THE GOODHINDS OF SALTFORD
Notes, Wills and Pedigrees
- 1989 -
by J Goulstone

Introduction.

Since the close of the Middle Ages what in many respects may be regarded as the most distinguished of the various Goodhind families scattered about the country was one settled in North Somerset, mainly in the picturesque stone-built village of Saltford, beside the river Avon half way between Bath and Bristol. For example all the numerous Goodhind wills proved until the last century in the premier ecclesiastical court, the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC), relate to members of this one particular family.

The Saltford Goodhinds, who first emerge into the light of recorded history during the reign of Henry VIII, were descended from a John and Edith Godehyne, born it seems sometime around the 1450s or '60s. However, other than what appears in their son John's will of 1528 nothing is known about this ancestral couple though they were probably related to the Bisses of Stoke Lane and Publow, one of whom was appointed overseer of the 1528 will.

By the 17th century the Goodhinds formed the principal family in Saltford. As many as six are found in the subsidies for 1609-10:

John, Thomas, Alice, Thomas junior, Joan and William

and 1628-29:

Sapience, John, Thomas senior and junior, William and Joan daughter of Thomas

while the same number signed the Protestant Petition of 1641:

Abednego, Jerome, John, Robert, William and Meshack

The Saltford parish registers go no further back than 1709 and the missing years can only be partially filled by the 14 Bishops' Transcripts at Somerset Record Office. Moreover many Goodhind wills were destroyed during the War. On the other hand no less than 9 Goodhind wills survive in the PCC registers 1528-1660 and fortunately, from a purely genealogical point of view, the family was extremely litigious. Consequently from the PCC registers and chancery proceedings in the Public Record Office it has proved possible to trace two unbroken lines of Goodhind ancestry (one covering 14 generations) back to the original John and Edith through their grandsons Thomas and John.

Chancery suits are indicated in the text by their C reference - C21 and 22 relating to depositions, others to plaintiffs' initial complaints and to defendants' replies. Unless otherwise stated it may be assumed that dates for baptisms, marriages and burials have been taken from the Saltford Bishops' Transcripts or from C.W.Shickle's typescript copy of the Saltford parish registers in the Society of Genealogists' library.

The Goodhind escutcheon depicted on the front page is based on the arms on Richard Goodhind's eighteenth century monument in Whitchurch parish church near Saltford.

Medieval Records.

Further afield a John Goudhyne received a pardon in Dorset in 1371 for outlawry in respect of his non-appearance before the justices of the bench to answer a plea of trespass against himself and his wife Agnes, while a John Godhyn was one of those accused in 1371 with besieging John Leukenore in his house at Dene by Spelsbury, Oxon, taking away 4 horses, 7 oxen and 200 sheep and attacking his servants. A little later, in 1393, Geoffrey Godehyne was named in a recognizance in the Great Red Book of Bristol and in 1423 John Godehyne of Bristol acted as a trustee of the will of one Walter Frampton.

The first Goodhinds recorded in Somerset seem to have been Richard Goudhyne (Goodhyne, Goodehyne) of Welewe or Wellow, named in 1328, 1339 and 1362 as owner of a plot of land outside Bath Bridge towards Widcombe (see C.W.Shickle's Ancient Deeds of Bath 1921), and William Godhyne, charged with assaulting the Bishop of Bath & Wells during a visitation of Yeovil in 1350 - compelling him to fly to the parish church for fear of his life and besieging him there for two days and nights! Several other references occur in the Bridgwater Borough Archives published by Somerset Record Society:

1366-7 John Godhyne
1404 John Godehyne (borough bailiff 1404; also mentioned 1416 and '37)
1417 Nicholas Godehyne
1445-9 Thomas Godehyne (in 1448 with his wife Alice)
1472 Joan Godhynne, widow (selling half a burgage outside the West gate of the town)
1473-83 Thomas Godhyn/Goodhyne, butcher

Bishop Langton's register has a John Roper instituted to Ashbury vicarage following the death of the previous incumbent William Godhyn. John and William Godhyn, both of Hurst in the Hundred of Martok, were fined 20s each for assisting the rebels during the Cornish rebellion and insurrection of Perkin Warbeck in 1497. And Sir John Godhyn, curate, witnessed Robert Stawell of Cothelstone's will in 1499 and as Sir John Goodhyn, clerk, that of Nicholas Fraunces of Camelflory in 1526.

In addition to those quoted in the text, printed sources for the above include The Victoria County History of Wiltshire, Close and Patent Rolls, Wiltshire Feet of Fines, and Inquisitions Post-Mortem.

From her will proved PCC we learn that she slept in the Manor House in a room, the chamber "next the churche", big enough to contain two beds, that her silverware included 4 spoons, a goblet and a salt and that among her crocks and pans she kept one special pan for heating milk "when I do rune my cheese". She left half her stock of wood to the parish poor, also £1 to the poor of Keynsham and £1 to those of Bath. John and his first wife had 4 children:

Had 5 daughters and 2 sons including William Fisher c1580-1667 involved in law suits with the Goodhinds c1629-33 relating to Braynes tenement, bought by his father from William Goodhind shortly before William's death in 1583, which he leased for 3 lives to his brother in law John Goodhind of Whitchurch; still held the farm 1638 when his mare grazing in one of its fields was impounded by the Goodhinds.

