Goodfellows Were from Ireland
Goodfellows Were From Ireland
I just received the portions of the Burwell/Tate papers I requested from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. It includes several pictures (most are unidentified); the booklet from the Burwell Family picnic in 1870 at Burwell Farms in Connecticut; Mary Alice Burwell's DAR application; Moses and Isabella's marriage certificate; obituaries for: Moses, Isabella, Nettie, Lydia Wilson (Isabella's sister) and William Wilson (Lydia's husband); and various genealogy notes.
Isabella Goodfellow's grandfather was Moore Goodfellow (married to Isabella or Isabel Nichelson) born about 1779 in the County of Tyrone, Ireland. He came to America in about 1804, first settling in Maryland. After a few years he moved to Ohio where he died on September 11, 1860. Mom found on the Internet a Moore Goodfellow in the War of 1812 Muster Rolls.
