vii. JESSE GOODMAN, b. Abt. 1791.

Notes for JESSE GOODMAN:In Adair Co., KY census with Ansel, and probable brothers Ansel (sic. Ansle) & Jesse.Jesse name also occurs in later Goodmans of Spences Co., IN, as do Martin & Ansel names.

3. JOHN JAMES6 GOODMAN (ROBERT5, ROBERT4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1750 inHanover Co., VA, and died Aft. 1791 in TN or KY. He married EPHARILLA THORPE Abt. 1772 in VA. She wasborn Abt. 1754 in by family tradition, on ship to America from Ireland, and died Aft. 1810 in KY.

Notes for JOHN JAMES GOODMAN:In Tennessee Tidbits, 1778-1914, Vol. 1, compiled by Marjorie Hood Fischer, found:

3

Aug 1790, Greene Co., TN Court Minutes, #/170. Robert and Amos Goodman, children of John Goodman, wereordered committed to the care of John Richardson until further orders. Stephen and Sarah and Rachel Goodmanwere committed to the care of Joseph Richardson.

Indications are that John (aka: James, or John James) Goodman abandoned most of his family in Greene Co.,leaving them in the care of the Richardson in-laws, and taking only eldest sons John and Robert with him toWilson Co., TN abt. 1791.

Re: Robert Hope Goodman letter. See Robert Hope Goodman records.

Notes for EPHARILLA THORPE:Possible father / relations - In "Virginia Colonial Militia", 1651-1776, Certificates:Name: Wm. Thorp. Comment: native of Virginia, Sergt. 1755-1762 in the late French war. Certificate signed byChas. Scott, Brig.-Genl., that he was then regularly discharged. Court Name: Bedford Court Date: Dec 1779Name: John Thorp. Comment: deceased, regular soldier under Genl. Forbes in 1758, and then departed this life.Wm. Thorp, a native of Virginia and heir-at-law of John Thorp, deceased. Court Name: Bedford Court Date: Jan1780Name: Thos. Thorp. Comment: Corporal in the late French war, 1759-1762. Court Name: Bedford Court Date:Jan 1780

Any of the above could have been the father of Epharilla Thorp. However, because only John Thorp wasdeceased, and Robert Hope Goodman's letter states that his grandfather "married a Miss Thorpe daughter of aWidow lady", the John Thorp who served under Gen. Forbes is the most likely candidate.

Children of JOHN GOODMAN and EPHARILLA THORPE are:6. i. JOHN7 GOODMAN, b. October 31, 1772, Bedford Co., VA; d. May 02, 1859, Clark Co., GA.7. ii. SUSANNA A. GOODMAN, b. Bef. 1773, Bedford Co., VA; d. Aft. 1819.8. iii. ROBERT GOODMAN, b. February 27, 1775, Bedford Co., VA; d. Bef. January 19, 1859, Wilson Co., TN.9. iv. STEPHEN GOODMAN, b.

Generation No. 3

4. ANSEL7 GOODMAN (ANSELM6, ROBERT5, ROBERT4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1) was born Abt. 1780. Hemarried Abt. 1800.

Notes for ANSEL GOODMAN:1810 Adair Co., KY census, Ansel Goodman, 1 male under 10, 1 male 10-15 [possibly the John who shows up in1820 Adair census, below], 1 male 26-45 (Head of Household, Ansel), 2 females under 10, 1 female 26-45 (wife).Presumed father Ansel Goodman b ca 1752, and probable brothers Andrew & Jesse also in same county.

1820 Adair Co., KY census, Ansel (hard to read first name) Goodman 2 males under 10 [Ron: My money is onone of these kids as Martin b ca 1814, later of Spencer Co. 1860 census!], 1 male 16-18, 1 male 16 to under 26, 126 under 45, 2 females under 10, 1 female 26 under 45, 3 in Agriculture. Andrew Goodman & elder Ansel arestill in Co., plus Marcus (possibly Martin, b. 1798), and John, possibly s/o Ansel b. ca 1780, who was 10-15 inthe 1810 census.

Need to find details for this family in 1830, possibly Anslam, in Bath Co., KY, p. 206.

Presumption that Martin Goodman, b. ca 1814, later of Spencer Co., IN, was a son of this Ansel / Anslam is byname of Martin's son Ansel, b. ca 1843 in IN. Plus, presence of elder Ansel Goodman, also in Spencer Co, IN, atsame time, next line to Martin on census, incorrectly indexed by Ancestry.com as "aurel", due to mis-reading ofold script on census sheet.

