  • Goudeys of Mablehead, Mass.
  • THE LYNN BRANCHES.
• The families of Goudy, Gowdy and Gawdey in Marblehead, Danvers and Lynn, Mass., and Dover, Newcastle, Isle of Shoals, Claremont, Wakefield, Ossipee and other towns in New Hampshire and eastern Maine were derived from the same ancestry. A careful and persistent search in the town and Probate records fails to procure satisfactory connections between the successive generations, however, and the compiler feels a sense of dissatisfaction as he sits down to arrange and classify the detached assembly of data in hand. Some of the families evidently did not keep any vital records, while others were lost in old shattered Bibles that disappeared long ago. The confusion concerning the early members of these families was caused by their frequent removal from place to place while following their fishing craft. The same persons were recorded as "of Newcastle", "of Gosport", "of the Isle of Shoals" and "of Dover". These families were seafaring men and in the public records were styled "Mariners", Coasters" and "Fishermen". As has been said, facetiously, "These Goudys were all born web-footed". Brought up on the seashore and enured to the buffeting of the waves they early learned to handle the small craft employed in the fishing business and became expert sailors, often rising to the command of vessels of considerable size in the merchant service and sailing to foreign ports.
• 1. Philip Goudey. On April 24th, 1723, a Philip Goudey and wife Martha Goudey of Beverly, Mass., conveyed to John Marshall, "Weaver", consideration £30-10, three acres of marsh in Ipswich, Mass. On Dec. 6, 1773, Philip and Martha Goudey to Daniel Buckman of Beverly, "Weaver", consideration £105 in bills of credit a dwelling house in Beverly with six acres of land whereon said house now stands with several other small parcels of land. We have no means of knowing which Philip Goudey this was, but as the name was peculiar to the family at Marblehead it is plausible to assume that he was of that branch.
• On March 9, 1770, a Philip Goudey and Sarah Goudey his wife of Marblehead, "Fisherman", for £24 paid by Samuel Cocks, also "Fisherman", conveyed the fourth part of a dwelling house with land adjoining and under, formerly the property of Thomas Maine. This was evidently Philip Goudey, son of George and wife Elizabeth Morgan, for he married Feb. 6, 1766, Sarah Main, and they probably sold her share of her father's estate when making preparations for their removal to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
• 2. George Goudey1 (1), has been styled by the Lewis Publishing Company "The emigrant ancestor" of these families, but we have not learned what record authority supported the assumption. He was born as early as 1710. He married Elizabeth Morgan, who was living at Marblehead, Mass., with children when the census of 1790 was taken. She died there May 7, 1796, aged 84 years. Her husband died before 1761. His estate was settled Dec. 30, 1763. He was styled "Mariner". His daughter, Hannah Palmer, was appointed Administratrix but refused to serve and a Committee composed of Nathan Bowen, Ebenezer Martin, and Joshua Prentis was appointed in her place. The inventory of his personal property shows the following items: —

• Elizabeth Goudey purchased of Sarah Lewis of Marblehead, Mass., Aug. 13, 1761, all of her right and title in a dwelling house and the land under and adjoining, near the Meeting House, it being the estate of her late father Peter Martin, Fisherman, called "Father's Old House and Garden". This lot was described as adjoining a "Burying Place" on one side. Elizabeth Goudey, widow, purchased of Joseph Holman of Marblehead, consideration £140, "Certain messuages" in that town comprising a dwelling house and the land adjoining and under, measuring on the front about 30 feet and in the rear 19 feet. The inventory of the estate of this Elizabeth Goudey was taken April 13, 1796; and daughter, Hannah Perry, was appointed administratrix. Amount $257.30. Mentions " Her late Mansion House" and Land under and adjoining thereto. Also one fourth of an undivided estate of her late father, Peter Martin, consisting of an Old House and Land. In the inventory was mentioned "13 small pictures" evidently the same as the "12 glass pictures" mentioned in the inventory of her husband; an item that might seem insignificant, but proves the relationship between the two persons. Returning to George Goudey there was a person bearing this name styled "of Marlborough" who served as a private in the company of Capt. Samuel Glover, and in the regiment of Colonel Williams, from May 18, 1758 to Sept. 19, 1758, in the expedition against Canada. This may have been George Goudey of Marblehead. His marriage to Elizabeth Morgan was on Jan. 15, 1735-6, at the age of 23 years. George and Elizabeth Goudey had issue of whom more hereafter.
