[theogoodwin.GED]

Amy Goodwin was born in Granville County ( now Franklin ) in 1751. She married John Myrick in Franklin County in 1774. John was the son of Francis Myrick. They had the following children listed in the order of
their births: John Goodwin, October 23, 1779; Elizabeth, 1780; Mary Ann, 1781; John Fletcher, 1781; Lucy, January 8, 1782; Martha, 1782; Sarah, 1784; Jordan, 1785; Amy, 1786, and James, 1787. The lapse of time between their marriage and the birth of their first child was very likely because of Johns war duties as a captain in the Seventh Regiment of North Carolina. John and Amy Myrick migrated to Georgia in 1804-1806, with the families of these children and the families of Amy's half-brothers, Young and
David Goodwin. The Myrick families settled on lands in Baldwin County, Georgia. Their lands were between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. Amy Goodwin Myrick died in Baldwin County Georgia in 1834 at the age of eighty-three. She is buried in the Myrick Family Cemetery in Baldwin County. John Myrick died in 1835 at the age of eighty-four and is buried by his wife.

Notes for YOUNG GOODWIN:
[FTWkinfolk2.GED]

[theogoodwin.GED]

Young Goodwin was born in Bute (now Franklin) County, North Carolina, on April 7, 1766. He married Martha Andrews, daughter of Grey Andrews, in 1786. According to the 1790 census of Franklin County, North Carolina, they had one male 16 or under (son, William W.), and three females (ca daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, and the wife Martha).
In 1804-1806, Young and his family, along with his brother, David and his family, migrated to and settled on land in Georgia, Young in Hancock County and David in neighboring Warren County. Some of Young and Martha's children were born in Franklin County, North Carolina. They were: William, Elizabeth, Mary, Theophilus Y., twins John and Emily, born in 1801 and Nauphlet, born ca 1803. Their remaining children were born in Georgia. They were, Young Jr. (1805), Turner Myrick (1808), Martha (1810), Robert (1812), Ann (1814) and Rebecca South Hall (1816).
Turner Myrick Goodwin was very likely named for the Myrick family of John and Amy Goodwin Myrick. John and Amy Myrick's daughter, Lucy Jackson, also named a son Turner Myrick born ca 1812. Amy was the half sister of Young. In 1804-1806, the Myricks left Franklin County, with the Goodwins and settled in Baldwin County, Georgia, adjoining Hancock County. Young and Martha Goodwin had four children who married in Georgia. William W. Goodwin married Jane Sanders on January, 15, 1815; Elizabeth Goodwin married Lawrence Hill ca 1815 and she married her second husband, James Reid in Alabama. Theophilus Y. Goodwin married Eustacia Thompson in 1819 and later married Elizabeth Sims in Alabama; and Mary Goodwin married Richard Bird Jr., in 1814.
The Mississippi Territory was opened for new settlers after the Creek Indian Wars of 1813-1814. The Alabama Territory was created from The Mississippi Territory in 1817. On February 7, 1818, the Territorial Legislature created Cahaba County. Alabama became a state on December 14, 1819. The family of Young Goodwin migrated to the Alabama Territory in 1818. On August 8, 1819, Young and his son, Theophilus Y. Goodwin, witnessed the will of Richard Bird Sr. Richard Bird Jr., husband of Mary Goodwin Bird, was one of the executors. The families of Young Goodwin and Richard Bird Sr., along with the families of their married children, settled on land that became Cahaba County. This land would later be in Bibb County, and at the present is in Chilton
County, in and around the town of Maplesville, Alabama.
Turner Myrick Goodwin, Young's son, donated five acres of land to The Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad for right-of-way in 1853. The building of this railroad, giving the cotton growers easier access to the Alabama and Tennessee riverboat traffic, resulted in the old town of Maplesville moving from it's old location to the railroad, a distance of several miles.
Young Goodwin's tombstone is inscribed, "Died in September 1849 at the age of 83". Some genealogical records list Young's date of birth as April 7, 1767, but if the information on his tombstone is correct he was born in 1766. Martha Andrews Goodwin died on August 13, 1852. They are buried in the Goodwin Cemetery in Maplesville. This cemetery is well kept, with readable headstones. Fifteen Goodwins are buried there, including Julius Goodwin (son of Theophilus H.) and his wife, Margaret Kinnard Goodwin.
Young Goodwin was evidently a wealthy man at the time of his death. His will shows that he gave thirty-eight Negroes plus three thousand dollars to his children . This was in addition to the remainder of his estate which he left to his wife, Martha.
