The Goodwin family is too numerous and widespread to trace further in a town history. I have drawn to some extent from "The Goodwins of Kittery." by Mr. John Samuel Goodwin of

AND HER FAMILIES
Chicago, though evidence has compelled me to differ from many of his suggestions. No effort has here been made to trace beyond the third generation, except one line that lived in Eliot. The above scheme does not account for every Goodwin of even the first three generations. It may be that Adam and David of the first generation left descendants, and it may be that David Good- win of N. H. in 1670 was of another family and left issue. Such questions are left to the special genealogist.
GOOLD.
The emigrant ancestor of the Goold family was Jarvice Gold, who came from the County of Kent, Eng., in 1635, to Hingham, Mass. He removed to Boston and died there 27 May 1656, aged 51 years. His wife's name was Mary whom he outlived. He was a cordwainer and had two children.