Child of ANSEL GOODMAN and is:13. i. MARTIN8 GOODMAN, b. Abt. 1814, KY; d. Aft. 1860.

5. MARTIN7 GOODMAN (ANSELM6, ROBERT5, ROBERT4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1) was born December 25,1798 in TN, and died July 12, 1859 in Spencer Co., IN. He married NANCY Abt. 1817 in Adair Co., KY. Shewas born July 21, 1801 in Adair Co., KY, and died June 25, 1872 in Spencer Co., IN.

Notes for MARTIN GOODMAN:Martin Goodman is listed with land warrant in Adair Co., KY, with 50 ac. on Roaring Lilly Creek, in 1822. Alsolisted is Anslow (Anselm?) Goodman, with 50 ac. on Big Lilly Creek, Adair Co in 1822. Based on dates andproximity, these two were probably related, perhaps brothers. They may have been sons of Ansel Goodman, asAnsel also lived in Adair Co., and a Martin Goodman is later found in Spencer Twp, IN 1860 with son Ansel.

John Goodman, his book, this 8/13/1815 Sally (Elsbury) Goodman, her hand and pen this 8/13/1815 Polly Goodman [Eldest dau. Mary?]

================================================The 1st Sarah Goodman, b. 1778, appears to be a 1st wife, before Sally Elsbury, not previously known to ordisclosed by Robert Hope Goodman. This would explain daughter Mary Goodman, b. 1800, as well as the 1800census entry for John Goodman in Oglethorpe Co., GA, below.

5

Sally (Elsbury) Goodman did not list her own birth date. Her name appears only as originator of the bible record.

One or more of the children of John Goodman and Sally Elsbury may have died in infancy, as Robert HopeGoodman's letter says that only 3 children were born to this couple, (to his knowledge or recollection). This mayindicate that only 3 of those were still living when he was a young boy.

It is presumed that Sarah Goodman b. 1779, is John Goodman's 3rd wife, Sarah Martin.

Stephen Goodman b 1777, is most likely John Goodman's brother, of Barren / Hart Co., KY, and is listedseparately from others of the family.

Polly Goodman is currently unidentifiable, but could have been Mary Goodman, Polly being a common nicknamefor Mary.

Sadly, only birth dates are listed in the abstract in this book, and no marriage or death dates that could furtheridentify & clarify this record.

7. SUSANNA A.7 GOODMAN (JOHN JAMES6, ROBERT5, ROBERT4, BENJAMIN3, BENJAMIN2, WILLIAM1) was born Bef.1773 in Bedford Co., VA, and died Aft. 1819. She married (1) JOSEPH RICHARDSON July 01, 1790 in GreeneCo., TN, son of JOHN RICHARDSON and SUSANNAH FUQUA. He was born Abt. 1758 in Bedford CO, VA, and

died Aft. May 1806. She married (2) THOMAS LOGSDON December 23, 1813 in Barren Co., KY.

Notes for SUSANNA A. GOODMAN:In AA CD# 229, Joseph Richardson m. Susanna Goodman Jul 1, 1790. Recorded in Green Co., TN.

Since Susanna is not mentioned in the 1790 Greene Co. TN Court reference, it is likely that Susanna was an eldersister of Robert, Amos, and Stephen Goodman, and married Joseph Richardson just prior to her father's (JohnGoodman) court action.

Susanna may have later remarried in Barren Co., KY, where many of her siblings had also removed to by early1800s:Re: posting to Richardson forum, re: http://genforum.genealogy.com/richardson/messages/8182.html

BurdEdward Lawrence & Effie Lester

Five of Ransom Harper's children married three of Hiram's children and two of his grandchildren.

IRISH:Matthew md Elizabeth PierceHiram born Tenn md Nancy LockeMary E. Harper md Arnold T. BurdMartha Louise Burd md John S. HARPEREdward Lawrence HARPER md Effice M. LesterUel Lester Harper md Eva Pedigo

Interesting that Edward Lawrence is listed on both sides of the family.

Michael's sons Matthew, Hanse sold their land in VA and moved to Spartenburg SC. They were both inRevolution. They came to KY. report of Battle of Blue Licks says this Matthew was killed. Isaac and Samuel Sr.among those at Boonesboro. Hance Jr. was first on tax list of Barren Co in 1800. Samuel Jr. on tax list in 1812 inBarren

These two Harpers did not claim kin until they began to inter marry.

Still trying to sort them out. Have you found out anything?

