  • https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Window-62 Richard Window was from Brampton, Oxfordshire, England. At least one family genealogy states he was born there on March 16, 1622.[1] It is said that Richard had married in England to a widow whose name is Unknown, on July 22, 1643, but he left her behind when he emigrated to Gloucester, Essex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, New England in about 1645.[2] She had a son, born in England, from a previous marriage by the name of Richard Goodwin, born about 1641, most-likely in Oxfordshire.[3]On February 21, 1648, Richard reported her dead from Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts Bay. It's very doubtful she ever left England

  • “Richard Goodwin and Bridget Fitts.” Posted: 30 Apr 2018 12:30 PM Classification: Query < link > Torrey states that Richard Window had a first wife in England; that his second wife was Elinor who was the widow of a man named Bennett, by whom she had two children mentioned in Richard Window's will as Anthony and Elizabeth. I speculate, and wonder if I can get some responses, that Elinor's first husband might have been a Goodwin (perhaps even a Richard Goodwin) by whom she had a son named Richard. Then Richard Window's will makes sense, as he first mentions his daughter Ann, then Richard, who had been raised by him as a son, and then the two Bennett children. As further support, the list of Richard Goodwin's children by Hannah Jones includes a daughter named Elinor (perhaps to honor his deceased mother?). I have not found immigration records to support the arrival of any of these folks from England to America. I welcome any thoughts fellow Goodwin researchers might wish to share.
