Early Goodmans of America
Indiana
A Bartlett Goodman was in Greene Co, IN, in the 1840 and 1850 census. In 1840, he was aged 50-60. He may have been the son of the Bartelott Goodman who gave away his daughter in Bedford Co., VA in 1788, and the grandson of the Bartelott Goodman of Louisa Co., who was a VA Ranger in 1756. On the same census page in 1840, and also in Greene Co., IN, are James Goodman, John Goodman, and William Wesley Goodman.
The following are from Dubois IN, 1850 census, courtesy of Lonnie Fink, via Internet mail, and probably indicate a strong connection to the Powel / Powell families of Denbigh Wales, and later VA, as mentioned previously:
