History of Goddin Family

Source:
Genealogy of the GODDIN Family, by Arnetta Goddin Vaughan 

The Goddin line is traced back to England.  An uncommon name, it belonged to English Nobility of the 11th Century.  The 3 brothers comed to an island near Yorktown, Virginia; Edward, George and John about 1635. John Goddin died in 1720 at the age of 75 at Bruton Parish Church, Williamsburg, Virginia. Isham Goddin died on Oct. 1788 and is buried in the aisle of old Bruton Parish Church. 
The Richmond Enquirer obituary of John Goddin, (September 27, 1825, p.3); Died on 14th Inst. in James City Co., John Goddin, age 74, husband and father. He was a soldier with Lafayette at Yorktown. For 30 years was magistrate of James City Co. and had been High Sheriff.  Left wife and 19 children.

Isaack Goddin II was buried in the aisle of Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg, Virginia

Isham Goddin House, Williamsburg, Virginia:
Isham Goddin, a militiaman from nearby New Kent Co. before the Revolution, acquired this small house from his neighbor, David Morton, in 1778 for L200. Goddin later served on a committee concerned with the disposal of the property of Lord Dunmore, the British royal governor, who fled Williamsburg for the security of a man-of-war in 1775.  When Goddin returned to New Kent in 1783, he sold his plot and dwelling for only ninety pounds, reflecting the collapse in the value of real estate in Williamsburg when the capital was moved to Richmond.  A distinctive feature of the reconstructed house is its central chimney.  Privately occupied.
