NOTE: Mary Goodin's birth is unknown. The only thing known forcertainabout her origin is a memorial in Canaan, Jamaica whereit stated that she died in 1750 aged 96, hence born in 1654.Further we do not know whohere parents were. Burke's Commonersand then Landed Gentry had entriesthat said earlier that shewas merely the grand-daughter of Sir FrancisGoodwin ofWinchendon, Bucks and later that she was the daughter of RobertGoodwin, son of Sir Francis. The trouble with this tale is thatit has hardly anything to support it and one or two thingsagainst it.The only thing to support her Goodwin of Winchendon origin isthat on her (orher husband's) memorial, her husband's arms areimpaled with those of Goodwin, at least with the per pale and arampant lion, the tinctures arenot seen on stone. The weaknessof this is that the memorial was presumably made in the 18thcentury or later by which time any control the heralds mighthave had over arms bearing had passed into desuetude. It couldwell be that they had borrowed the Goodwin arms.Against this is Sir Francis Goodwin's will in which heexplicitly refers to "my deare and only sonne", his heir, ArthurGoodwin. So no son to be the father of any Mary.Further any (deceased) second son, would probably have been borna little after Arthur, who was born c. 1593 (from his DNBarticle). Shallwe say before 1600; he would have beenfathering children from 1620, aged 20 to 1640 or so. But I donot think he would still have been fathering children in 1654,the date of Mary's birth aged around 55, not in those days norwith all the plagues that then abounded.The story of Mary being of the Winchendon Goodwins has to be aconcoction._________________________________________________________________Against this is an excellent article by Simon Ricketts who firstpropsed that Mary was of the Goodin family of the Westmorlandestate of Jamaica. Here it is:Sources for believing Mary Goodwin is most probably Mary Goodin:Family Tree in British Library: MS in the British Library (Add MS 31,228) containing a number ofJamaican pedigrees assembled by Col Lawrence-Archer. Folios 17- 18 contain a family tree of the Goodin family of Jamaica. Itwas compiled by Col Lawrence Archer, a well-known collector of WIndian pedigrees. He states that the Goodins are "erroneously"known as Goodwin and Godwin" in pedigree already published"(scope for another treasure hunt).Mary Goodin is shown on thetree as the daughter of a Robert Goodin, wife of WilliamRicketts & mother of Sarah (an error: should be Rachel whomarried Thomas Johnson), William & George Ricketts. LawrenceArcher wasnot always accurate. However, this identification ofMary Goodin is supported by evidence (see below).References in contemporary Ricketts sources refer to the Goodinsas cousins:a). William Ricketts’ (d 1735?) Will [Note: Will transcribed byBarrie Clifford]: “To my Cousin George Goodin…” [Note:presumably the George Goodin who lived 1694-1776, & MaryGoodin’s nephew by her brother George (d 1729). NB: if WilliamRicards/Ricketts’ wife was not Mary Goodin, there would havebeen no reason (except perhaps sentiment) for his son William tohave referred to a George Goodin as “cousin”. The only otherrecord of a blood connection between the Ricketts & Goodinfamilies is the marriage between George Ricketts’ (c 1684-1760)daughter Mary (1730-1749) to Richard Haughton which must havetaken place in the 1740s - after the Will was written.Haughton’s mother, Elizabeth Goodin, would have been MaryGoodin’s nephew by her brother George Goodin (d. 1729).]b). George Ricketts’ (c 1684 - 1760) Will [Note: copy in mypossession]: “I give to my dear good cousin Mrs Mary Barclay[Note: 1704-1760; née Kirkpatrick; daughter of Mary Goodin’ssister, Ann, & Hugh Kirkpatrick. Hence she would have been MaryGoodin’s niece. She married first William Hall & second JamesBarclay. Ref Wright 1958] ... It is my will and desire that myexecutors hereafter named dogive to my loving friends … MrsMary Barclay…George Goodin Senior, [Note: presumably 1694-1776]…each a mourning ring as a token of my friendship. …My son JohnRicketts and my nephew Jacob Johnson and my cousin George GoodinJunior [Note: definitely George Robert Goodin (1735-1799), sonof George Goodin senior. He later married George’s 3rd wifeElizabeth née Cleaver] to be trustees and guardians for thechild that my wife is now pregnant with [Note: that child wasGeorge William Ricketts (1760-1842), my ancestor]. Other Contemporary References:a). Letter written 23 June 1758 by Mary Ricketts (1737-1828) néeJervis from Jamaica to her sister Elizabeth in England [Note:British Library Additional MS 30,001, folios 4-7. Mary wasmarried to William Henry Ricketts (1736-1798)]: “…There issome relations of Mr Ricketts going over, one Mr Hall & hisfamily. Mrs Hall is sister to the Mr Dehany…” [Note: ThomasHall was theson of Mary Hall, née Kirkpatrick, later Barclay.Hence he was Mary Goodin’s great nephew. He married his secondcousin Mary Dehany, who was the daughter of Mary née Goodin &niece of Mary Goodin.].b). Letter written possibly on 11 May 1770 by William HenryRicketts (1736-1798) in Jamaica to his wife Mary in England,describing his progress in building theRicketts Mausoleum atCanaan in Westmoreland [Note: British Library Additional MS30,001, folios 37-39]: “… This affair has given old Mr Goodinsuch pleasure that he has promised to visit more…” [Note: themausoleum contained the grave of “Mary Ricketts, widow, died 16April 1750 aged96.” Mr Goodin is clearly George Goodin(1694-1776). A likely explanation for his “pleasure” is thatMary Ricketts was his Aunt Mary Goodin.]Goodin Graves at Llanelli, Westmoreland, JamaicaWhile not directly helping in the Mary Goodin/Goodwin matter,the inscriptions have helped me to construct a putative Goodinfamily tree. I have taken the details from Philip Wright’s“Monumental Inscriptions.” Important inscriptions are:Ref 1958: Hugh Kirkpatrick born at Irwin in Scotland 23 Oct 1671… d.8Dec 1746. Married to Ann the daughter of Robert Goodin.… His daughterMary married to William Hall Esq.Ref 1970: George Goodin Lewis, son toJohn and Ann KatherineLewis, d 12 March 1774 aged 19 years 2 months 8days.Ref 1971: Elizabeth wife of George Robert Goodin Esq, died 13Sept1762 aged 25 years, 2 months 8 days [Note: this isElizabeth nee Cleaver, who was the third wife of George Ricketts(c 1684-1760)]Ref 1972: George Robert Goodin Esq, native of this Island d. 24December 1799 aged 64Ref 1973: George Goodin Esq, died 17 January 1776, aged 82Ref 1974: Herelyeth the body of Mary Goodin wife of GeorgeGoodin the 2nd who departed this life the 15 day of November1752 in the 52nd year of her age.Ref1980: Sarah Dawes, daughter of James and Ann Dawes andgranddaughter toGoodinRef 1981: Mary Goodin Dawes, daughter to James and Ann Dawes andgrand daughter to George Goodin died 7 July 1766 aged 5 years…Ref 1982:Jane Bosley, daughter to William and Ann KatherineBosley and grand daughter to George Goodin the 2nd, d. 24 Sept1769 aged 1 year.Will of George Robert Goodin (1735-1799) [Note copy in mypossession; again not directly relevant to the MaryGoodin/Goodwin issue, but helpful in constructing family tree]NB.
