Biography
Anne was born about 1609 (age at death)[1] in England and married Edmund Goodenow by about 1634 (based on birth of first child). Her parents and exact place of birth are unknown.[2][3][4]
Immigration
As Anne Goodenowe, the wife of "Edmvnd Goodenowe of Dunhead in Wilsheire, Husbandman," she was enrolled for passage at Southampton, 24 April 1638, on the ship Confidence, [5] Also enrolled were "sonns 4 yeares and vnder," John and Thomas, and Richard Sangar, Edmund's "seruant," age 18.
At Massachusetts Bay
Anne Goodenow died Sudbury, Massachusetts, 9 March 1675/6, aged 67.[1][6] She is buried in North Cemetery, Wayland, Middlesex County, Massachusetts.[7][1]
Family

- John Goodenow (1635 - 1721)
- Thomas Goodenow (1637 - 1663)
- Hannah Goodenow Pendleton (1639 - 1688)

Research Notes
Disputed Parents: There is no credible proof that she was the daughter of John Barry and Margaret Ward. Her supposed baptism (see below) took place in Oxfordshire to parents that were from Wiltshire. Another narrative says she is from Berkshire and married in Sudbury, England. This entire genealogy is fabricated and has been passed on in unsourced family trees and The Millennium File. Her maiden name is Unknown.
New England Marriages prior to 1700. Goodenow-_____ 1634 marriage (England); she is "Anne/Hannah? _____. Works consulted as "{Reg. 86:344; Rice-Cottrell 27; Babcock Anc. 51; Dillon Anc. 44, 53; Pendleton 37; Fulton Anc. 584; Bruce Anc. 28-29, 77; Brown (,1) 93; Utah Gen. Mag. 20:109; Bent Anc. 61; Brady Anc. 196."[8]
Fictional Narrative. Anne Hannah BARRY was born in 1608 in Wilts, England[9], daughter of John Barry. She was christened on 18 Apr 1609 in Shrivenham, Berks, England. (If she was born in Wiltshire, why was she christened in Berkshire?)
She was married to Edmond (Edmund) GOODENOW Capt in 1634 in Sudbury, England.[10]
(If they were from Wiltshire, why were they married in Sudbury, which is in Suffolk?)
The couple had 5 children. One of the sons was John Goodenow, Capt, who was born in 1635 in Dunhead, St. Andrew, Wilts, England. Came in the ship "Confidence" with father, as infant. He was apparently like his father, an active member in early Sudbury affairs. He and others built a saw mill there. He was also Captain in the militia. He died on 6 Aug 1721 in Sudbury, Middlesex, MA.[11]
Notes about Anne Barry/Berry.
There is reportedly a baptismal record, Shrivenham, Oxfordshire, England, for one Anne Barry, 18 April 1609, daughter of John and Margaret (Ward) Barry.
There is reportedly a baptismal record, Calne, Wiltshire, England, for one Anne Burrye, 7 January 1609; father as Thomas Burrye. Reference for this given as "Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre; Chippenham, Wiltshire, England; Wiltshire Church of England Parish Registers; Reference Number: 2083/1 Image 369"; by subscription, see Ancestry.com.
There is a baptism record for Ann, daughter of John Berry, as 1 February 1627, in Chippenham St Andrew, Wiltshire, England. Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812, By subscription, see Ancestry.com.

Barry-5940 and Unknown-570912 appear to represent the same person because: I'm proposing this merge because they are intended to be the same person. But perhaps the Barry profile should be converted Ann Barry of England and note there is no evidence that she is the wife of Edmund Goodenow?
Regarding the May 2022 activity on this profile, I notice that the findagrave memorial asserts a last name of Barry and specific parentage with no proof. The marker in the photo is certainly not from 1675 but was added some time later (and does not assert a last name). As described on the PGM-managed profile of Edmund Goodenow-64 and his wife Ann Unknown-570912 her last name at birth is not proven and what sites on the internet do assert a last name, provide contradictory and/or nonsensical information.

