(IV) Colonel Timothy, son of Daniel Bige- low, was born August 2, 1739, in Worcester. Early in life he was apprenticed to the black- smith trade, and afterwards carried on the business for himself. He was considered one of the most energetic and prosperous young men in Worcester, and though he did not have the advantages of an early education he en- deavored to supply the want himself, and soon showed unusual ability to debate and to write with directness and accuracy. At the out- break of the revolution, he immediately took up the cause of the colonists and was promi- nent throughout the war in his support and service for the country. In March, 1773, he was a member of the local committee of corre- spondence, and in December following organ- ized the "Political Society," both of which often met at his house. At a meeting of the citizens in 1774, the adoption of the resolutions of independence was due to his vigorous and able support. He was a member of the "Whig Club" in Boston, and as such became an associate of Warren, Otis, and other im- portant men of those times. He was a dele- gate to the provincial congress during the first and second sessions, and when the minute- men were organized in Worcester he was chosen their commander by a unanimous vote. By his instruction his company became one of the best drilled in the service, and is said to have been personally complimented by Wash- ington. April 19, 1775, he marched with his company to Lexington, and to Cambridge the following day, where he reported for service. Soon after he received from congress a com- mission as major, and in September following volunteered in the expedition to Quebec, under Benedict Arnold. On this expedition he was
ordered by General Arnold to ascend a mouil- tain near the head waters of the Kennebec in order to make observations. He and the few men who accompanied him are said to have been the first white men to ascend this mountain, which was named in his honor, Mt. Bigelow. He shared the hardships of the ill- fated expedition, and on the night of the as- sault of the city, December 31, he was taken prisoner with many others. They were kept prisoners until August, 1776, when they were taken to New York. Here an exchange was effected, and he returned to his home, but soon after re-entered the service with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. On February 8, 1777, he wac commissioned colonel of the Fifteenth Regiment of the Massachusetts line in the continental army. With his regiment he was with General Gates at the surrender of Bur- goyne at Saratoga, afterwards in the Rhode Island expedition, at Verplanck's Point, Peeks- kill, Valley Forge and West Point. He re- mained in the field until the close of the war, and maintained throughout his reputation for bravery and discipline. After the army was disbanded he was stationed for a time at West Point, and later had command of the national arsenal at Springfield. When he left the service to return to his home, his health was much impaired and his property seriously di- minished. He resumed his old occupation of blacksmith for a time, but was not successful in restoring his property or in re-establishing his credit, and was finally imprisoned for debt. He died while in prison, March 31, 1790. He had obtained a grant of land in Vermont, Oc- tober 21, 1780, consisting of a township of twenty-three thousand and forty acres, upon which was founded the town of Mont- pelier. He was a man of fine personal ap- pearance over six feet in height, with an erect and martial bearing. He had a vigorous in- tellect, ardent temperament and a generous heart. He married, July 1, 1762, Anna An- drews, daughter of Samuel and Anna (Ran- kin) Andrews. She was born in Worcester, April II, 1747, and at the time of her mar- riage was an orphan and heiress to a consid- erable fortune. She died in Groton, Massa- chusetts, July 9, 1809. Her mother was the . youngest daughter of James and Rachel Ran- kin, who emigrated from Ireland with the Scotch Presbyterians of 1718.

The name Goddard is un- GODDARD doubtedly of Saxon origin, and is supposed to have been derived from goodly. It is found in such forms as Goddart, Godred, Godderte and in the early New England records is spelled God- ard. It appears in this form in the Domesday Book from the time of Henry (I), and has been settled in Wiltshire since the reign of Henry III, when Walter Godard "Ville," but also written Godarville, held lands in Chippen- ham and Aldbourne. He died in 1250, leav- ing two daughters, but no male issue of record. John and Edmond Godard are found in the same vicinity at a later date.
(I) The line of descent is accurately traced from John Godard of Poulton, near Marl- borough, Wiltshire, whose will, dated Novem- ber 1, 1453, was proved the following year. He made bequests to the churches at Mylden- hall and Aldbourne, and mentioned a son John and daughter Cecily, wife of Thomas Fyssher.

He married Elizabeth Fetiplace, as shown by reference in his father's will. He was the owner of the manor of Clyffe (or Cleve) Papyrd, which was alienated from the Mon- astery of Lacock. The original charter of this manor from Edward I is held by a descendant. The vicar of the parish in 1907 was Rev. Ed- ward Hungerford Godard.
