    - Capt Daniel Goodwin, Norton Mass, 1767-1830)
    - married Mary (Polly) Briggs
    ------------------------------------
    E.L. Goodwin's Ancestry and History indicates:
    - (Pg 8) Capt. Daniel Goodwin , 6th Son of Benj . & Hannah LeB . Goodwin of Boston, was "born 16th Sept 1767 six clock morning Stormy". On the page opposite the Register in the old Bible, over the heading of St. Matt. are the words,
    "D. G. nursed on the waves,
    In blustering tempests bred, "
    probably in allusion to his seafaring life. he ran away to sea when about 12 years of age. His father sent an officer to take him from the ship. The sailors had hidden him away but the Captain told him he would have to go, so a sailor rowed him ashore. No sooner had he touched land than he began to run. The obliging sailor volunteered to catch him, and ran after him calling out to him, as he pursued, in an undertone, "Run you rascal! Turn to the right, now to the left" & c. By these tactics he soon had him aboard the ship again, which soon sailed. He followed the Sea for about 30 years. He never owned a whole vessel, but commanded merchantmen, and was often super cargo also. He sailed between Boston and Liverpool, and between these and West Indian & South American ports. About the year 1810 he was in the harbour of Buenos Ayres while a naval engagement was in progress between the English and Spanish. One of these fired over his ship, and the other, supposing the fire came from him fired into his vessel and sunk it. It was afterwards raised, but was greatly damaged; and the owner brought suit to recover her value. After a long and expensive trial he was acquitted of responsibility, but his reputation as a commander suffered on account of misrepresentations of interested parties and he retired from service.

    For some years after his marriage he lived in Easton, Mass. but afterwards moved to Norton, where he lived after his retirement. He married, Nov 1, 1795, Mary (Polly) Briggs .
    - (Pg 11) referring to an entry in Frederick Deane Goodwin's journal "23d - - - My Father is dead! He died 10 days ago, 13 of July 1830"

    Daniel married Mary (Polly) Briggs 1 Nov 1795. Mary (daughter of Timothy Briggs and Abigail Patten) was born 20 Jun 1775; died 31 May 1861, Norton, MA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mary (Polly) Briggs was born 20 Jun 1775 (daughter of Timothy Briggs and Abigail Patten); died 31 May 1861, Norton, MA.

    Notes:

    Aunt Mamie's Genealogy Scroll indicates
    - Mary (Polly) Briggs
    - married Capt Daniel Goodwin, 1767-1830
    - was father to Frederick Deane Goodwin, 1805-1881
    - was from Norton Mass
    --------------------------------------
    E.L. Goodwin's Ancestry and History indicates:
    - (Pg 8) He married, Nov 1, 1795, Mary (Polly) Briggs .
    - (Pg 10) Grandmother Goodwin was no doubt a notable woman. The prophecy which his mother taught Ring Semual, of a virtuous woman, seems to have been fulfilled by her in every essential particular. Miss Briggs understands "That she was a grand woman, with large executive abilities and of cultivated tastes". Mother says she was "a woman of uncommon energy, ever in New England, and of a will and determination which, when once she had made up her mind, knew no giving up". And again:- "She was a noble woman". With this agrees fully the impressions I received of her from Father, who inherited many of her strong traits of character and transmitted them to some of his children in a marked degree.

    In the religious education of her family she was most careful and strict. In this, as in other things, her discipline was rigid and her rules exact. Her theology then was Calvinism undiluted. In that cast-iron and uncompromising system she was thoroughly indoctrinated, and it molded her whole life and actuated her every purpose. This was the cause of the "Sternness and repression of affection" of which Cousin Daniel speaks in a letter to me, evidently with his Grandmother in his mind, as being a characteristic of the Briggs family. "This, he says, and others can sympathize with him in the remark, "as traditionally projected into their environment" served somewhat to cloud his own childhood & youth.

    But if her children imbibed with their mother's milk a doctrinal system too strong for healthy hearts to retain, they also inherited a mind to "prove all things" and a heart to "hold fast that which is good". So while maturer experience and larger thought modified the views of most, as they did her own, not one made shipwreck of his faith, according to the fashion of that time and of ours. Every one of her children become professing Christians, and, as far as I can judge, adorned the doctrine of their Mother's God and Savior. Her children's children have cause to rise up and call her blessed: - this strong, stern Puritan mother, who ruled well her house, who repressed her affections for fear indulgence would do her children harm; who believed in the total depravity of human nature as the foundation stone of the Christian faith, and schooled her heart to apply unflinchingly its severest deductions to her own offspring; who taught them self denial and the fear of God, to love His work and to reverence His Sabbaths; to know no law of duty save His commands.

