2. LORENZO DOW (SENIOR) GOODBERRY was born Abt. 1830 in United States. He married ISABELLA MARGARET/MARGARET JANE BRIDGEN, daughter of SAMUEL BRIDGEN and ANN FORD. She was born Abt. 1836 in Ireland.
Notes for LORENZO DOW (SENIOR) GOODBERRY:
From the 1861 census for Hinchinbrooke Township in Frontenac County, Ontario, compiled and augmented by Russ Waller, U.E.:
Page 9/Hinchinbrooke:
Goodberry, Lorenzo Age 31 Born US Presbyterian Farmer
Goodberry, Margaret Jane Age 25 Born Ireland Presby.
All 5 Goodberry children born in Canada West and also Presbyterian: Charles age 8; Ann Eliza, 6; Miles, 5; Almira, 3; Sarah, 1.
Goodberry, Jane Age 52 Widow Born US EM
Goodberry, Charles 26 Single Born Canada West Farmer
Goodberry, George 20 Single CW
Goodberry, Esther 18 " CW
Bridgen, Samuel H. Age 55 Born Ireland Presby. Farmer
Bridgen, Ann (Ford) 46 Born Ireland "
All 7 Bridgen children born in Canada West and also Presbyterian: James age 19; Samuel, age 15; Isabella also 15- (were Samuel and Isabella twins?); Matilda, 12; Esther, 9; Ellen, 7; Alonzo, 4.
I have assumed that 25 year old Margaret Jane Bridgen Goodberry recorded above and living with husband Lorenzo and children recorded immed. next door to Samuel, Ann and children is also a daughter of Samuel and Ann.
Same page are recorded two "Goodfellow" families also from Ireland- is there a connection between Goodfellow and Goodberry families?