Anne's maiden name was listed as Berry, according to her child Thomas Goodenow's baptism record. Please see Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 [1]. It lists "Thomas Goodenow, baptism date 26 Nov 1637 in Donhead St Andrew, Wiltshire, England; father Edmond Goodenow, mother Anne Goodenow."
Surely this suffices to confirm Edmund's wife's name.
Now, how can we add her maiden name to her profile page?
I am not seeing her maiden name as Berry in Thomas' baptism record; I just see Edmund Goodenow and Anne, his wife. Perhaps I am missing seeing something... where do you see Berry in the baptism record?
You are correct; the surname Barry is not in Thomas's baptism record; my error. It exists in Anne's and Edmund's marriage record, the "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900": "Edmund Goodenow born 1612 in England + Anne Berry born 1608; married 1633"; [1] . Unfortunately, some folks do not credit this source as valid.
It's not that "some folks" do not credit this source as valid. Ancestry.com defines it as this:
"...were extracted from family group sheets, electronic databases, biographies, wills, and other sources."
That's it. Family group sheets are created by individuals researching their family tree, and many have no source other than family legend, or a book that was wrong, or something they saw on the internet. Biographies? Researched by whom? Peer-reviewed by whom? Vetted by whom? Listing their own sources like Torrey or Anderson? "Other Sources"? Really?
This and several similar aggregations can be seen as hints, or possibilities, but you cannot in good conscience call them a reliable source by themselves. I'm not trying to be unpleasant, but if we keep plastering data across wikitree based on these aggregations without knowing what the real "source" was, we are not doing anybody any favors.

Sandy, regarding "U.S. and International Marriage Records" from ancestry.com as a source (referring to the message you sent), this is not considered a "source" since it is an auto-aggregated database of user submissions, many of which come from completely unsourced family trees. Unfortunately ancestry and familysearch have several of these types of repositories. As a rule of thumb, if you can't see the real source like a parish register or town clerk recorded vital record, it's to be treated very cautiously and not as a primary source. Hopefully we will find actual evidence of Anne's maiden name at some point.

Unless there is an objection, I plan to updated this profile a wee bit.
I will organized the narrative into standard PGM sections/subsections. I will add details to a few sources. I will add to the baptismal details shared recently by Beryl to Research Notes.
--Gene
Edited to add: Have completed this brief work.
What is the relevance of the newly added 1627 English baptismal record to the profile of this Ann, the wife of Edmund Goodenow?
- A baptism record for Ann, daughter of John Berry, lists her baptism date as 1 Feb 1627, in Chippenham St Andrew, Wiltshire, England. Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812, [1]
(I have moved the item entry from "Disputed Parents" to "Research Notes.")
Gene, the ancestry citation links to an image of the parish's original (handwritten) register, and does list an Anne Berry being baptized 1 Feb 1627 (father: John Berry) at Chippenham, St Andrew, Philmore Ecclesiastical Parish. That does not, however, prove she was the Anne who later married Edmund.
Hi Jen,
Thank you. I didn't doubt the baptism was of an Anne, daughter of John.
Rather, presuming this child was baptized close to birth, then she would have been, give or take, six or seven years of age at the time Edmund married (about 1633).
Thank you.--Gene
The marriage date was changed to "1633" and a "see also source" as an English record or record group at Ancestry.com (paywall) was also added to Edmund's profile, "U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900."
The link added is http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=WorldMarr_ga&h=478351&indiv=try
Might someone with access to that particular record or record group provide more detail -- what does the record actually say.
Thank you.--Gene

Hi,
Repeating the request here from last year that Ann's last name at birth be changed to Unknown. This is one of the profile's in this week's challenge: See: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1218118/wikitree-challenge-18-scott-fisher
So, this is a good opportunity to update everything to be as accurate as possible. If more information comes to light, we can always change the name.
Thanks!
Thanks again.
Have referenced your comment, and that made by Alan in 2020, in comment on Edmund's profile.
Please change her maiden name to Unknown. There is no credible proof that her maiden name was Barry. Her entire genealogy seem to be a confusion of several different people. Thank you.
