Robert Goodale and his family immigrated in the summer of 1634. By 1636, they had settled in Salem, and "Robt Goodell" received 20 acres in the Salem division of land. He received an additional grant of one acrew for his household of 7 in 1637, and in January 1638/39, received another 20 acres. He eventually acquired another 440 acres of land from others nearby, and bought and sold land a number of times through the 1650s through the 1670s. The deeds identify his second wife Margaret, "John Smith my son-in-law", daughter "Sara Bacheler the wife of John Bacheler of Wenham," son Zachariah, son Isaack, daughter Hanah Killum and her husband Lot, "my daughter Elizabeth & her former husband John Smith deceased... now the wife of Henry Bennet."

Origins

George E. Williams claimed in his Goodale Genealogy that Robert was baptized at Dennington, Suffolk on 16 Aug 1601, son of Robert and Joan (Artys) Goodell. Great Migration confirmed this baptism, but found also the baptism of another Robert in 1611 (son of Thomas), and there was also a Robert whose mother Elizabeth made her will on 1 Mar 1601.

    MARRIAGE: (1) By about 1630 Katherine _____. She is not seen in New England (unless she is one of the household of seven on 25 December 1637 [STR 1:102]).
    (2) About 30 August 1669 Margaret Lazenby (on 30 August 1669, "Robert Goodell have made choice of & by God's permission do fully intend to take to my wife Margaret Lazenby, late of Exeter in New England (& the which being done), I the said Robert do hereby covenant & promise to & with the said Margaret, that in case she outlives me, to give & bequeath unto her for her comfortable maintenance ... a new dwelling house which I do intend God willing shortly to build, with what household stuff therein God shall please to continue unto me until my death; item: two cows & a horse or mare fit for her to ride on, also my whole orchard upon my farm near my dwelling house at Bald Hill, with six acres of the planting ground upon which the said orchard stands, the best of the said ground & four acres of meadow ground near to my said orchard with a pasture plot of about two acres fenced in near to my said house & orchard & also that she shall have a competency of fire wood & timber for her use ... & after her decease ... shall fall to my son Jacob Goodell ... [and] in case she outlive my said son Jacob that then she shall have & enjoy for her use & benefit that part of my estate which I shall & do intend to leave unto my said son Jacob, during her life" [ELR 6:9]). She received support from the town from 1683 to 1689, and on 25 March 1689 the town paid "for digging of graves" for four people, including "Goody Goodall" [STR 3:96, 102, 131, 138, 142, 158, 173, 174, 179, 200, 204].
    CHILDREN:
    With first husband
    i MARY GOODALE, b. about 1630 (aged 4 in 1634 [Hotten 282]); m. by 1654 John Pease (eldest known child b. Salem 20 May 1654).
    ii ABRAHAM GOODALE, b. about 1632 (aged 2 in 1634 [Hotten 282]); sailed for New England in 1634; no further record.
    iii ISAAC GOODALE, b. in late 1633 (aged "half a year" on 30 April 1634 [Hotten 282]); m. Salem 25 January 1668[/9?] Patience Cooke.
    iv ELIZABETH GOODALE, b. say 1636; m. (1) by 1658 John Smith [ELR 1:39-40]; m. (2) Salem [blank] March 1674/5 Henry Bennett (this marriage record as published from the court copy gives the groom's name as "William," but in deeds he is called "Henry," and these seem to be the more reliable records [ELR 6:66, 9:64]).
    v SARAH GOODALE, b. say 1638; m. Wenham 4 May 1666 John Batchelder [EQC 3:384].
    vi ZACHARIAH GOODALE, bp. Salem 31 May 1640 [SChR 17]; m. Salem 31 December 1666 Elizabeth Beacham. (The baptismal record associated with this son does not include a given name, but, with one exception, ages given in depositions coincide with this date (deposed on 18 July 1676 "aged about thirty years" [EQC 6:191]; deposed 25 November 1679 "aged about forty years" [EQC 7:295]; deposed on 26 March 1685 "aged about forty-five years" [EQC 9:439]).)
    vii JACOB GOODALE, bp. Salem 9 January 1640/1 [SChR 18]; on 28 April 1669, "Jacob Goodale was ordered to pay 5s. to the constable of Andover for bringing home his son" [EQC 4:142]; on 28 June 1676, "Lot Killum" deposed regarding what "Jacob Goodall told him upon his death bed" [EQC 6:191]; on 18 July 1676, "Giles Cory presented upon suspicion of abusing the body of Jacob Goodell by beating, was fined and ordered to pay the witnesses" [EQC 6:190]. (Davis suggests convincingly that the record of 28 April 1669 incorporates a scribal error, and that the order should apply to Robert Goodale, and that the son named in the record was Jacob; Davis also comments that "Some of the evidence given at the time of his death in 1676 points to the conclusion that he [Jacob] was not of entirely normal mentality" [Lydia Harmon Anc 36].)
    viii HANNAH GOODALE, bp. Salem 6 August 1645; m. Wenham 21 May 1666 Lot Killam [EQC 3:384].
    With second husband

    Williams also claimed that this immigrant was baptized at on 16 August 1601, son of "Robert and Joan (Artys) Goodell"[ 5]. Examination of the Dennington register confirms this baptism, but there is also the baptism of another Robert on 17 March 1611, son of Thomas, and we have already seen that the widow Elizabeth also had a son Robert. Although we do not agree with the conclusions made by Williams, further investigation of the records of and vicinity should reveal the correct identity of this immigrant.

    link ROBERT (1) GOODELL, son of Robert and Joan (Artys) Goodell, was born at Dennington, Suffolk county, England, 1601 and was baptised August 16, 1601 [Note this has been proven incorrect see Great Migration Above]. He died at Salem, Massachuetts between October 12, 1682 and June 27, 1682. ( Although his birth year was given as 1604 in his oath of allegiance when sailing for America, one of Robert's descendants has verified the church baptisimal record as 1601.)
    He married (1) in England about 1628/9, Catherine Kilham of Denningham, Suffolk, England, who was born about 1606, and died at Salem, 1645. He married (2) , probably at Salem, 1647, Margaret Lazenby of Exeter, N. H. with whom he entered into an agreement whereby he promised to settle on her twelve acres of land, " a new dwelling house which I doe intend, God welling, shortly to build and two cowes & a horse or mare fitt for her to ride on." After her death this property was to go to his son Jacob.
    The "Elizabeth" left Ipswich, England, April 30, 1634 and landed, most likely at Salem where the first record of the Goodells in America indicated that they settled at Great Cove in the North Fields. The Spring, so often mentioned in the early records,in what was later called Liberty Hill Park, was on Robert Goodell's farm and was known for the first half century of Salem's history as Goodell's Spring. It is not recorded how he acquired this first farm. However, in 1636 and in 1638 he received grants of twenty acres each in that portion of the town which became known as Salem Village, and he gradually acquired by purchase similar grants made to other early settlers, until by 1651, he was the owner of a tract of land at Bald Hill comprising four hundred and eighty acres, which was confirmed to him by a town grant on November 7, 1651. He probably moved to this new property at about that time, and, as opportunity offered, disposed of his Great Cove farm, deeding the house and a portion of the land to his son-in-law, John Smith in 1658. Another lot was conveyed to Nicholas Manning in 1667, and a third conveyance was probably made to John Orne, who owned a part of the property, hitherto unconveyed in 1684.
