Notes - He arrived in 1632 on the Lyon. He was first at Cambridge, where he was made an elder of the congregation in 1634, and a deputy to the Massachusetts general court in 1635. He was among the "Adventurers Party" of twenty-five men led by John Steele who scouted area that would become Hartford in October 1635, before the Rev. Hooker's party departed Cambridge in May 1636, and he was one of sixteen founders living in Hartford in 1635 prior to the arrival of Hooker's party. His name is on the Founders Monument in downtown Hartford. He was the ruling elder of the Hartford church under the Rev. Hooker. At some point he married, as his second wife, the Rev. Hooker's widow. He was the leader of the contingent opposing the ministry of Samuel Stone, all of whom signed the agreement to remove to Hadley, Massachusetts in 1659, which he indeed did. By 1670 he removed from Hadley to Farmington.
Although his parents are unknown, he is known to have been a brother of Ozias Goodwin.