I am a descendant of Matthew Harper, born about 1770 in SC and his third wife, Sarah Jane GoodmanRichardson Harper, born VA. 1st. wife was Elizabeth Pierce, married in Spartenburg, SC 2nd Judah Reynolds m.Barren co. and Sara Jane also m. in Barren co.I have the death dates of Elizabeth, died in TN, and Juda, but not Sara Jane. Matthew had 16 children by his threewives. They are named in the Matthew Harper Bible. Matthew Haper died in 1845 in Dallas Co. MO. His son,James Riley Harper is my direct line and he came to TX in ca 1872.

I think Matthew, of SC and Hart co. could not have been son of Michael as Matthew was not born until about1770, and he was born in SC, not VA. I do not know the connection between Hance and Matthew of Hart/Barrenco.

This census is not alphabetized, so one can surmise that the names are listed as encountered bythe enumerator, and that the nearby families on the census list were also close neighbors. Nearby on this censuslist are: Matthias Reynolds and wife Martha Goodman of Bedford Co., VA; Mathew Harper, later 2nd husband ofAmos's sister Sarah Jane (Richardson) Goodman; Hance Harper, John Logsdon, David Reynolds, ThomasLogsdon, William Richardson, which are among the families earlier and later married to and otherwise associatedwith these Goodmans.

Notes for ARTHUR GOODMAN:Arthur, aged 74, listed w/ son Amos Goodman in 1860 census, Greyson Co., KY. Occupation shown asCarpenter.

Family tradition, purportedly told by Amos M. Goodman of Hart Co., KY, to his descendants, is that ArthurGoodman was his uncle, and brother of Amos I. Goodman. The names in Arthur's family would tend to supportthis. However, Arthur is not mentioned in 1790 Greene Co., TN court proceedings, where Stephen, Robert &Ams Goodman were given to care of John & Joseph Richardson. If Arthur was b. 1786, as his age in later censusrecords indicates, then he would have been a minor at that time, and should have been mentioned.

Dear Florrie

I have seated myself to write you a letter one from me, - I have intended for a long time to write you, but youknow how I am worked and how little time or chance I have to write - and as your mother and Charlie werewriting to you every week and I hearing from you often, I did not feel the necessity of writing as I would havedone had it been otherwise. I have very little news to write. Your mother and Charles have informed you of thepassing events in our City. I enclose to you a check on New York for $150.00 dollars - which you will pleasehand over to Mr. Harris and ask him to receipt for it. I will send him the balance as soon as I can. You wrote toyour mother some time since wanting to know more of the history of the Goodman family. She in her letter gaveyou some outline of it. I thought I would give you a history of the family more in detail as I learned it of myFather. The Goodman family were among the early settlers of Virginia, or at least we can trace them back some160 to 170 years, they settled in that part of the country between Yorktown and Richmond. They were well off,had fine estates and lived like Gentlemen and were well educated for people in that day and time, stood high asnoble and true men. That branch of the family that my Father sprang from settled before his birth (which was 100years ago) in Hanover County.

My grandfather James Goodman being a young man of adventurous and roving disposition went up into BedfordCounty - it was then a frontier County and there married a Miss Thorpe daughter of a Widow lady and Scotch bybirth who was a noble patriotic woman and stood so high with the Whigs in the Revolutionary War in that part ofthe Country. He (my grandfather) settled there in the mountains of Virginia and there raised his family - until myfather John Goodman being the eldest son was 18 years old. That beautiful Country Middle Tennessee andKentucky was then being settled up by Virginians. My grandfather took John and Robert his two eldest sons theybeing 18 and 16 years old and went into Middle Tennessee and settled on a tract of rich land which was then orafterwards in Wilson County. My father then being but 18 years old left his Father and came to Georgia andsettled near the Cherokee Corner 8 miles below where Athens now is, it was a wilderness then; the CherokeeIndians owning the land to a point below it, he settled in Oglethorpe County near the Indian line in the outsidesettlements or frontiers, and after a few years married a Miss Elsbury - they had a very hard life of it for a fewyears the Whites and Indians were at War - fighting and hiding out from the Indians nearly all the time - he hadtwo brothers-in-law killed in battle by the Indians, after the birth of 3 children his wife died.

