N.B., We show John Goodinowe and Margaret as the parents of Thomas A., the father of the immigrants.  The county is right but only the names Thomas and John continue down the line; not William and Julyan, the names of two of the three surviving children, nor Margaret, the mother's name. Hence, more work is needed to prove the parentage of Thomas A. Goodinowe.   (Goodenows Who Originated in Sudbury, Massachusetts 1638 A.D. - Banvard)  Transcribed as it appears.
