Disputed Origins:

Goodwin-210 had been reported the son of immigrant William Goodwin by his first wife, Elizabeth White. In his profiling of William Goodwin, Robert Charles Anderson recognized only one child, Elizabeth, born to that immigrant,[1] thus the relationship between Christopher and the purported parents has been severed.
