John Goodman of the Mayflower

From http://www.goodmanhistory.com/other-goodmans/mayflower-john-goodman...

John Goodman, presumed to be the same John Goodman who was later on the Mayflower, and signed the “Mayflower Compact”, is listed with many of the other later Mayflower passengers on the 1620 voyage of the ship “Speedwell” from Leiden to Southampton. He is aged 25, and listed as a linen weaver. This establishes his birth date as about 1595, possibly in Holland, or in England if he was a son of one of the Separatists who left or were expelled from England and went to Holland, and who comprised the majority of Mayflower passengers to Plymouth. But, no wife or children of any sex are listed as traveling with him from Leiden to England. If he was married and had children, they certainly would have been listed and traveling with him from Leiden to Southampton, where the issue of excess passengers first occurs due to the purported issues with the “Speedwell”, which was also supposed to accompany them to New England. And as the earlier 1620 “Speedwell” passenger list from Leiden to Southampton clearly shows, he traveled alone on that first leg of the voyage, with no family.

John Goodman is mentioned in several of the early Plymouth Colony records, but he died of the “sickness” of the second year of the new colony, and is named in various lists of the dead of those same records. There has been much discussion, debate and research on this John Goodman, and no Goodmans are descended from him, despite what many oral or traditional Goodman family genealogies may claim. Those earlier genealogies were often poorly researched, based on very limited information, and their authors / compilers did not have access to information and resources that have since become available online and in other venues. Some may have been outright frauds. See http://members.aol.com/calebj/hoaxes.html.

From http://mayflowerhistory.com/goodman/ John Goodman has been a difficult Mayflower passenger to research.  Governor William Bradford, in his otherwise nearly flawless recitation of Mayflower passengers made in 1651, states that John Goodman was one of those who "died soon after their arrival in the general sickness that befell."  However, that is contradicted by his appearance on the 1623 Division of Land, where he received an acre of land.  In any case, Goodman had disappeared by the time of the 1627 Division of Cattle, and presumably died very early on.

In 1905, Henry Martyn Dexter proposed that John Goodman was the man found in Leiden records as John "Codmoer," widower of Mary Backus, who married Sarah Hooper.  But this has been disputed by many later researchers as unfounded: "Codmoer" is a pretty significant misspelling of "Goodman" even by Dutch standards.  To further complicate the situation, there is an oft-published hoax that surfaced in the 19th century that John Goodman was actually a pseudonym for John Dunham, another member of the Leiden congregation.  However, this has been conclusively disproven: John Dunham was still living in Leiden after the Mayflower's departure.

On 12 January 1621, Peter Browne and John Goodman were cutting thatch for house roofing, and went for a short walk to refresh themselves, when their mastiff and spaniel spied a deer and gave chace.  Peter and John soon found themselves lost.  They spent the night in a tree, in rain and snow, because they thought they heard a lion.  They found their way back to Plymouth the following day.  Goodman suffered some frostbite.  When he was finally able to walk, he took his spaniel out and found himself being followed by a wolf.  After a long stare-down and having securing a fence post for defense, the wolf eventually departed.

The information on family below is not correct.

Birth: Sep. 5, 1587 Coffinswell Devon, England Death: 1621 Plymouth County Massachusetts, USA

John Goodman's English origins remain unknown. There is a marriage record in Holland of a "Jan Codmoer" of England marrying Sarah Hooper just a year before the Mayflower voyage, and having been witnessed by Mayflower passenger Samuel Fuller. However, this remains our only clue. Upon arriving in Plymouth, John Goodman signed the Mayflower Compact. Later one of his fellow passengers recorded this story of him on January 12, 1620/1:

John Goodman and Peter Brown, having cut thatch all the forenoon, went to a further place, and willed the other two, to bind up that which was cut and to follow them; so they did, being about a mile and a half from our plantation; but when the two came after, they could not find them, nor hear anything of them at all, though they hallowed and shouted as loud as they could, so they returned to the company and told them of it: whereupon Master Leaver and three or four more went to seek them, but could hear nothing of them. These two that were missed, at dinner time took their meat in their hands, and would go walk and refresh themselves, so going a little off they find a lake of water, and having a great mastiff bitch with them and a spaniel; by the waterside they found a great deer, the dogs chased him, and they followed so far as they lost themselves, and could not find their way back. They wandered all that afternoon being wet, and at night it did freeze and snow, they were slenderly appareled and had no weapons but each one his sickle, nor any victuals. They ranged up and down and could find none of the savage's habitations; when it drew to night they were much perplexed, for they could find neither harbor nor meat, but in frost and snow, were forced to make the earth their bed, and the element their covering. And another thing did very much terrify them, they heard as they thought two lions roaring exceedingly for a long time together, and a third, that they thought was very near them, so not knowing what to do, they resolved to climb up into the tree as their safest refuge, though that would prove and intolerably cold lodging; so they stood at the tree's root, that when the lions came they might take their opportunity of climbing up. The bitch they were fain to hold by the neck, for she would have been gone to the lion; but it pleased God so to dispose, that the wild beasts came not; so they walked up and down under the tree all night. It was an extremely cold night, so soon as it was light they traveled again... In the afternoon, it pleased God from a high hill they discovered the two isles in the bay, and so that night got to the plantation, being ready to faint with travel and want of victuals, and almost famished with cold. John Goodman was fain to have his shoes cut off his feet, they were so swelled with cold, and it was a long while after ere he was able to go.

He apparently had not learned his lesson, because just a week later he again went out for a walk with his dog and was faced once again with danger. The adventure is recorded once again by a Mayflower passenger:

This day in the evening, John Goodman went abroad to use his lame feet, that were pitifully ill with the cold he had got, having a little spaniel with him. A little way from the plantation, two great wolves ran after the dog, and the dog ran to him and betwixt his legs for succor. He had nothing in his hand but took up a stick, and threw at one of them and hit him, and they presently both ran away, but came again. He got a pale board in his hand, and they sat both on their tails, grinning at him a good while, and went their way and left him.

Although William Bradford wrote that John Goodman died of sickness soon after this incident, this may have not been the case as he received a share in the 1623 division of land, although this may have been in name only. Some researchers have suggested that this land was set aside for John's children whom he left behind in Holland. Although likely that John Goodman did have children, whether any survived to adulthood or what their named are, remains a mystery.

John Goodman (c. 1595 to 1623-1627) was a Pilgrim who traveled aboard the Mayflower in 1620 to Plymouth, Massachusetts.

http://mayflowerhistory.com/goodman

John Goodman has been a difficult Mayflower passenger to research.

Early life

Virtually nothing is known about the details of John Goodman's life before the Pilgrims' voyage to New England. It is believed that Goodman was originally a passenger of the Speedwell, a smaller companion ship of the Mayflower. However, a number of irreparable leaks forced passengers of the Speedwell to be moved aboard the Mayflower. At the time of the Mayflower's journey, he is listed as a linen weaver and being 25 years of age.[1] There are conflicting records of whether he was married or not;[2] no wife is recorded as having come over to Plymouth to join him, possibly having decided to stay behind in Leiden.

Life in the New World

On January 12, 1621, Goodman, along with another settler, Peter Browne, became lost in the woods after working to gather thatch for the construction of homes in the settlement. A search party was dispatched by Governor John Carver in the hopes that the two men would be found before they might inadvertently cross paths with natives living in the area. At some point, while still lost, Goodman and Brown believed they had heard "two lions roaring exceedingly for a long time together, and a third, that they thought was very near them."[3] This led the two men to attempt to take shelter in a tree. However, after finding the task too implausible, they remained awake all night, pacing around the base of the tree. The "lions" they heard, more likely to be wolves or coyotes, never came. The following day, the two men were able to find their way back to the settlement, but not before Goodman's feet were temporarily crippled from frostbite due to the snowing and freezing conditions.

On January 19, while Goodman was recovering from his injuries, two wolves were reported to have run after "a little spaniel" that was with him. The dog allegedly took comfort between Goodman's legs while he picked up a stick and threw it, managing to hit one of the wolves and drive them off. However, they soon returned. Goodman picked up a fence-post, ready to utilize it while the wolves sat nearby, "grinning at him a good while" before finally departing on their own.[4] This is thought to be one of the earliest recorded wolf attacks in North America.

