DANIEL W. GOODSELL. 



The subject of this sketch was born in Cambridge, Wash- 

 ington Co., N. Y., May 14, 1788. His father, Jacob, and 

 mother, Phebe, were natives of Litchfield Co., Conn., and soon 

 after their marriage settled in Washington Co., N. Y. Of this 

 union twelve children were born, of whom Daniel W. was the 

 second child and oldest son. The ancestors of Daniel W. were 

 of English origin, and settled in America previous to the Rev- 

 olutionary war. 



Daniel W. was reared a farmer, which honorable calling he 

 followed until advanced age compelled him to give it up. As a 

 farmer he has been successful. In the winter of 1802 he 

 settled in Westmoreland, Oneida Co., N. Y., in company with 

 his parents and family. 



He married Miss Dinah Barker, daughter of Lawton and 

 Hannah Cushman Barker, Oct. 8, 1812. Lawton Barker was 

 born in Rhode Island, April 5, 1772 ; married Miss Hannah 

 Cushman, September, 1794. She was born at Dartmouth, 

 Mass., April 7, 1773. Of this union seven children were born, 

 one son and six daughters, of whom Dinah Barker is the eldest. 

 She was born Oct. 4, 1795, at Cambridge, Washington Co., 

 N. Y. As the result of this happy alliance eight children have 

 been born, viz. : Phebe, Hannah, George, Samuel, Albert, Mary, 

 William, and Nelson, all of whom still live, save Mary. 



Mr. and Mrs. Goodsell resided one year in Oneida County 

 after their marriage, then removed to Choconut, Susquehanna 

 Co., Pa. ; remained some six or seven years, and in April, 1820, 

 settled in Hornby, on a farm near where they now reside. Mr. 



and Mrs. Goodsell's eldest child was born in Oneida County, 

 the next three in Pennsylvania, and the remainder in Hornby. 



Mr. Goodsell has been a farmer by occupation. In politics, 

 formerly a Jeffersonian Democrat, but later in life a Republican. 

 He has held the office of assessor of Hornby. Mr. Goodsell 

 united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1828, and 

 Mrs. Goodsell with the Baptists in 1823. 



In 1869, Mrs. Goodsell received an injury which compelled 

 them to give up the old farm and live with their daughter Han- 

 nah, who married Levi Coye. Mr. Coye is a native of Auburn, 

 N. Y., and settled in Hornby, when but eleven years of age, 

 with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Goodsell are now far advanced 

 in life, having lived longer together than any other couple we 

 know of in the county. More than sixty-six years ago they 

 commenced life's journey together, and Mrs. Goodsell is as 

 smart as ever, save her lameness, but age has made its mark on 

 Mr. Goodsell. 



They have reared a family who are respected. Mr. Goodsell 

 was never absent from home more than four weeks at any one 

 time.

 Goodsell, Oct. 11, 1838. Of this union four children were 

 born, viz. : Minerva 0., Alva D. and Alice (twins), and Emma 

 A. Mr. and Mrs. Coye are members of the Methodist Episco- 

 pal Church of Hornby, and have been for many years. In 

 politics, formerly a Whig, and then Republican. . Mr. Coye is-
