Edward Godfrey

I am the person it is believed all American Godsey's come from. My two sons, James and Thomas, were sent to America wthout their parents, in the care of another family. It is believed that the "F", in old English script, so closely resembled the "S", that "Fr", in the name became "s" and so Godfrey becme Godsey. DNA testing of Godsey family members throughout the U.S. have shown them to all be descended from my sons. I was a Blacksmith, and lived in Lymehouse, England.
