1st Generation (Parents): Ozias Goodwin (~1729 - 1789) & Mary Steele (1729 - 1791). Mary Steel was the aunt of Hepsibah Steele who was the wife of George Collier (1793 - 1864)
2nd Generation (Grandparents): Ozias Goodwin (1689 - 1776) & Martha Williamson (1700 - 1777).
3rd Generation (Great Grandparents): Nathaniel Goodwin (1637 - 1714) & Elizabeth Pratt.
4th Generation (2X Grandparents): Ozias Goodwin (1596 - 1683) & Mary Woodward. Ozias Goodwin was born in County Essex, England, in 1596. He married Mary Woodward, the daughter of Robert Woodward, of Braintree, County Essex, about 1628. Their son William was born in 1629 and came with his parents to Boston in 1632. Ozias' brother William Goodwin and his family came with Ozias on the 1632 voyage of the Lion and his story follows this family.
The Goodwins all went to Newtown in 1632 and then went to Hartford in 1636, where both brothers were original proprietors. When Reverend Thomas Hooker died and there was a split in the First Church in Hartford, many parishioners moved up the Connecticut River Valley, some to establish Hadley, Massachusetts. Ozias signed an agreement with the others on Apr 18, 1659, to move with them. However, when his brother William, Elder John White and others went, he stayed in Hartford, where he spent the rest of his life.
Ozias and Mary had their second child, Nathaniel, in Hartford in 1637 and then a daughter names Hannah was born there in 1639. Ozias was made a Freeman in 1669 and he died in the spring of 1683. The inventory of his estate was taken 3 April 1683. Unlike his brother William, he had kept a low profile in the community and did not seem to be involved in town, church or military affairs. The name of Goodwin was prominent in Hartford and the surrounding area, originating with Ozias.

GRAHAM, SR., DEAD // Passed Away at His Home This Morning. // Was Stricken With Paralysis a Week Ago and Could Not Rally - Was a Resident of This City for a Great Many Years - The Sketch of his Life. // The life of Freeman Graham, Sr., passed out at fifteen minutes past 7 o'clock this morning and with his passing there disappears from Rockford one of its old and honored inhabitants and patriarch of the Graham family in this section.
Mr. Graham was stricken with paralysis a week ago while walking in front of Porter's Drug Store and since that time his death has been but a question of days and hours. The best of medical care could do nothing for him, and he sank steadily until his death this morning. On Sunday morning he relapsed into an unconscious condition and remained so until he died.
His death takes from the city a man who has been identified with business here for many years, and though far advanced in life he was still warm in the hearts of those who had known him in his strong prime and his demise will cause in their hearts a deep sense of loss.
Sketch of His Life. // Hon. Freeman Graham was born in Simsbury, Hartford county, Conn., Oct. 11, 1806. His boyhood days were passed in this native place, where he received a common school education, and served an apprenticeship of seven years in making cotton and woolen machines, becoming a practical machinist. In 1854 he came west, entered the employ of Charles Walker, of Chicago, and took charge of his iron works in Beloit, Wis., where he remained for two years.
Comes to Rockford. // Receiving an offer of a larger salary, Mr. Graham came to Rockford and entered the employee of Mr. Emerson. He became sole manager of the well known firm of Emerson, Talcott & Co., manufacturers of farm implements and in that responsible position was widely known as an enterprising and progressive business man.

Mrs. Julia Graham, wife of Hon. Freeman Graham, died at 3:05 a.m. Monday, after a sickness of nearly a year's duration. Last June she fell and fractured her hip, and while it was then considered doubtful, owing to her advanced age, if she could recover, her splendid constitution gave promise of enabling her to do so, but while convalescing from that accident she was taken with the grippe. This was a couple of months ago, and from that time she failed quite rapidly. Her death, while expected, was a severe blow to the family and friends.

The survivors are Byron, Freeman, Jr., Julius and David, all well known and prominent citizens of Rockford, and Julia, wife of Henry Warner, of Rock Island.
The deceased was a king hearted woman, esteemed by all who knew her. She possessed a rare mental poise, which enabled her to move serenely through life, and add to the happiness of those around her.