3. WILLIAM G (son of John G - see 2 above), yeoman and clothier of Saltford, inherited a good ewe from grandfather John Holbyn 1548; presumably William Goodwin in 1569 Saltford musters; inherited father's lands, tenements, woods and pasture 1572; died 1583 (will proved PCC). Bought Saltford Manor 1574 by deed dated 6.8: "This indenture made 12th April, in the 16th year of Elizabeth, between Bartylmew Horsey of Marten in Wiltshire, esquire. and William Goodhinde the elder of Saulford alias Salforde alias Saltforde, clothier, witnesseth that Bartylmew Horsey for 306 l. hath sold to William Goodhinde the lordship and manor of Saulford, with the capital messuage in Saulforde now or late in the tenure of William Goodhinde with all lands and rights belonging; four tenements in Saulford now or late in the several tenures of John and Johane Fussell, William Goodhynde the younger, Edward Awste, Agnes Gyles, widow, and Richard Gyles, and all lands belonging; a yearly rent of 8s 4d payable out of a tenement in Saulford now or late in the tenure of John Brayne the younger; all lands in Salford which were of William Horsey, deceased, his father, and all deeds concerning the premises, except such part of the manor as John Goodhynde, deceased, purchased of William Horsey. And Bartylmew Horsey doth covenant that he Bartylmew Horsey is true owner of the premises; and that he and Fraunces his wife will during the space of 5 years next ensuing do all such things for the further assurance of the premises to William Goodhinde by fine or otherwise, so that he and his wife Fraunces will not be compelled to travel further than the city of New Sarum; and that he will discharge the premises of all encumbrances, the rents due to the chief Lord of the fee and estates for not more than three lives made to the above named and others, not excepted." (Somerset Record Society Vol. 51; Enrolled Deeds number 166). Left life interest in the Manor House to wife Alice died 1614-15 (will proved PCC), possibly daughter of John Byde taxed at Keynsham 1570-71 (cf. her reference to "my well beloved brother William Byde of Keynsham"). Alice's wardrobe included her best gown, a green gown, 2 petticoats, 2 waistcoats, one red the other of fustian, a cloak and a velvet-lined hat; she also owned at least 8 silver spoons, a silver goblet and a large assortment of platters, dishes, crocks and porringers; while in her bedroom apart from the bed the principal piece of furniture was a great coffer later bequeathed to her grandson John Sturridge. Outside the house we know she kept 30 or more of her own sheep. William and Alice had 7 children:

a) John G - see 4 below.
b) William G - see 4 below.
c) George G - see 4 below.
d) RICHARD G - left 10 sheep and interest in Richard's tenement 1572; will proved Wells 1593. His sister Sarah deposed 1633 that he died above 39 years ago in possession of Braynes tenement by lease from his father, that she heard her father and mother say Richard should enjoy it for his life, that he owned Braynes by reason of lease "and the said Richard Goodhind did continue the possession thereof unto his dyinge daie", surviving Thomas Fisher (died 1592) by almost one whole year (C21 F2/8).
e) ROBERT G - left 10 sheep and interest in Richard's tenement 1572 when under 21; presumably died before 1583 as not mentioned in father's will.
f) JOAN G - born c1560 (aged 72 when chancery deponent 1633); left 2 platters by grandfather 1572 and £10 payable on marriage by father 1583; stated she knew John Goodhind died 1572 about 12 years and Thomas Fisher died 1592 about 20 years (C21 F2/8); married Richard Sturridge by whom she had 3 sons and a daughter; by 1614 married Jones, in 1633 styled Joan Jones, widow of Saltford (C21 F16/18).
g) SARAH G - born c1576 (aged 57 when chancery deponent 1633: C21 F16/18); inherited £10 payable on marriage from father 1583; deposed 1633 that she knew both William Goodhind died 1583 and Thomas Fisher died 1592; married to James Charmbury, yeoman of Bathampton, by 1600 when legatee of step grandmother Johanne; their children Sarah Charmbury, William Charmbury and James Charmbury named in mother's will 1614.

4. WILLIAM G (son of William G - see 3 above) - left 10 sheep 1572, and by father £3 10s rent paid twice yearly out of Saltford Manor and estate in the manor after mother and brother George's death 1583. It is evidently his now fragmentary will, proved Wells 28.4.1592, in Somerset RO (Goodhine 1592 D/D/Ct): "I bequeath my soul to Almighty (God)", "buryed in ye parish church or churchyard of (Saltford?)", 12d to the same church, daughter Sarah £5 paid by executrix at marriage, wife Alice executrix "giving unto her, (my debtes, legacies (and) funerall expenses paide and discharged) all ye rest of my goodes (and) chattelles whatsoever ... moveable as immovable", John Goodhine and Richard Stirridge overseers 6d each for their pains; witnesses John Godd, George Goodhinde with others; proved by Alice Goodhine; inventory £34 8s 6d. William had daughter:

a) SARAH G - inherited £5 payable at marriage under father's will 1592; in 1614 her grandmother Alice Goodhind left her 2 sheep and a quantity of household goods, remaining in custody of her aunt Sarah Chambery till she "chance to be married". Died 1635, inventory; wearing apparrell 30s, linnen 10s, one feather bed and coverlet 40s, one box and coffer 1s, all the pewter and brasse 54s, one cowe £4 6s 8d, six sheepe 18s, in monne 5s, total £12 4s 8d; signed Richard Lewes, Richard Hodges, John Vizer (Somerset RO D/D/Ct 1635).

