The Goodwins of Hartford, Connecticut. Compiled for James Junius Goodwin.
(Brown and Gross, Hartford, Conn., U.S.A.)- The Goodwins are the descendants of William and Ozias Goodwin, and date back to the seventeenth century. A very numerous race they seem to be, and their genealogy has been traced out with praiseworthy industry. There must be a great many people in the States who are personally interested in the matter, for the Goodwins seem to have been a prolific race. The only one of the name who, as far as we know, has made his name familiar to the English public is,. we discover, not one of the stock. The eminent Hellenist, Professor W. W. Goodwin, belongs, we see, to a Massachusetts family of the name.
