Short Biography

Thomas Jefferson Goodwin was born In Greasy Creek, Kentucky to Ebenezer Goodwin and Jane Fuson. In the 1860 census when he was 13 years old the family was living in Mercer County, Missouri and he remained there until about 1880 when he moved to Kansas. In the 1880 census for Rawlins County, Kansas he listed his occupation as "selling goods". He was marred to Mary Eveline Wiggins on the 17th of February 1870 in Mercer County, Missouri. They had 4 children and the marriage must have ended in divorce because Tom and Mary both remarried. On June 4, 1882 he married Louella May "Ella" Dimmick in Rawlins County, Kansas. Ella and Thomas had 7 more children. Their first child was born in Oklahoma City in 1883 so they moved to Oklahoma shorty after their marriage. It appears that Ella and Thomas divorced before 1918. In the 1920 census Thomas and two sons, Ellis and Arthur, still live in Choctaw, Oklahoma. Thomas died the next year. He was a member of the Kansas, Grand Army of the Republic. He served his county in the Missouri Cavalry as a volunteer during the Civil War as a Commissary Sergeant for Company E Reg. 12. Ella married Charles Edgar Flemming n 1918 in Cooke County, Texas and they moved to Placer, California with sons, Glen and Albert Goodwin. She died there in 1925.

Note: Imagine my surprise when I see that my 1st cousin twice removed also lived with Ella and sons in Placer, California in the 1920 census. - Alison Land