4. GEORGE G (son of William G - see 3 above) - left 10 sheep 1572; £5 and life interest in Saltford Manor 1583; 2 boards in the hall, the wainscot, 2 forms and cupboard next to the hall door by step grandmother Johanne 1600. Witnessed William Goodhind's will 1592; He seems to have died c1608, soon after birth of son John since his name does not appear in the 1609-11 subsidy, nor was he mentioned in mother's will 1614. His wife Joan was presumably Joan taxed 1609-11 and Johane occupying a cottage etc. in Saltford 1627 (cf. "2 cottages and gardens" in tenure of Johane Goodhinde widow, and Hugh Brayne and "an acre of land in the Upfield of Saltford belonging to the said cottage in possession of Joane Goodhinde": Flower v Flower, Abstract of Defendant's right to Saltford Manor - Society of Genealogists MSS). She was buried 1635 as Joan, widow, "sometime the wife of George, deceased"; will proved Wells 1635. George's children were left a sheep apiece by Johanne 1600. George had at least 2 sons and possibly a third, George of Newton St Loe:

a) ROBERT G - bapt 1605; perhaps the Robert of Saltford buried Newton St Loe 1669 (will proved Wells 1669); as Robert Godwin with wife Katherine had three children:

i) ELEANOR G - bapt Keynsham 1630; Eleanor Godwin married Henry Cook at Keynsham 1664.
ii) THOMAS G - bapt Keynsham 1631.
iii) ROBERT G - bapt Keynsham 1637.

b) JOHN G - bapt 1607.
c) GEORGE G - as George Gooding in 1661 subsidy for Newton St Loe; the George whose wife Rebecca was buried Newton St Loe 1679, her entry in the register being followed by a note: "Who shall be next ? God knoweth". George and Rebecca had 5 children:

i) GEORGE G - bapt Corston 1634.
ii) JAMES G - bapt Newton St Loe 1637.
iii) GILES G - bapt Newton St Loe 1640; buried 2 days later 23rd May.
iv) JOAN G - bapt Newton St Loe 1640; buried 2 days later 23rd May.
v) JOAN G - bapt Newton St Loe 1643; Joan daughter of George Goodhind left a ewe and lamb by John Smith, husbandman of Newton St Loe 1650 (PCC will).

4. JOHN G (eldest son of William G - see 3 above) - probably born c1560. His sister Joan deposed she had known him for about 50 years. Left 6 sheep and 3 oxen by grandfather 1572; inherited Fryes tenement, reversion of Tates and whole of Saltford Manor 1583. Possibly John churchwarden 1599 and 1607, and John Gooding who attended Keynsham 'law daie' 1615. Mother's residual legatee and executor 1614. Brought chancery suit 8.5.1622 as yeoman, explaining how for 40 years past he "hath been resident and dwellinge at Saltford aforesaid on his ffree hold tenement there and by all the said tyme hath lyved in good estate and reputacon havinge a wief and manye children and by all the said tyme hath endevored by course of husbandrye and maner of his lyvinge to maynetayne him self his said children a greate howsholde and ffamilie and relieved manye poore people out of the .... increased by his labor and industrie", but "being unlearned nor erudited in the lawes but trayned and brought upp onlie in husbandrie not acquaynted with anye cuninge craftie and subtile dealings" and because his "simplicity therin beinge well knowne" to John Payne, craftsman of Keynsham and John Britton the elder, gentleman of Bitton, they plotted with Thomas Rodbourne of Week, Gloucestershire, to defraud him by persuading him to enter into a certain bond dated 16.8.1618 (C2 Jas 1 G5/75). John died 22.8.1624 (ipm); will proved Wells 1624 as John senior. Married Sapience (will proved Wells 1638), the daughter in law left silver goblet, etc by Alice 1614. In 1631 her son John said to have provided security for £5 she owed to Thomas Tucker, yeoman of Saltford (C2 Chas I G8/14). In 1600 Johanne Goodhind left a sheep apiece to John's children. He himself bequeathed an estate to each of his 3 surviving sons (C22 847/6). Altogether John seems to have had at least 9 children:

a) Abednego G - see 5 below.
b) John G - see 5 below.
c) Meshack G - see 5 below.
d) WILLIAM G - left a sheep by grandmother 1614; probably the William with sister Alice granted lease for life of 3rd part of fishing in Avon at Saltford and 1 withybed at Cannells Bath, 2 yards of land at Swynford weir, bullrush bed between Shutes weir and one before Saltford Common Mead at 16d per annum rent 1609-21 (Somerset Record Society Vol. 51: Somerset Enrolled Deeds); died before father.
e) ALICE G - apparently granted above lease with brother William 1609-21. They seem most likely children of John 4 because these were the names of his own parents. Judging by her grandmother's will Alice was dead by 1614 or else married to Rawlins or Blincomb, i.e. Alice Rawlins of Keynsham mother of Sarah and Margaret Saunders or more probably Alice Blincomb left a sheep and a flock bed, bolster, pair of canvas sheets, coverlet, holland sheet and holland pillow case.
f) ELIZABETH G - inherited a sheep, 2 pewter dishes and a holland handkerchief from Alice 1614; buried 1636 as Elizabeth daughter of John and Sapience, will proved Wells 1637.
g) EDWARD G - left 3 sheep by grandmother 1614 but must have died young.
h) ANNE G - left a sheep, featherbed, etc. by Alice 1614 though actual relationship not stated.
i) ELINOR G - received same bequests as Elizabeth under Alice's will 1614; as Elioner Harper helped the Goodhinds rescue her brother John's cattle as they were being driven along Saltford Street to the pound 1638 (see Abednego 5 below); wife of George Harper alias Hicks (weaver of Saltford, born c1597 (C21 F12/4), exempted from Hearth Tax 1670) and mother of Eleanor 1636, Edward 1639-39, Sapience 1640-60.

