THE GOODWINS OF LOUISVILLE, KY. The following records came to hand in one letter, the only an-

swer to four years of requests for information, and then not from a Goodwin, but from one who had married a Goodwin. I have not the slightest idea of the origin of this family.

Solomon Goodwin, born about 1775 in Indiana, married Sturgeon,* and resided in Louisville, Ivy. Children: i. Solomon, married Ginnis; ii. Archie, married Rachel Allcorn; iii. Elisha, married Nancy Rogers; iv. Christiana, married Benja- min Allcorn.

Archie Goodwimn (Solomon), born in Louisville, Ky., married Rachel Allcorn, a daughter of William aid (Boone) All- corn. He was a Democrat and a Baptist. He died in Dubuque county, Iowa, aged forty-five. She died there aged sixty-four. Children: i. Robert, died young; ii. Amelia Ann, married John Gillson; iii. Lydia E., married William Barranger; iv. David Rooers born April 4, 1834, married Martha Delapp; v. Jasper Nuten, married Lizzie Barranger; vi. Eliza Jane, married Brown; vii. Rosaline, married Bowman.

David Rogers Goodwin (Archie, Solomon), born April 4, 1834, near Louisville, KIy., was married in 1855, near Milwaukee, to Martha Delapp, born May 14, 1837, in New York, a daughter of John and Levisa (Green) Delapp. He is a farmer, a Dem- ocrat and a Baptist. His wife died in 1878 in Thorpe, Wis. Children: i. Archie L., born February, 1859, married Clara Clark; ii. David A., born October 8, 1860, married, first, Hattie

* An Abraham Goodwin married Barbara Sturgeon, June 12, 1792, in Nelson Co., Ky. The date of birth of this Solomon is only estimated, and it may be that his descendants have become " mixed" on names, and that Solomon was Abraham. She the GOODWINS AND GOoDINS OF NELSON,.

TIHE GOODWINS OF CLARK CO., INDIANA. Edward Goodwin was born in August, 1717, and died in Clark

county, Ind., in May, 1826, aged one hundred and eight years. His tombstone says he was the husband of Mary Goodwin. Of his early life no records surviving. Family traditions disagree as to his place of birth, it being stated to be Wales and again in Engrland, but no proof is offered. It is thought that he lived for a while in "Jersey," or perhaps New Jersey, and an Amos or Ainus Goodwin of Middlesex county, N. J., a private, is thought by some to have been either a brother or a son of Edward. Our Edward is supposed to have moved through Bucks county, Penn., into Virginia. I consider all of these traditions as exceedingly unreliable in the present condition of confusion in the Goodwin records. Abraham Goodwin, fife major in New York line, re- siding at Patterson, Essex county, N. J., proves to be a Godwin. Abraham Goodwin, private of Forty-first Pennsylvania, Pro- vincial Army, 1758, a carpenter, and afterwards colonel of mili- tia, resided in Bucks county, and is supposed to be the ancestor of the Goodwins of Delaware Water Gap, Pa. Some of the de- scendants of John Goodwin of the Salem, N. J., Goodwins ap- pear to have settled in Bucks countA, and an Amos Goodin left there in 1760 for Loudoun countv, Va.

The first definite information is that Edward resided in Cul- pepper county, and then removed to Augusta county, Va., where he resided for a numlber of years. An Edward Goodwin served as an officer under Colonel George AVashington in his campaign on the Monongehala in 1 754, and was allotted land under Gov- ernor Dinwiddie's proclamation, and an Edward Goodwin
