    Origins

    Great Migration Begins lists William's origins as Braintree, Essex, but does not identify a birth or christening or the parents of him and his brother Ozias. It does note that significant research has been done on the topic, but the books mentioned do not identify William's parents.[1]

      ORIGIN: Braintree, Essex.
      MIGRATION: 1632 on Lyon [Hotten 150]
      CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: William Goodwin was a sidesman of the church at Braintree, Essex, in 1622, and churchwarden in 1630 and 1631 [Goodwin Papers 2:1171-73]. On 25 June 1632 (and repeated on 16 July 1632 and 4 August 1632) William Goodwin was presented at the Commissary Court of Essex and Herts for "not receiving the Holy Communion at Easter nor since in his parish church" [Goodwin Papers 2:1175-77]. … Admission to a Massachusetts Bay church, presumably Watertown, prior to 6 November 1632 implied by freemanship. He must soon have transferred his membership to the Cambridge church, and became elder of that church …
      FREEMAN: 6 November 1632 [MBCR 1:367].
