Biography

Edward Goddard was born in Wiltshire, England.

Birth and Parents

Edward Goddard, Gent. was the son of Richard Goddard, Esq. and Elizabeth Walrond. He was probably born in Wiltshire, where his father had lands at Upper Upham and Swindon.^[1][2][3] He matriculated at University College, Oxford on 30 April 1601 at the age of 17, pointing to a birth date of about 1584.^[4][5] Frederick Crisp's annotated version of the pedigree in the Wiltshire Visitation of 1623 adds that he was baptised at Inglesham, Wiltshire on 15 October 1590.^[4]

Marriage and Children

Edward married Priscilla Doyley, daughter of John Doyley^[3] and Ursula Cope, at Stadhampton, Oxfordshire on 12 August 1612. Richardson gives the day as 13 August,^[1][2] but the image of the parish register of Stadhampton (or Stadhampton with Chislehurst) on Ancestry could possibly be read as 12 August.^[6] They had the following children:

• John,^[1][2][4] born about 1614 (age 9 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3])
• James,^[1][2][4] born about 1615 (age 8 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3])
• Francis,^[1][2][4] born about 1616 (age 7 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3]): Alumni Oxonienses says he matriculated, age 20, at Magdalen College, Oxford on 2 March 1631/2^[5] but this is clearly a mistake as his parents did not marry until 1612 - Crisp's annotation to the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation gives his age at matriculation in March 1631/2 as 16^[4])
• Elizabeth,^[1][2][4] born about 1617 (age 6 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3])
• Priscilla,^[1][2][4] who was born about 1618 (age 5 at the 1623 Visitation^[3]) and who married Obadiah Sedgwick^[4][7] (Douglas Richardson wrongly names her husband as Richard King, who married Priscilla's sister Martha)^[1][2]
• Elizabeth,^[1][2][4] born about 1617 (age 5 at the 1623 Visitation^[3])
• Martha,^[1][2][4] who was born about 1619 (age 4 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3]) and married Richard King (see her profile for sourcing for her husband)
• Thomas,^[1][2][4] born about 1620 (age 3 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3])
• Edward,^[1][2] born about 1622 (age 1 at the 1623 Wiltshire Visitation^[3]) - though Alumni Oxonienses says he matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford at the age of 15 on 12 July 1639^[4][5]
• Richard (not named by Douglas Richardson), baptised at Inglesham, Wiltshire on 3 June 1625 with his parents named as Edward and "Prisella"^[4][8][9]
• William,^[1][2] baptised at Inglesham, Wiltshire on 28 February 1627/8^[4]
• Josiah/Josias (not named by Douglas Richardson), baptised at Inglesham, Wiltshire on 30 March 1630, with his parents named as Edward and Priscilla^[4][10][11]
• Benjamin (not named by Douglas Richardson), baptised at Inglesham, Wiltshire on 20 March 1631/2 (1632 in modern reckoning), with his parents named as Edward and Priscilla^[4][12][13]
• Vincent (not named by Douglas Richardson), baptised at Aldbourne, Wiltshire on 26 May 1639, with his parents named as Edward, Gent., and Priscilla or "Pres";^[14][15] the 1642 will of another Vincent Goddard, of Ogbourne St Andrew, Wiltshire, leaves £10 to a Vincent, son of his cousin Edward Goddard of Upham, to be paid to Edward^[16]

Lands

Edward had property at Lower Upham, Wiltshire.^[1][2] In 1614 he inherited lands at Lambourne, Berkshire from his father^[1][2] and his son John was bequeathed £20.^[17]

In 1624 Edward and his brother Thomas sued Christopher Hurlebert over property in Marston and Chiseldon, Wiltshire.^[18]

English Civil War

The Fulham Genealogy^[19] cites A Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Goddard by William Austin Goddard (1833)^[20] as stating that Edward was "once very wealthy, but afterwards much reduced by oppression during the civil war. He belonged on the Parliament side, his house was beset and demolished by a company of cavaliers, who also plundered his substance. He escaped through the midst of them in disguise, but died soon after."^[19]

Death

Edward died before 12 August 1647, when administration of his estate was granted to his son John. His wife survived him and was buried at Box, Wiltshire on 15 June 1681.^[1][2][4]

Research Notes

William Austin Goddard in his 1833 book mistakenly says that Edward was of Norfolk.^[20]
