This book presents the Goodman family, with a focus on George and Catherine (Gouger) Goodman, along with their ancestry and descendants. George Goodman, we know owned land in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1779. He served in the Revolutionary War. His wife Catherine Gouger had a most interesting life, being born in New Jersey, and soon after her family moved to Berks County, being among pioneer families in that area. At that time Indian uprisings were frequent.It was near the end of the fulfillment of the League of Amity made by William Penn who had died in 1736. His son sought to take more land from the Indians. There is most likely a relationship to Richard Goodman, the progenitor of the American family, who was born in 1609 in Leicestershire, England. Richard's family belonged to the landed gentry, and were lords of the manor of Blaston. Richard settled in the newly established Hartford, Connecticut as a young man and bachelor. Typescript.
