At the head of the founders of the First Congregational Church in South Berwick, Maine, June 4, 1702, is the name Daniel Goodwin. He was appointed Deacon, then Ruling Elder August 27, 1724 and September 5th following was ordained. He was a surveyor, an inn keeper and a large land holder.
Libby, Noyes and Davis note that Daniel Goodwin long kept a public house, with and without license, at times with considerable disorder which brought him into court, but he found time to give to town affairs. He was town commissioner and Sergeant, 1659, constable, 1662-63 and served on a coroner’s jury, 1668, grand jury, 1659, 1678. In December 1711, with his wife Sarah, he deeded property to his son Thomas in return for his support.