    - (Pg 10 - 11) Grandmother survived him in widowhood for 31 years. She continued to live at the homestead at Norton with the oldest daughter, but visited her children in the south several times, once when Father was in Staunton (?) and once when in Nelson. The following extract was written just before the last visit: - I cannot spoil its delightful flavor by correcting the dear old ladies spelling: - "Tel Fredy grandma is glad the chickens lived and Fannys flowers I expect are very flurishing by this time tel them grand ma loves them & wants to se them I think you will have a job to read all I have written but had I more time you would have more to read - commending you to that Grace that is able to gard to guide & to support & comfort you I remain your affectionate Mother Polly Goodwin (Autograph age - 70)
    (Real autograph cut out and pasted on)

    She never left the Congregational Church, probably because there was no other in Norton. But "she rejoiced that all her children, save one, become churchmen" and her sympathies were all with them.

    She, and all her children, save Aunt Abby , having lived or visited in the South, had no sympathy with abolitionism. The enlistment of one of her grandsons in the Union army so affected her spirits that it made here ill and she never rallied. Father thus records her death:-
    "1861 - July 30. Got a letter from Prov. R. I. informing me of my Mother's death on the 31st of May. I was expecting to hear of it but no letters could pass - this was sent by express to Kentucky. She was 85 yrs. 11 months & 11 days old, having been born the day before the battle of Bunker Hill, & lived through the whole history of the Unites States of America until its close."
    She died seven days after the invasion of Virginia;-; on whose soil her seed ripened to their greatest perfection. "The memory of the just is blessed!"
    [NOTE: if date of death and length of life are accurate, date of birth was 20 Jun 1775]

    From the records of Sally Goodwin Klein, a published copy of a poem written by Dr. Robert Archer was provided and is retyped below:

    NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS

    A Poem written by Dr. Robert Archer, Richmond VA
    Dec 26, 1866

    'Twas the night after Xmas, and all through the town,
    The nurses were running, some up and some down.
    The doctor was wanted, for a plague on Old Nick,
    His visit had made all the little ones sick.
    His cakes were so nice, and his pies were so sweet,
    That from morning till night they did nothing but eat.
    Their hearts were all light and peeped out of their eyes;
    There stomachs were tight and chock full of mince pies.

    They were as merry as larks, had no care for tomorrow,
    Unmindful that joy is soon followed by sorrow.
    The lights were all out, and the blinds were all closed;
    Papa and Mamma in deep slumber reposed,
    The cat on the hearth rug was licking her paws,
    And seemed to be thinking of Old Santa Claus.
    The fire in the chimney burned cheerful and bright,
    And the frost on the panes shone like crystals of light.

    The tea-kettle bubbling before the warm blaze
    Was singing the dirge of once happier days.
    The clock on the mantel had just sounded one,
    And announced that another new day had begun,
    When hark! from the nursery a solo of moans,
    Then a duet of sobs, with a chorus of groans,
    Broke in on the stillness and silence of night,
    And threw the whole house in commotion and fright.

    The mother's quick ear first encountered the sound;
    She jumpted up in bed and sprang out with a bound;
    Papa had oft witnessed such tumult before,
    And the louder the groans, why, the louder he'd snore;
    But oh, such a scene was ne'er witnessed before,
    The children were rolling about on the floor !
    The bed clothes were ruined, the carpet was spoiled,
    And their pretty night dresses were rumpled and soiled.

    The nurse all bewildered was fretting and grieving,
    The children in concert were retching and heaving,
    "Oh! me, I'm so sick, I shall die of this pain,
    I'll never touch Santa Claus candy again!"
    Poor Ma, in a flutter threw up her sad eyes,
    Little Bob with a splutter threw up his mince pies,
    And St. Nick, who was peeping, cried out with a titter,
    "In everything sweet, there's a drop that is bitter,
    But cheer up, my children, you'll soon be all right";
    And cracking his whip he soon dashed out of sight.

    The crisis was over and all went to bed,
    Sweet slumber soon fell on each dizzy head;
    The life blood again freely coursed in their veins,
    And dreams of St Nicholas danced through their brains.
    With a smile they awoke from their visions of bliss,
    As Mamma on each rosy lip planted a kiss;
    And they vowed that in spite of all sickness and pain,
