”I am descended from Col. Thomas Godwin of Nansemond. Over the years, a good deal of confusion has been caused by an error in Boddie’s Isle of Wight book — his account has William Godwin (Thomas II, Thomas I) marrying Ann Pitt. In fact, this William married Elizabeth Wright (there was another William, who did marry Ann Pitt, but that’s a different line).”

Note: N544 ! Notes from Internet site of Milner-Melia Family History ! In some genealogies, Elizabeth Wright is mentioned as wife of William Godwin, the son of Thomas Godwin II and Martha Bridger. However, we are dealing with a different William Godwin. Thomas Godwin II and Marfth Bridger were married in about 1679. William Godwin and Elizabeth Wright were married before September 6, 1666. Elizabeth Wright received her inheritance on that date, and it was signed for by her husband William Goodwyn. !
