravages of time.
