THE GOODWIN FAMILIES IN AMERICA. 37

Lieut. John Goodwin resided in South Carolina. He served in First S. C. Reg. July 12, 1778; taken prisoner at Charleston May 12, 1780. Perhaps this is the John Goodwyn who married his cousin Keziah.

Capt. Robert S. Goodwin resided in South Carolina. He was appointed to his captainship of South Carolina Rangers June 17, 1775b, in the Thomson Regiment. General Lachlan McIntosh states in his journal for April 26, 1780, that Captain Robert Goodwin was on that day killed in the seige of Charlestown. (See History of Orangebutrg County, by A. S. Sally, Jr.) I think this man was a brother of John and son of Captain Robert Goodwin unless, indeed, he is Captain Robert himself, brother of William, which does not seem likely.

Lewis Goodwin resided in South Carolina. He served in Ro- buck's Regiment, S. C., 1782. (See Rev. Alex. Gregg, D. D., His- tory of the 01(1 Cheraws.)

Britain Goodwin resided in South Carolina. He served in Ro- buck's Regiment in South Carolina in 1782.

David Goodwin resided in South Carolina. He served in Ro- buck's Regiment of South Carolina in 1782. I think this is the David Goodwin, of White county, Tenn., who lived in St. David's Parish, S. C., otherwise known as the Pee Dee Section, and that Lewis, David and Britain were brothers.

CHARLESTON, S. C., AND WHITE CO., TENN., G OODWINS.

Dav~id Goodwini was born in 1762 and his descendants insist that he was a native of Scotland. His earliest known residence was near Charleston, S. C., but he appears to have removed to the Pee Dee Section, perhaps in Marion county, where he was living when he enlisted in the Revolutionary war. I am inclined to think that lie is the David Goodwin who served in Robuck's Reg- imen in 1782 with Lewis and Britain Goodwin. I have no proof on which to base the assumption, but I am inclined to think that David, Lewis, Britain, Capt. Robert S. and perhaps Lieut. John Goodwill were barothers, or at least closely -elated, and that they descend from the unknown brother of William and Robert Good- wyn, who came from Dinwiddie county, Va.

However this niay be, David Goodwin settled in White county, Tenn., after the Revoliitionary war. HIe was pensioned in 1833, being then seventy-one years of age. I cannot learn the name

Robert Goodwin resided in South Carolina, probably in or near Greenville. I can get absolutely no information concerning his ancestry, but the Howard and the Griffith families, with which his descendants intermarried, came from iMaryland to Soulth Caro- lina, and perhaps Robert camne from that State. Ile was born aboiut I7z30, anid was a farmer and miller. He died in South Carolina. It is thought that he had still another son who re- mained in South Caroliia.

* Mr. G. N. Hobbs writes, while visiting in Greenville, S. C., that this town was the home of the Goodwins, and that the name was also spelled Goodwyn; that Edward Howard, father of Susannah, died there, and that Goodwin's mills are still known in the county. HIe also finds court records (Mlay 7, 1792) of Joseph Goodwin and Frances his wife. I cannot yet " place" Joseph, unless he was the son who remained in South Carolina.
