Welcome: Descendents of William Goodhue.
Welcome to the Descendents of William Goodhue and Margery (Watson)Goodhue who arrived in Ipswich, MA in the Spring of 1636 or 1637 from Kent, England.After a year of multiple requests I suspect that includes many of you) to Genforum for a Goodhue message center, we finally have one.
If you are a descendent of a Goodhue, then it is almost 99% sure that you are descended from them if the information provided in the "History and Genealogy of The Goodhue Family in England and America To the Year 1890" is accurate.It is available as a copied reproduction from the Higginson Book Store in Salem, MA for about $30 plus shipping. More, if hard-bound.
I have been able to trace my Goodhue family from William & Margery to Joseph & Rachel Todd; Ebenezer & Mary; Zechariah & Mary Richardson; Zechariah & Mary Toothacher; John & Priscilla Stanley Cushing (Mayflower descendent); Louis Phillips & Mary J. Jones; John (William?) & Josephine Mehitable Abbott to my father, Carroll Goodhue who was born in Moultonborough, NH.His mother, Josephine Mehitable (Abbott) Goodhue and wife of John (William?) Goodhue of Moultonborough (and of Dracut, MA), died at my father's birth.He was the 11th child and he had 3 brothers (John, Nat, & Joseph) and 7 sisters (Ellacoya, Dorothy, Irene, Mary, Ruth, Louisa, Elizabeth).He and his two youngest sisters (Louisa [Lu]& Elizabeth [Bea], were put up for adoption. He, Carroll, was raised by Mrs. Arthur (Jane Hubbard Boit)Hunnewell and her daughter, Jane Boit Hunnewell in Wellesley and Boston, MA. Hence, the reason for my being called Arthur Swearingen Hunnewell instead of Arthur Swearingen Goodhue.
I was born in Boston, MA on 11/11/47 and was raised in Wellesley, MA. My mother was Dorothy Jean Swearingen, the oldest daughter of John Arthur(Bart)Swearingen & Marion Schultz who were from St. Paul, Minnesota. My maternal grandfather, Bart, was a descendent of Gerret Van Swearingen who came to America in 1657 (There is a Swearingen Geneaology that was written by Ms. K. Whyte in 1998 which is available in print and a Genforum message center for the Swearingen's that is very informative.) I have a brother, Carroll Hunnewell (b. - 1954, Boston, MA) and a sister, Margaret Blake Hunnewell (b. 1949, Boston, MA). I am married to Mary Elizabeth Dingle and we reside in Monmouth Beach, NJ. We have six children:
Patrick Tucker(b. 1971, Boston, MA. m. - 01/02/1999 to Aimee Bridgette McCauley)
Elizabeth Ann(b. - 1974, Wilmington, DE)
James Arthur (b. 1977, Red Bank, NJ)
Peter Carroll (b. 1980, Red Bank, NJ)
Madeline Mary (b. 1883, Red Bank, NJ)
Anne Dorothy (b. 1988, Red Bank, NJ)