5. ABEDNEGO G (3rd son of John G - see 4 above) - yeoman, left 2 sheep by grandmother 1614; signed 1641 Petition; died c1655 (about 30 years ago in 1685 - C22 847/6); married for about 11 years to Anne (born c1613, aged 72 in 1685), sister of John Grabham, who as widow married ---- Davis. Subject of chancery contempt inquiry at Bath 31.8.1638 when the main witnesses were William Lane of Bourton {?}, Wilts, and John Cox of Saltford who supervised Braynes farm in Saltford on behalf of William Fisher of Bathampton (grandson of John Goodhind 2). Lane deposed that around Easter 1638 he and Cox, on finding them in a field belonging to Braynes, drove away cows belonging to John Goodhind (Abednego's brother) and impounded them in the Hundred of Keynsham pound. But two days later Abednego, Jeromy, Arthur and Anne Goodhind with one Jeromy Burnet brought the cattle from the pound and forcibly drove them back into the field where Abednego "bid the said Jeromy Goodhind to kill this depont (Lane) with his knife which the said Jeromy Goodhind had then .... in his hand." Later the same day Lane and Cox again took the cattle out of the ground "and were driving them through the street of Saltford towards the pound, in which street the said Abednego Goodhind, Jeromy Burnet, Jeromy Goodhind, Arthur Goodhind and Ann Goodhind sonnes and daughter of the defendant John Goodhind and one Elioner Harper did then with force ..... take the said cattle from this depont and the said Cox soe as they could not impound them." Afterwards, about Whitsuntide, Jeromy, Arthur and Ann Goodhind chased a mare belonging to William Fisher out of the same field, with Abednego waiting at the gate "where the said mare should come forth to aid and assist them". When Lane showed them an official warrant with the king's seal confirming Fisher's right to the ground Abednego "answered with words vizt. .... I care not a turd for it, nor for him that sent it." They then seized the mare and placed it in the Saltford common pound from whence Abednego removed it to the Hundred pound at Keynsham. Cox likewise deposed that the Goodhinds and Burnet, whom he described as children of John Goodhind, forced their cattle into the ground at Braynes "notwithstanding hee this depont and the said William Lane did to their power resist them", and further "Abednego did then hould upp a hatchett at the said William Lane, saying that he could find it in his heart to strike the said Lane in the head" (C21 G5/15). One inference seems to be that Abednego was then living with and working for his brother John, and presumably continued thus until his marriage in the earl 1640s. This may be why his son Shidrack evidently confused this John with Abednego's father John senior who died 1624 when years later he claimed their royalist sympathies caused them to leave Saltford during the Civil War - his "grandfather (sic) and father by reason of the instability and troubles of the times in the latter part of the said Matisse reigne and to avoid the grinding tyranny of the after usurping powers whose displeasure and resentment they had highly incurred were both forced .... to retire and abscond themselves in places ..... remote from their owne habitations" and "by reason of their continued loyalty incurred divers debts", both being "plaine and uncaring men" (C8 287/25). However, others declared that besides being "a churchman and an honest dealer" Abednego was "a man that loved to keep his coate whole and tooke neither King nor Parliament ..... not a person of power or authority in the said late Rebellion but a man that kept his church and medled not on either party but was accounted rather a loyal rather than a round head". During this period, on 19th January 1646, he mortgaged Tates tenement to William Bayley, a transaction which eventually led to a chancery action over ownership of the land, when his widow (in 1685) related how 35-40 years ago Bayley repeatedly came to her husband desiring to see his writings and deeds for the premises on pretence of patching up some difference which then existed between Abednego and Jeromy Goodhind concerning the land, promising to restore them afterwards. They were loaned to him but never returned even though she and her son asked him several times. To the question was Abednego "an easy foolish man ... (who) would part with what he had"? one villager replied that he "was a foolish giddy headed fellow and ready to pawne any thing for a quarter of the worth of it", another that he was "an easy foolish sort of man and would part with any thing for a small matter of money and .... hath heard that he hath borrowed fower shillings of one Marrian Long and returned back two of them presently for the loan of them and would often goe about and doe soe", while according to his widow he was "a foolish crasy man and would part with what he had for lesse than the vallue of it and did often goe up and downe to his neighbours and borrow of them a shilling or two or three and give them back halfe for the loane of it" (C22 847/6). Abednego had 2 sons:

a) eldest son - died aged 2 during father's lifetime (C22 847/6).
b) SHIDRACK G - yeoman of Saltford, 2nd son and heir; born c1645, aged about 40 in 1685; brought chancery suit v John son of William Bayley regarding ownership of Tates tenement 1683 (C8 287/25; depositions 1685 C22 847/6 - see Bristol and Avon Family History Society Journal pages 9-10). Possibly had son:

i) ABEDNEGO G - of Saltford, will proved Wells 1719.