Death

The exact cause and date of his death are unknown. During the winter of 1620-1621, roughly half of everybody in the party died, overwhelming from sickness rather than cold or starvation. It is unknown if Goodman was among those people, and if so, what he died of. Governor William Bradford later recalled him as having been among those who died during that first winter, despite the fact that John Goodman's name appears in the 1623 Division of Land agreement in the colony. While less likely, it is theoretically possible that Goodman had a son whose name would have appeared on the agreement in place of his father's, although there is no record of a son joining him on the voyage over. Nevertheless, John Goodman's name does not appear at all in the 1627 Division of Land agreement, thus indicating that he likely died sometime between 1623 and 1627.[5]

MAYFLOWER DEBUNKED

Managers of John Goodman,

I am contacting you about this profile: John Goodman, "Mayflower" Passenger

Considering that Elizabeth Goodman never left England and her children were all born there, and this John died roughly at the age of 26 in the Colony of Massachusetts, there seems to be a mistake here. His parents were born in Northamptonshire and he is said to have been born in Devon, which places aren't very close. There is also information in the 'About' section which mentions him having lived in (or been from?) Holland. So I don't think this is the same John Goodman that Elizabeth was married to. I propose that these two John Goodmans have been connected erroneously. Both of their first names and surname are common enough.

I don't have time to look into this, but I hope someone else will.

Thanks...

Sincerely,

Amy Anderson

My answer

Wow Amy, you opened a can of FAKE PEDIGREE worms! And we can thank FindaGrave as recently as Jan 2015 for steering the internet FAKE wrong!!!!!

This is http://www.geni.com/people/John-Goodman-Mayflower-Passenger/6000000...

- no known marriages
- no known children - I havent checked parents yet

This is http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=14134... claiming he is married to an invented woman, Joan Elizabeth Pye

But this is "the real" Elizabeth Pye, she married Thomas Burgess

John goodman of the Mayflower did not marry Sarah Codmoer... or Mary Codmoer?...

That was debunked here

Who, in reality, we have no idea where / when she was born or what her maiden name was. Just that she was the wife of http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=38446827

Who was "maybe" the son of the Elizabeth Pye & Thomas Burgess referenced above.

What a mess.

Some of what you have read about John Goodman is OUTRIGHT FRAUD. See https://www.goodmanhistory.com/other-goodmans/mayflower-john-goodman/ in the 388 years since the Mayflower Compact was signed, no one has ever been able to prove to the Membership Committee of The Mayflower Society that they were descended from this John Goodman, from any male or female lineage.

There is no supporting documents that show John Goodman married Joan Pye. Joan Pye is likely confused with Jane Pye, who married George Phippen. I would suggest removing Joan Pye as wife, and then accepting the merge with John Goodman Goodman-204, Mayflower passenger.

Disputed Persons

Not Rev. John Dunham

The Dunham Genealogy claimed that John Goodman was an alias used by the Rev. John Dunham.[1]

"John Goodman, the Mayflower Passenger, and Deacon John Dunham, of Leyden, Holland (and later of Plymouth) were not the same person."[2][3] There is no documentary evidence and is completely disproved by the Leyden records.[4][5] Those interested in Dunham's English origins are referred to TAG 71:130-133.

Not Jan Codmoer, spouse of Mary Codmoer and Sarah Codmoer.

In 1905, Henry Martyn Dexter proposed that John Goodman was the man found in Leiden records as John "Codmoer," widower of Mary Backus, who married Sarah Hooper 16 Sep 1619[6]

But this has been disputed by many later researchers as unfounded: The actual spelling on the record was "Codmoer" and is a pretty significant misspelling of "Goodman" even by Dutch standards.[3][7]

A recent analysis, by Caleb Johnson of Bradford's passenger list, places John Goodman in the group of Leiden Church members. He suggests that the relevance of the marriage record be reconsidered, since John was a Leiden member and there is a marriage record of a John Goodman to a Mary Barker (widow) on 26 Oct 1604 at Everdon, Northamptonshire, consistent with the Leiden betrothal record.[8]

John Goodman, "Mayflower" Passenger was not the son of Edward Goodman and wife Mary Goodman

Edward and Mary had a son John, but John was executor of Mary's 1627 estate, so was alive and living in England.[9]

Mayflower and Plymouth

Bradford listed the following men who sailed on the Mayflower as a group: Moyses Fletcher, John Goodman, Thomas Williams, Digerie Preist, Edmond Margeson, Peter Browne, Richard Britterige, Richard Clarke, Richard Gardenar, Gilbart Winslow.[10]

John signed the Mayflower Compact 11 Nov 1620.[11]

