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).
Descendants of Jonathan Gregory Kirkland, 1778–1837, and Eleanor (Ellen/Ellender) Warren, 1769–1855, can appear as DNA matches with our Golden family. This would be due to Eleanor Warren being the daughter of William (Charles William?) Warren, 1738–1807, and Eleanor “Nelly” Golden, 1745–1811.