His second wife was a Miss Martin from South Carolina which was my Mother. My Father had a great uncle abold adventurous man by the name of Ansel Goodman that went West and joined himself to Daniel Boon theGreat explorer of Tennessee and Kentucky-he was captured by the Indians and was held a prisoner for a year butfinally made his escape and got back to Virginia. My Grandfather James Goodman by leaving the oldersettlements and going on to the frontiers raised up his family comparatively illiterate - my father John Goodmanfollowed in his steps and raised up his family in the same way - they were both high minded honorable men andremarkable for their honesty - but suffered their familys to become illiterate through their love of back woods life.And as back woods men rarely ever accumulate anything their familys became poor and illiterate andcomparatively degraded on account of this backwoods life. I when quite a boy and just started out in life saw howthe matter stood and I determined to try and elevate my family and raise them up from this illiterate and socialdegradation. I have had a great deal to contend with and have worked hard all my life, I have educated my sonand am educating my daughter and am trying to place them in a good social position and it will rest with Charlieand yourself to maintain it. And see to it that you do not let the family go down again into illiterate and socialdegradation - and remember that NO GOODMAN - no one of my blood has ever been guilty of a mean anddishonest act that I have ever heard of - they have ever been noble true honest and honorable men.

Reserve this letter for when I am dead and gone it may interest more when you are old (if you should live to beold) than it will now-

Your mother will write a few lines to go in this. Mr. Harris says that you are getting along in your studies verywell - which I am glad, to learn -

Yours truly

R. H. GOODMAN

ROBERT H. GOODMAN, PIONEER, IS DEAD

[THE ATLANTA JOURNAL, August 28, 1909]

He Built One of Atlanta's First Houses on Heap of Ruins - Was in his 91St Year, and Is Survived by 12 Grand-Children.

Robert H. Goodman, who came to Atlanta when it was an ash heap and built one of the first houses that rose fromthe ruins of the war, died in this 91st year Friday afternoon at the home of his son, C. M. Goodman, 257 Peeplesstreet. His passing removes one of the kindliest and most historic personalities the city ever knew.

Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Church of the Incarnation, West End. Theinterment will be in Westview. Mr. Goodman is survived by his son, C. M. Goodman of Atlanta, his daughterMrs. Florence Spracklen, of Philadelphia, and by 12 grandchildren, 6 by his son and 6 by his daughter. Amongthese is Robert Goodman, third, 1-year old baby son of Robert Goodman, second, who was formerly a well-known Atlanta newspaper man, and who now resides in New York City. The pall bearers will be Captain G. J.Dallas, Hubert L. Culberson, W. S. Kelley, and three of the grandsons, P. M. Goodman, C. M. Goodman, Jr., andH. T. Goodman.

Mr. Goodman, sometimes popularly known as Captain Goodman, was born on a farm near Athens, February 21,1819. He was the son of John Goodman, one of Georgia's pioneers from Virginia. As a young man he moved toAthens entered the mercantile business, played a notable part in the town's civic affairs as chairman of the streetcommittee and then at the outbreak of the civil war enlisted in a company known as Mell's volunteers. He becamelieutenant and subsequently Captain in Cobb's legion. In the midst of the war his health temporarily broke. Hecame back to Georgia and joined the state troops near Rome, where he served with great bravery and distinction.

FOUND CITY IN RUINS.

In July, 1865, when Atlanta was a pile of smoking ruins and scarcely a building stood to mark the city's site,Captain Goodman set forth from Athens in a wagon to drive to Atlanta through the open country. On his way herehe stopped at Decatur, bought a little store house, took it to pieces largely with his own hands, mounted it on thewagon and came on until he reached the corner of what is now Peachtree street and Auburn avenue. There he putthe timbers of his little store together again and started a general merchandise business. It marked the beginningof the present-day Atlanta.

He continued in that vicinity until 1878. Then his wife's health grew feebler - she suffered from asthma - and hesold out and went to Oregon, remaining in that state five years. On his return in 1883 he bought a farm in DeKalbcounty on what is now called the Fair street road. He lived there until his wife's death in 1894, when he made hishome with his son, C. M. Goodman on Peeples Street. For several years past Captain Goodman's declining yearshave kept him from active business. He was hale and vigorous, however, and like a young man in his outlookupon life until about six weeks ago when he suffered a stroke of paralysis. That was the immediate cause of hisdeath.

MARRIED IN DAHLONEGA.

Mr. Goodman married Miss Caroline Mason, at Dahlonega, in 1849. She was the daughter of Dr. D. H. Mason,president of a United States mint that coined $5 and $10 gold pieces at the Dahlonega mines prior to the war. Themint was on the site of the present North Georgia Agricultural College.

