1. MARY GOODELL was born about 1630 in England (age 4, 1634) and died 5 Jan 1668/69 in Salem MA (Torrey) (DRS). She married JOHN PEASE in 1653. John, the son of Robert and Marie (---) Pease, was probably born about 1633 in England and died in 1693 in his 60th year. He married (2) ANN CUMMINS on 8 Dec 1669 Topsfield (Torrey) (Salem IGI, 8 Oct 1669, o.s.). Ann (Cummins) Pease died in 1689 (Torrey). John Pease was of Salem and Enfield MA. See Bowen #2.

3. ISAAC GOODELL was born in 1633 in England (age half a year, Apr 1634) and died 1679 in Massachusetts He married PATIENCE COOKE on 25 Jan 1668/89 [25:11m:1668, o.s.] in Salem (VR). Patience married (2) JAMES STIMSON of Reading [Mass/Conn?] before 1684 (Torrey). James Stimson married (1) MARY/NAOMY LEAPINWELL (1638-1681) on 18 Apr 1661 Reading, Middlesex Co., MA. James Stimson died in 1691 (Torrey). They had six children. See Bowen #4.

4. NEHEMIAH GOODELL was born 30 May 1636 Salem (Williams) and died in Dec 1726 in Framingham MA. He married HANNAH HAVEN on 30 Jul 1673 in Lynn, Essex Co., MA. Hannah, the daughter of Richard and Susanna [Wastall/Newhall] Haven was born 22 Dec 1645 in Lynn (IGI) and died in 1726 in Framingham MA (Torrey). Nehemiah resided in Charlestown and Lynn. According to Torrey, he called Richard Hubbard "kinsman". They had children. See Bowen #5.

5. ELIZABETH GOODELL born about 1638 Salem (Bowen, 1646). She married (1) JOHN SMITH about 1658. John died in 1672 (Torrey). Elizabeth married (2) WILLIAM BENNETT on 6 Mar 1673/4 (Torrey, 1675). In 1680, she was living with her father and son, John Smith (probably born ca1660). See Bowen #10.

Robert Goodell deeded a portion of his Great Cove farm and the house on it to his son-in-law, John Smith in 1658. This seems to indicate that Elizabeth must have been married by 1658, since it is likely that this land was bequeathed upon their marriage. From this it would seem that Elizabeth was probably born about 1638 and was the daughter of Robert and his first wife, Katherine. This is contrary to that which has been written in some previously published genealogies which have said that Elizabeth was the daughter of Robert's second marriage.

6. ZACHARIAH GOODELL was baptized 31 May 1640 [31:3m:1640, o.s.] Salem (VR) (Danvers, b. 31 Apr 1640 Salem Village) and died in 1715. He married ELIZABETH BEAUCHAMP at the last of Dec 1666 [last of 10m:1666, o.s.] Salem (VR). Elizabeth, the daughter of Edward and Mary Beauchamp, was born 23 Jul 1648 in England. See Bowen #6.

7. JACOB GOODELL was born 9 Jan 1641/42 [9:11m:1641, o.s.] Salem (VR) and died in 1676 age 34 unmarried. "Jacob was employed by Giles Corey, and in a quarrel with the latter was so badly beaten that he died, according to a coroner's jury, of blood clots about the heart caused by the blows. Corey was fined for the offense. Longfellow, in New England Tragedies, takes advantage of poetic license to substitute Robert' in his account." (Bowen: "Goodell Memorial Tablets"). See Bowen #7.
