GOODNOW, George, s. W[illia]m and Hepsibeth, [born] Apr. 29, 1799.
[Note: the town clerk must have erred in recorded the mother's name. First wife Hepsibeth died before 1783 when William married his second wife Mary, who survived him, administrating on his estate (Cheshire Probate G76), so any child born in 1799 would belong to Mary. Also, the year of birth seems confirmed by the age of death on his gravestone, ruling out a birth in 1779, misrecorded as 1799, which would have been consistent with mother Hepsibeth.]