5. JOHN G (eldest surviving son of John G - see 4 above) - yeoman, aged 30 or more at time of father's death 1624 (ipm); left a sheep by grandmother Alice 1614. His aunt Sarah Charmbury said she heard him "her cosen", "reade the will of John Goodhind his great grandfather" viz. John died 1572 (C21 F16/18). Owned Goodhinds Farm in Saltford which he sold away in several parcels (C22 847/6); known to the rector of Saltford as "farmer Goodhind" in 1634 (C21 G3/1). Disputed his cousin William Fisher's right to sell the farm of Braynes (bought or leased 31.1.1583 by his father Thomas Fisher from William Goodhind), claiming it was his own land; after entering and taking possession at the feast of St James 1629 became involved in chancery suits 1629-37 over ownership (see John Goodhind of Whitchurch) also had hearing in the Court of Common Pleas and visited London in connection with Braynes 1632; claimed he leased the land to cover his debts to the Vizers of North Nibley, Gloucestershire, 1633 presumably as part of marriage settlement (C21 F12/4); caused controversy by pasturing his cattle in a field at Braynes while judgement still pending 1638 (see Abednego 5 below). Brought chancery actions v Thomas Tucker 1631, regarding £26 bond dated 21.12.1625 for £13 borrowed by John Goodhind (C2 Chas I G8/14), and William Bayley 1633 (C2 Chas 1 G57/37 and G45/7) concerning sale for £80 of 2 meadows in Saltford called Calves Lease and Three Acres when it was agreed that if John repaid the sum with expenses plus 8% per annum interest within 7 years they would be returned. Bayley paid £62 when the deed was drawn up on 6.4.1632 and admitted he still owed £18. On 8.9.1632 they met in Saltford churchyard in the presence of the rector and others where John offered him £66, which was refused. One of the 3 witnesses to the deed was John Locke senior, father of the philosopher John Locke, who with his own father Nicholas gave evidence for John Goodhind when depositions were taken at Pensford on 20.3.1634 (C21 G3/1). While unmarried his younger brother Abednego seems to have lived with him and worked on his farm, presumably the reason why his son Shidrack confused him with Abednego's father, John senior (died 1624), when he reported in 1683 that his grandfather (ie uncle) John and Abednego were forced to leave Saltford during the Civil War because of their royalist tendencies. John was stated to have died during Shidrack (born c1645)'s infancy so can be identified with the John Goodhind, yeoman of Whitchurch, whose nunc. will of about 25.12.1649 - witnessed by his brother in law George Harper alias Hicks, proved PCC by daughter Joan, sole beneficiary 27.11.1651 - instructed his body to be buried in Saltford church. He married secondly? c1633 Agnes sister of John Vizer (born c1580), yeoman of North Nibley, named as his brother in law (C21 F16/13 and G3/1). Agnes held a lease on land in Braynes 1635 (C21 F12/4) and with husband sold 6 messuages in Saltford 1640 and another 1648 (Schedule). John had at least 4 children, none of them alive by 1685:

a) ANNE G - helped her brothers bring John Goodhind's cattle from Keynsham pound to Saltford and chase William Fisher's mare out of a field on Braynes farm 1638.
b) ARTHUR G - perhaps the son of John Goodhind bapt 1622 (name illegible in Bishops Transcripts); involved in dispute over father's cattle and Fisher's mare 1638; presumably died soon afterwards since did not sign 1641 petition.
c) JOAN G - youngest daughter, father's sole legatee and executrix 1649-51.
d) JEREMIAH G - (Jeromy) eldest son; prominent in rowdy scenes arising from disagreement over the right of father's cattle to graze in a field at Saltford 1638, when John Cox stated: "Jeromy Goodhind at such tyme as this deponent and William Lane did pull the cattle out of the said ground did drawe his knife at the said Lane, threatening to kill him" (C21 G5/15); signed 1641 Petition; said to have had a difference with Abednego over ownership of Tates tenement in Saltford c1645 (C22 847/6); with John and Agnes sold messuage in Saltford 1648 (Schedule); mortgaged Calves Lease and 3 acres to William Bayley but after father's death commenced suit against him for the land before coming to an agreement whereby Jeremiah sold it outright for a payment of money (C22 847/6).

5. MESHACK G (2nd surviving son of John G - see 4 above) - bapt 1605; husbandman of Saltford, giving age as 29, when chancery deponent for brother John 1634 regarding fields in Saltford called Calves Lease and Three Acres, which he declared he had known "ever since he hath bine of good memory" (C21 G3/1); churchwarden 1636; signed 1641 Petition; yeoman of Saltford 7.1650 when chancery plaintiff regarding money owing on bond dated 10.6.1646 when with John and William Goodhind he became bound for £80 to pay Devereux Castrell of Charlton, Gloucestershire, £40 18s by 10.12 following; executor and residual legatee of father in law William Goodhind 1653; died 1657-60. Married Joan Goodhind (see pedigree 2) who went to law 10.7.1660 about her right as widow to certain properties in Saltford formerly owned by the rector, Richard Lewis who died 1640, viz. (1) several messuages, lands, tenements, barns, stables, stalls, "pigescoates", edifices and buildings adjoining together, once in tenure of Richard Lewis, later Sapience Goodhind deceased, between on the West side a way leading forth from Saltford street unto a certain ground called Home close, then or late in occupation of Thomas Goodhind, and on the East side the house and beckside (i.e. farmyard) of Thomas Goodhind; (2) all that Barton lying on the South side of the said barns etc. and extending to Saltford street, then limited by "pilchent of certain stones" in the West side of the same Barton; (3) parcel of ground called Mow Barton limited and moated, extending in length from the North West "quine" (quoin) of the said barn northwards 48' and in width at the North end 17', with free liberty of ingress, egress and regress with all manner of drifts and carriages at all times through the aforesaid way leading from the street to Home close; (4) 8 acre close called Camers and 1 acre meadow in the westward end of the Common Mead of Saltford "shuting" along or near the Avonside. About 12.1639 Richard Lewis sold them to William Browning, who in 4.1643 sold them to Meshack, who by deed of 10.1657 conveyed them to William Tunstall and Thomas Goodhind to hold for the use of Meshack and Joan for their lives. After her husband's death Joan "well hoped quietly to have held and enjoyed the same accordingly". But, she claimed, Nathaniel Milner, yeoman of Compton Martin, with --- Goodhind, heir at law of Meshack and Richard Lewis junior confederated together to deceive and defraud her of her estate and share the benefit among themselves. Milner made several entries into the premises and threatens to make more, giving out in speeches that Richard Lewis conveyed them to his son Richard Lewis junior before selling them to Browning and the son afterwards sold them to him. And by some casual or indirect means the defendants have got into their hands the 3 deeds which they endeavour to conceal and suppress so the plaintiff cannot establish her right to the lands. Milner replied that the rector or his son, to discharge a £70 8s 6d debt owed his father Thomas Milner, on 28.12.1642 sold the 8 acre close and the acre in the Common Mead to Thomas's son Joseph in trust for the defendant. This he alleged was before the sale to Browning (though according to Joan that was in 1639). He only, he said, laid claim to these 9 acres (C6 165/44). Meshack had 3 sons and 2 daughters living 1685 when his brother in law, Thomas Goodhind, deposed that he had seen 4 of them within the past 2 days:

6. JOHN G (eldest son of Meshack G - see 5 above) - bapt 1637; left £10 by grandfather William Goodhind 1653; living in Saltford as a blind man 1685. A week or fortnight before his uncle Thomas gave evidence 1685 John told him he had been requested to meet Francis Creswick esq. at Keynsham but about what he knew not. When Thomas later saw him there he related how Francis Creswick on behalf of the plaintiff (Shidrack) had asked him if he knew anything about the premises in question and had replied he had no idea why they went to law: his grandfather left plaintiff's father an estate and did not know why he should not enjoy it (C22 847/6). John probably had son:

a) RICHARD G - (son of Richard senior ?); Richard father of Meshack named in Meshack senior's will 1707 and Richard husband of Hannah from Kelston Mills buried Saltford 1744?. Richard had daughter Mary and probably son Meshack and daughter Elizabeth:

7. EDWARD G (son of Meshack G - see 6 above) - buried 1773; during mother's lifetime married Elizabeth buried 1779 as Betty. In 1774 his son Joseph and widow Elizabeth went to court stating that Meshack, yeoman, late of Saltford, possessed estates, messuages, lands and tenements (including the house where he dwelt with garden, orchard and property called Bathside) which he bequeathed to his dear wife Abigail for her life with reversion to his son Edward, also 3 acres of pasture called Gassons Cross at Bathside left to Edward. Meshack died about 1707 leaving a will proved by his executrix Abigail about 9.1707 which required Edward to pay Meshack son of Richard Goodhind £10 one year after Abigail's death. Abigail died around 9.1716. Edward had insufficient funds to discharge the £10 legacy so about 1716-17 secured £20 loan from Lamerock Flower of Saltford. On 12.8.1719 he witnessed Lamerock's will proved PCC 1719 which referred to the mortgage on Edward Goodhind's house. After Flower's death his sister Mrs Joanna Flower pressed for repayment. Unable to pay, Edward conveyed the above premises to Joanna for the term of his life. Joanna held them till her death, then they were owned until his death by her nephew John Flower, then by Lamerock Flower, gentleman of Saltford (son of George Flower, deceased and nephew of the said John Flower), still in occupation and holding all the relevant papers in 1774. Edward Goodhind died intestate about 1.3.1773 leaving Elizabeth his widow and Joseph his eldest son and heir.

The Goodhinds of Saltford - Pedigree 2.

0. JOHN and EDITH Godehyne - fl. c1450-1500?; see pedigree 1. John and Edith had son:

1. JOHN G (son of John and Edith G - see 0 above) - husbandman, taxed at Saltford 1524; will dated 6.9.1528 proved 20.10.1528 PCC; married Isabel; see pedigree 1. John had 4 children:

a) John G - see pedigree 1.
b) Thomas G - see 2 below.
c) JOAN G - left £20 by father 1528.
d) ALICE G - left £20 by father 1528; by 1572 the sisters' married names were Relie and Paramour and their children included William Relie.

2. THOMAS G (son of John G - see 1 above) - inherited Stibes tenement 1528 when father's executor; taxed at Saltford 1543-44 as Thomas Gooding; presumably dead by 1570 since not recorded in subsidy. Married Johane who as widow married John Fussell, yeoman of Saltford and Stoke Lane, and was executor of his will 1585 when received 40s per annum for life; held tenement in Saltford in own right as Joan Fussell 1574; buried 1605 when her will said to have been proved by son Thomas Goodhind (C21 F6/6 and F27/56). Among Thomas's children, left a sheep apiece under his brother John's will 1572, were:

a) William G - see 3 below.
b) Thomas G - see 3 below.

3. WILLIAM G 'the younger' (son of Thomas G - see 2 above) - perhaps William Goodwine, archer, Keynsham musters 1569; taxed at Saltford 1570 as Godwyn or Goodwyn; occupied tenement bought by William senior from Bartholemew Horsey 1574; left 40s and (with brother Thomas) his plough harness by father in law and step father John Fussell alias Clarke 1585; will proved Wells 1603. Married Johan Fussell born c1545 - left cow by father John 1585; aged 84 when too old and impotent of body to travel from Saltford to Frome to give evidence in chancery hearing 1629 and 88 when deponent 1633 (C21 F6/6 and F27/56); Their children, left a sheep each by John Fussell 1585, included:

a) EDITH G - inherited an additional 20 sheep and a heifer from grandfather John Fussell 1585; in 1629 referred to as Edith Wood, widow, daughter of Johan Goodhind nee Fussell and sister of William Goodhind (C21 F6/6). Most likely married George Wood of Saltford buried Bitton 1622. Edith possibly had children George and Barnaby (died 1690) Atwood of Saltford).
b) THOMAS G - known as "the younger" to distinquish him from his uncle Thomas and his cousin Thomas "the youngest"; presumably died c1623-29 as not called as witness at chancery hearings; Thomas had the following children:

i) JOHANE G - as daughter of Thomas left a sheep by Johane Goodhind, widow, 1600; apparently died 1600-5, though conceivably she was daughter of Thomas 3 (see below).
ii) JOHANE G - bapt 1606; "Johanne Goodhind the daughter of Thomas Goodhind" in 1628 Saltford subsidy.
iii) ELIZABETH G - bapt and buried 1607.
iv) MARY G - bapt 1623 as daughter of Thomas "the younger".