John Goodman had some rather exciting adventures in his first days in Plymouth. He and Peter Brown went out to cut thatch and got lost in the woods. Search parties were sent to no avail. They spent a cold, wet, frightful night in the woods. Animals (they thought lions) howled around them. They had two dogs with them (a mastiff bitch and a spaniel) that they had to hold onto so they wouldn't chase after the wild beasts. They finally found their way back late the following day 13 Jan 1620/1. John's feet were damaged and "it was a long while after ere he was able to go," On the 19th he "went abroad to use his lame feet." "having a little Spannell with him, a little way from the Plantation, two great Wolves ran after the Dog, the Dog ran to him and betwixt his leggs for succour, he had nothing in his hand but tooke vp a sticke, and threw at one of them and hit him, and they presently ran both away, but came againe, he got a paile bord in his hand, and they sat both on their tayles, grinning at him, a good while, and went their way, and left him. The original text of these adventures is found in Mourt's Relation Or Journal of the Plantation at Plymouth. pp 73-78[12]

He had a house plot located on the south side of the street and east of the highway, between William Brewster and Peter Browne.[13]

The 1623 division of land among the Plymouth colonists (probably made in early 1623/4) placed John Alden in the group that received land on the "north side of the towne." Others in this group were Edward Winslow, Richard Warren, John Goodman, John Crackston, Mary Chilton, Captain Myles Standish, Francis Eaton, Henry Cooper, and Humility Cooper [14].

Death ?

Moyses Fletcher, Thomas Williams, Digerie Preist, John Goodman, Edmond Margeson, Richard Britteridge, Richard Clarke. All these dyed sone after their arivall, in the generall sicknes that befell. But Digerie Preist ...[10]

If he died of the general sickness in 1620/1, how was he still alive at the 1623 land division? However, he was not listed in the 1627 cattle division.[14]

Mayflower, First Sickness and Cole's Hill Burial Ground

Research Notes

The Goodman History and Genalogy page claims: He is listed with many of the other later Mayflower passengers on the 1620 voyage of the ship “Speedwell” from Leiden to Southampton. He is aged 25, and listed as a linen weaver. This establishes his birth date as about 1595, possibly in Holland, or in England if he was a son of one of the Separatists who left or were expelled from England and went to Holland, and who comprised the majority of Mayflower passengers to Plymouth. [15]
Where is this ships list??
Unsourced birth: 4 SEP 1587 Fawsley, Northamptonshire, England

The Mayflower hoax and the mysterious “John Goodman”:

This is how rumors get started... The name of John Dunham (my 10th g-grandfather) does NOT appear on any passenger lists of the Mayflower, but this did not prevent one imaginative family historian to make the claim based on speculation concerning a “John Goodman”, who appears on the lists of known Mayflower passengers (he was a signer of the Mayflower Compact), and who is known to have died in the first year at Plymouth. Did John Dunham arrive on the Mayflower, as speculated by Isaac Watson Dunham in his family genealogy published in 1907 (refer to citation below)? The short answer is – almost certainly not.

The accounts of Mr. Goodman’s death in Plymouth during the first winter seem to be at odds with land records in subsequent years that show that he was given land adjacent to Elder William Brewster [He is the g-grandfather of the husband (Benjamin Bartlett, 1658-1724) of my 8th g-grand aunt (Ruth Pabodie, 1658-1740). Ruth is the sister of my 8th g-grandmother, Martha Pabodie (1651-1712)]. To explain this apparent discrepancy, Isaac Watson Dunham advanced the theory that John Dunham traveled on the Mayflower under the alias John Goodman to protect the reputation of his family in England, who disagreed with his Puritan beliefs and were ardent supporters of the Church of England. According to the Dunham Genealogy John related to the royalist Zouche family. William Zouche had been appointed to arrest the pilgrim separatists, and Sir Edward Zouche was chairman of the commission engaged in settling New England. It was proposed that Dunham felt the need to continue using the alias until after the death of King James. However, research since 1907 has definitively put to rest the theory that John Dunham arrived on the Mayflower. From the book The English Ancestry and Homes of the Pilgrim Fathers by Charles Edward Banks (Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1962) comes the following: “John Goodman came from Leyden and died without issue in the first winter. The statement, which appears in the Dunham Genealogy that this was a name assumed by Deacon John Dunham, a later emigrant, as a mask to hide his identity, is an absurd suggestion without the slightest documentary evidence. In fact, it is completely disproved by the Leyden records.” I am not aware of what alternative explanation there may be for the posthumous land records of John Goodman.

The photo is a monument to those Mayflower passengers who did not survive the first winter of 1620-21 (Coles Hill Burial Ground, Plymouth, Massachusetts), including John Goodman.
