Thomas Goodwin came to this country about 1708 to avoid persecution in North Wales, his home having been at Llandewi Brefi, in Cardiganshire. He presented his certificate of membership to Chester Monthly Meeting, February 28, 1709. John, the oldest of his children, remained in North Wales. Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas, to whom he was married in Wales, born in 1652, died 9 Nov 1739, in her 87th year. He settled, after arriving in Pennsylvania, first in Edgmont township, Delaware county, on land lately owned by Everett Passmore. The Chester Meeting records call him "Thomas of Concord," and also "Thomas of Edgmont." He was taxed in Middletown in 1715 and 1725.
