Collected notes on the family of Thomas Golden who settled at Newberry, South Carolina by 1761, if not a year or two earlier. Wife’s and children’s names are unknown … but DNA creates a path back in time as to Thomas’s origins and family associations. Multiple males branches descending from Thomas Golden are yDNA Y700 tested.
Several of our Golden lines that branched between 1770-1790 have DNA matches with descendants of the Godden family of southeastern England in the Kent area.
How to share your Golden descendant DNA so more can be learned about our family history before 1800.
Thomas Godwin (Bridger), born c1640 at New Kent, New Kent, Virginia; Death 27 May 1713-1714 at Suffolk, Nansemond, Virginia. Multiple DNA matches link two lines of our Goldens with Thomas Godwin’s descendants, which are themselves named Godwin. DNA matches exist with male descendants of Nathanael Greene Golden (b1783) and Samuel Golden (b1770 SC).
A Christopher Goold supposedly sailed on the Seven Sisters in the 1650s. Am in search of this ship, its travels, and passenger lists in the hope to confirm if Christopher Goold could be Christopher Goulding.
