- Morgan Goode son of Benjamin Goode, the emigrant ancestor. The Father born and reared in England, Benjamin Goode crossed the ocean to America in colonial days settling first as a planter in Virginia. He took an active part in the Revolutionary war, participating in many important battles and subsequently fought the Indians on the frontier. Going then to Indiana, he took up land, and there spent the remainder of his life, dying at a venerable age. These facts were gleaned in part from an old Bible formerly in the possession of Peter Cartwright, the noted frontier evangelist. He was twice married and his children were born and reared on the western frontier one of them being Morgan Goode, the next in line of descent.
A native of Indiana, Morgan Goode was there brought up, receiving excellent educational advantages for his day. Going in early manhood to Christian county, Illinois he became distinguished as the first school teacher in Taylorville. Settling there permanently, he became prominent in public life, serving as county treasurer, and filling other offices of importance. He died while in the prime of life, at the age of sixty years. He married Elizabeth Schoonover, who was born in Pennsylvania, and died at the advanced age of ninety two years, in Illinois. They reared four sons and four daughters bringing them up wisely and well.