Though Captain Goodman was of a retiring disposition and took no conspicuous part in politics, he was particularabout casting his vote in every election and always voted as a Democrat, even in the day of the Whigs before thewar. He was a prominent Mason, being a member of the Georgia lodge and was a Knight Templar. At one time hewas treasurer of the Coeur de Leon commandery.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Missing from the obituary was the fact that Mr. Goodman, recently moved from Jefferson,Ga., to Athens, Ga., was instrumcntal in securing the ether used by Dr. Crawford W. Long in his first operationusing ether as anesthetic. Mr. Goodman's deposition today reposes in the National Archives together with otheraffadavits which proved that Dr. Long was the first person to use ether for anesthesia. A photostat of thesedocuments is on exhibit today in the Crawford Long Museum, at Jefferson, Ga.

Notes for MALINDA CLEMMONS:Malinda listed as age 40 in census of 1850 w/ Stephen Goodman and children, but 1860 census lists her age as45. She may have understated her age in 1860. Ages of children also contain differences from 1850 census. So,1850 census ages have been used here, as they are probably more reliable.

Notes for ANSELM GOODMAN:1810 Barren Co., KY US Census: Amos Goodman, with son under 10 years old, presumed to be Anselm.

1830 Hart Co., KY US Census: Ansolem (sic.) Goodman, age 20-30, with wife also 20-30, 2 males under 5(Socrates and Benjamin), 1 female under 5 (Lurana Jane), plus 1 other female 15-20, too old to be from thismarriage. May have been his 1/2 sister, Lourania, who married 1831, or some other relative, perhaps a sister ofhis wife Nancy.

1840 Knox Co., IL, US Census: Anson (sic.) Goodman and family, shows 4 sons of various ages (Socrates,William, Benjamin, Cyrus), and one young daughter, under 5 (Harriet). Harriet was born 1837 in Knox Co., IL,according to the Anselm/Nancy Goodman family bible. Two other children, Lurana Jane and Amos ThorpGoodman, died as infants, and so are not listed.

In 1849, Anselm Goodman was Administrator of the estate of James Dixon, Knox Co., IL. File box 36.

1850 Henry Co., IL US Census: Anson (sic.) Goodman, merchant. He and wife Nancy are both shown as age 48,with Wm. 18, Harriet 14, and Cyrus 10.

1860 Oxford, Henry Co., IL US Census, HH 3906: Anslem (sic.) Goodman, store keeper, says age 50 and b. TN,with wife Mary, age 52 and b. KY, and with son Cyrus, age 21 and b. IL. This is the first time we find thatAnselm and his 1st wife Nancy are apparently no longer together. In the next household are James Epperson, 26,and wife Harriet B. Goodman, 23. Nancy Goodman is not to be found in the 1860 census. However, Nancy is age66 in 1870 census with James Epperson and family in Woodhill, Henry Co., IL.

Names, birth, marriage and death dates from family bible of Anselm and Nancy Fowler Goodman, in possessionof a dau. of John Anselm Goodman, and photocopies of which are in possession of Ronald E. Goodman andimages available on Ron's web site at www.REGoodman.com. This bible also lists his first wife as "Sarah",which was Sarah Conway. These bible records were proof for birth, marriage & death dates for all descendants ofAmos Goodman and Sarah Conway Goodman, through the issue of John Anselm Goodman.

Neither Anselm or Nancy can be found in the 1860 census of IL, although the family bible lists their deaths after1860 in IL.

George Goodman was a tailor. Because all children were b. inKY except George, it appears that the family came to IL from KY between 1846 and 1850.

In 1860 census, this family has returned from IL to Munfordville, Hart Co., KY, p 851, 237/237, and Amos, age 2appears for the first time. All other children's ages match, but wife appears to have "changed" hers to be younger,and closer to her husband's. George has returned to farming. Rose (Rosaltha), age 20, appears with Willis Johnsonfamily, immediately next door, with occupation as "serving".

Notes for CLAIBORN GOODMAN:Individuals transcribing Goodman cem. headstones read this as Clara W., b. 20 May 1856, d. 25 Sept 1866.However, this birth date cannot be right, given sister Maranda was b. October 25, 1856, less than 5 monthslater. So, the 20 May 1866 date in the Amos Moore Goodman bible record must be taken as the correct birthdate, and "Claborn" or Claiborn, as the proper name. This name adds further credence to a relationshipbetween these Goodmans and the Goodmans of Hanover/ Louisa Co., VA, and later of Granville Co., NC,who had a son Claiborne, who was at this time in Wilson Co., TN with Robert Goodman, uncle of AmosMoore Goodman.
