Publisher's Synopsis
"Thomas Putman Goodwin's ancestors were spirited risk-takers: early settlers, seafarers, fishermen, and entrepreneurs. Their story is one of determination, capability, and spirit. Thomas's immigrant ancestor, Daniel Goodwin of Yoxford, Norfolk, England, first appeared in the town of Kittery, Province of Maine, records in 1652 as an early planter. Daniel married Margaret Spencer, daughter and granddaughter of two of the earliest settlers there. Their descendants migrated from Maine to New Hampshire, then to Nova Scotia as original grantees, returning to New England and eventually settling in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Daniel's story begins with his English ancestors and continues through eleven generations of descendants to Thomas Putman Goodwin"--.
