GODDARD."
The ancestor of the Goddards in this country was Edward, a farmer, who was born and lived in Norfolk County, Eng- land, was once very wealthy, but being on the parliament side during the civil war, his house was demolished by a company of cavaliers, who also plundered his substance.

He accordingly sent for his wife and children, who came over in 1666. His wife's name was Elizabeth Miles.

Sam- uel drew lot twenty-eight, known in later years as the Tenney place. The name Gowing is found among the early settlers of Lynn, and these families undoubtedly came from that town.
