• Notes

  When John Goodale made his will in 1625 his son Richard was presumably not in England as his father did not kow whether or not he was living and all the other legatees being named with care, he did not know the names of Richard's two children. Richard was back in Yarmouth in 1637 when he and his stepmother were defendants in a Chancery suit. By 1638 Richard Goodale had settled in Newbury where the Abraham Toppans were living and where Mrs. Elizabeth Goodale arrived, so far as we know, at about the same time. Presumably they came together. He brought with him his wife Dorothy and two children, who, judging from evidence had been born before 1625. Soon after his arrival Richard must have moved across the Merrimac river to the new town first called Colchester and later Salisbury where he was an original grantee and commoner and the recipient of further grants in 1639, 1643, and 1654. He is called planter and turner. He was a member of the Norfolk grand jury in 1652 and 1654. Tradition says that he was a great hunter. He had an Irish servant, Cornelius Conner. Richard's will was proved on 9 October 1666. All his goods, housings, lands, orchards, pastures, meadow, either marsh or upland, plow land and any other land and cattle he left to be equally divided between his son Richard Goodell and his daughter Allen, with some exceptions. To his granddaughter Hubberd, a cow named Primrose. To Cornelius Conner, formerly his servant, all his wearing apparel, both linen and woolen. Executor: his son Richard. Overseers: loving brethren (in the church sense) Edward French, John Wheelright, Joseph Stower. From the inventory it appears that Goodale had let his house to Joseph Lancaster and gone to live with his daughter Ann Allen. There was due to her husband, William Allen, payment for "diet and attendance", at 10s. a week from the 3rd of May to the 16th of September 1666. Also there was an uncertain amount due to the estate from the lessee of "the barq." With the aid of the overseers the property was divided between Richard Goodale the younger and William Allen on 4 December 1666. —— RICHARD, Newbury 1638, was from Yarmouth, Co. Norf. rem. to Salisbury, among first sett. 1639 or 40; had w. Dorothy, wh. d. 27 Jan. 1665; ch. Ann, wh. m. William [p.271] Allen; and Richard of Boston. He d. 166, says Coffin. The same writer gives in his list Eliz. G. also from Yarmouth, wh. d. 8 Apr. 1647, at Newbury, hav. ch. Susanna, wh. m. Abraham Toppan; and Joanna m. John Oliver, both bef. 1644. I presume she was his mo. A wid. Mary G. d. at Salisbury 3 May 1683. [2]
