We will celebrate by holding our 20th biennial reunion in the area of Sudbury in July, 2028. April 24, 2023 marks the 385th anniversary of the arrival of four Goodenow siblings: John, Thomas, Capt Edmund, and Ursula - to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They came from the neighboring shires of Wilts and Dorset, England, sailing in 1638 from Southampton to Boston aboard the 200-ton ship Confidence. T
hey joined with other immigrants to settle Sudbury, the 19th town in Massachusetts. Goodenow descendants are in every state (and several countries) and in all walks of life - and the GFA strives to preserve their stories and honor their lives. In 2022, we are missing members from a few states, including Vermont, New Jersey, Texas, and Missouri which we shouldn't be. Also, AR, AL, MS, LA, NM, CO, WY, ID and ND are lacking members. As of March, 2022 we have members in all other states and Australia, Canada, Philippines, South Africa, and the UK! Won't you consider joining for $25?! The goodenowfamily.org/membership.htm webpage provides venmo and PayPal options, in addition to mailing a check.