c) WILLIAM G - born c1570, died 1653; received 10 groats as overseer of Robert Adridge, rector of Saltford, 1615; churchwarden 1622, 1639; yeoman aged about 60 in 1629, 60 in 1633 and 63 in 1633 when chancery deponent (C21 F/6, G5/15, F2/8); in 1639 deponent aged 60 when gave evidence about hiring a horse at Saltford to Anne Shephard (C21 W38/5). Stated he was son of Joan and grandson of John Fussell and knew John's land in Stoke Lane all the time of his remembrance (F6/6); he heard his father say William senior (died 1583) was possessed of 5 tenements: "his said father did likewise saie that he might have bought the ... of the said tenements in the possession of William Goodhind the younger, of the said William Goodhind" (F2/8); he knew William Goodhind who died 1583, also John Goodhind & William Fisher from their infancy (F2/8). On 6.1.1636 brought chancery suit, saying about 16 years last past (c1620) he owned a messuage with 78 acres of land, meadow & pasture in Saltford worth £40 per annum., bought with his own money from William Bassett esq deceased of Uley, Gloucestershire, and his brothers Barnabas Bassett and Edward Bassett. About 10.1630 when "visited by the hand of Almighty god with sickness in so much that yor orator was destitute of all hope of life havinge many smale children and none of them pvided for of any porcon of goods or monies to pferr or settle them in any course of livinge in the worlde for their maintenance yf in case yor orator had then dyed" and "being much oppressed with greife and takinge to himselfe some care of his younger children", he hoped his second son Robert "would be in stead of a ffather to his brothers and sisters and also an obedient and dutifull childe to his mother yf in case it had pleased Almighty god to take yor orator at that tyme out of the miseries of this worlde," and pay the children £20 each when 21 or married. The sums were to be paid out of the profits of the above property which he conveyed in trust by deed of 2.11.1630 to Richard Lewis, rector, and John Parsons, yeoman of Saltford for the use of the plaintiff. William for life, then for his wife Elizabeth, then after her death for Robert for life, under condition that if he were restored to health he would be re-instated as owner. They assured him the deed was made accordingly and he sealed it "albeit he was at that tyme soe sick and weake in body that he knew not what he did other than what he was informed or made to believe was true as aforesaid". On regaining his health he was unable to recover his estate. Robert, he claimed, confederated with Richard Lewis and John Parsons so that they refused to return the deed or a copy, and "now giveth out in speeches that yf yor orator were dead he would psently enter into and uppon yor orators said lands and expulse yor orators now wife and leave yor orators younger children destitute of any releife for their said porcons" - "and also behaveth himself in such deboyse and undutiful maner towards yor orator in wastinge and consuming yor orators estate and goods that yor orator is like to be utterly undone by him." The defendants replied that in 10.1630 William had 4 daughters, Joan, Elizabeth, Welthian and Edith, unprovided for and had conference with Robert when he agreed to settle the messuage (minus part of the land worth £8 per annum sold to Thomas Tucker now dead) on Robert for raising money to pay Joan £50, Elizabeth £20, Welthian £20, Edith £10, while to ensure payment Robert entered into bonds with each of them, for £100, £40, £40 and £20 respectively. The deed of feoffment was made according to William's meaning at the time. Robert denied collusion with Richard Lewis and John Parsons or that he would expel Elizabeth from the land, she having an estate therein for life, or leave her children destitute; also denied that he "doth anie way carrie himself undutifully towards his father". He further claimed that if the deed (in Lewis' custody) were handed back some ill-minded persons might persuade William to make over his right to others "ill asserted" towards him (C2 Chas 1 G36/46). From the dispute it seems probable that William had 2 sons by a 1st wife and other children by a 2nd wife Elizabeth (died 1631 - 53) who was actually Robert's step-mother and maybe the real instigator of the suit. William died 1653 (will proved PCC) having had at least 7 children:

i) EDITH G - child 1630 when allocated £10 marriage portion; in his will her father mentioned a £10 "bill obligatory" payable on certain lands in Saltford "unto my daughter Edith Goodhind deceased" passed by her "to mee in consideration of a marriage porcon wch I gave her in hand payd".
ii) ELIZABETH G - child 1630 when allocated £20 marriage portion; left pair canvas sheets 1653; married John Dowling (died 1677) at Kelston 1636; buried Kelston 1669 as Elizabeth wife of John; mother of Mary 1638 (left a pewter candlestick 1653), John 1637-37, John 1640, Elizabeth 1651, Thomas 1645, Edward 1649 - her children received 12d each from their grandfather 1653.
iii) WILLIAM G - bapt 1599; bequeathed "one dictionarye, three volumes of Tullyes orations, one Ovide Epistles" by Rev Robert Adridge 1615; living at Chipping Sodbury by 1632; William had 2 children named in his father's will:

iv) JOAN G - born after 1619 as minor in 1630; probably eldest daughter since listed first in chancery document and awarded the largest marriage portion (£50); chancery plaintiff 1660 as widow of Saltford (C6 165/44); married Meshack Goodhind (see pedigree 1 - Meshack 5).
v) WELTHIAN G - child 1630 when allocated £20 marriage portion; as "Welthing Tunslale" left 12d nd her children 12d each by father 1653. Presumably wife of William Tunstall, yeoman of Saltford, a trustee of her sister and brother in law Meshack 1657. His children Elizabeth, Mary, Edith, Thomas and William left £100 jointly by their grandfather, Thomas Tunstall, yeoman of Batheaston 1656 (PCC will).
vi) THOMAS G - born c1619; left bedstead, bed and chest by father 1653; trustee of his sister Joan and brother in law Meshack 1657; clothworker of Saltford aged about 66 when chancery deponent at Lamb Tavern, Bristol 1685 (C22 847/6); possibly Thomas who married Elizabeth Griffith 1641 at Bath Abbey.
vii) ROBERT G (2nd son) - bapt 1607; defendant in chancery action brought by father 1636; signed 1641 Petition; dead by 1653; Robert apparently had son William below, whose only surviving son was named Robert:

a) WILLIAM G - "of Salisbury"; inherited from grandfather coffer, best mow stavel, witch, tub, etc in barn 1653; presumably William Goodhind, yeoman of Bemerton near Salisbury, who married Mary Cox of same parish 1676 (Wiltshire Marriage Licence). Will proved Salisbury 1691, inventory (Wilts RO) amounting to £981 9s; held lease of the Bell Inn at Fisherton Anger, Wiltshire, and owned freehold farm at Bemerton where in 1691 had 93 acres of wheat, 74 of barley and 14 of peas, also 313 sheep, 60 lambs, 12 cows, 9 heifers, 2 calves, 24 pigs, 15 horses, assorted poultry in the farmyard plus 20 flitches of bacon and 300 cheeses in store. Mary must have been his 2nd wife. She can perhaps be identified with the Mrs Goodhind who occupied a brick-kiln at Salisbury 1706, run as Forhead and Goodhind 1714-16. 4 children were mentioned in William's will:

i) ELIZABETH G - born c1668; left £150, father's freehold house and lands in Bemerton, granary, 2 carthouses, small rick stavell, pump, all loose boards in the loft and all the racks and mangers; as spinster of Bemerton aged 28 licensed to marry George Prowle, yeoman, bachelor aged 23 of Gussage All Saints, Dorset 1696 (Wiltshire Marriage Licences).

3. THOMAS G (son of Thomas G - see 2 above) - c1553-1639, buried as Thomas senior. With brother William left his plough harness by step father John Fussell 1585; churchwarden 1605 (unless this was Thomas son of William); inherited John Fussell's will from mother 1605 - "unto whose hand .... (the) will came as being executor to Johan his mother". In 1629 with sister in law Joan Fussell unable to travel from Saltford to Frome for chancery hearing: "they both are of such great age and impotence of body (as not to be) able to come to this place to be examined" (C21 F6/6). Yeoman of Saltford aged about 80 in 1633 when deposed that William Goodhind (died 1583) after purchasing his land "was desirous of satisfaction of his debts to make sale of certain messuages or tenements or some part of them, and did sell to this deponent's knowledge one of the said messuages for .... yeares to William Goodhind this deponent's brother" (C21 F2/8). He or his wife appears to have been related to John Tucker of Attford, Wiltshire, whose PCC will 1624-25 left 20s to "Jeane Goodhin", maybe Thomas's wife or daughter, possibly the Joan daughter of Thomas who inherited a sheep from Johane Goodhind 1600? Tucker also left £4 equally divided among John Goodhind's children and £3 equally divided among those of Thomas Goodhind, the inference being that they then had 4 and 3 children respectively.

Estate of Thomas Goodhind the Younger (Gloucestershire RO).

D2071 E54) Thomas Goodhind the younger by his last will and testament in writing deviseth that (after the decease of his father Thomas Goodhind senior and the raising of £100 by a former settlement to be raised and paid as the said Thomas senior should direct) his executors in trust should upon the mortgage of a house & lands in the said will mentioned raise moneys to pay his debts, and should also raise the sum of £250 which he gave and bequeathed to his daughter Anne. And aftre his debts paid and the "250 raised he gives the premises to his son Thomas and his heirs - In case of death of Thomas before 21 or marriage he gives it to his daughter Anne & her heirs, And if Anne dies before 21 or maariage he gives it to his sister Hannah & her heirs. Thomas Goodhind the younger dies leaving issue his son Thomas and his daughter Anne and leaves another estate settled on his son besides what is charged with the £250 belonging formerly to the tenement and premises so charged with the payment of the said £250. Thomas Goodhind the younger before his death had charged the lands (charged with the payment of £250) with a mortgage of £100.
1. Query. Who is guardian to the 2 children of Thomas Goodhind the younger being both under age - The next of kin to whom the inheritance cannot descend which is the next of kin on the mother's side, who is Anne Fisher, grandmother by the mother.
2. Query. What order must the executors in trust observe in discharge of the debts and other sums charged by the will on the houses and lands - They must first pay the £100 charged on it by old Thomas Goodhind, then the £100 due on young Thomas Goodhind's mortgage, then the debts due by young Thomas Goodhind and then the £250 to Anne the daughter.
3. Query. By what methods may the trustee raise moneys on the premises devised - Only by mortgaging for they cannot sell.
4. Query. Whether may the guardians although there is as much {?} or more charged on the houses and lands as it will yield to sell pay off the debts charged on the houses and lands out of the other lands settled on the son by his mothers joynture - Although what is charged on the house and lands is more than it will yield to be sold for {?} the other lands yet it belonging to the other lands and its being sold of will be great prejudice perhaps to the remaining lands then the sums charged on it do amount to which if so I take it that in as much as the young son hath the portion of the house and lands the guardian ought by the profits of the other lands as much as she can to discharge the house and lands devised from the debts and incumbrances on it that it may be performed for the heir.
