Elizabeth Bennett

Or was this Elizabeth Davis and Torrey was mistaken that Anthony Bennett of Bass River married his step sister? Elizabeth Bennet (only) was listed in Richard Window’s 1665 Will, and no Elizabeth Goodwin or Gooding.

• “Richard Goodwin and Bridget Fitts.” Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:30 PM Classification: Query < link > Torrey states that Richard Window had a first wife in England; that his second wife was Elinor who was the widow of a man named Bennett, by whom she had two children mentioned in Richard Window's will as Anthony and Elizabeth. I speculate, and wonder if I can get some responses, that Elinor's first husband might have been a Goodwin (perhaps even a Richard Goodwin) by whom she had a son named Richard. Then Richard Window's will makes sense, as he first mentions his daughter Ann, then Richard, who had been raised by him as a son, and then the two Bennett children. As further support, the list of Richard Goodwin's children by Hannah Jones includes a daughter named Elinor (perhaps to honor his deceased mother?). I have not found immigration records to support the arrival of any of these folks from England to America. I welcome any thoughts fellow Goodwin researchers might wish to share.
