    Notes:

    Name:
    The most accurate information that we have of Capt. David Godfrey is from a brief sketch of his life, written by his grandson, George Porter Godfrey, and read before a reunion of the Godfrey Family Association in Michigan at their first meeting in 1887: "...He and his brother, with ten or twelve other families emigrated from Cape Cod to Nova Scotia soon after the close of the French and Indian War in consequence of land bounties and other privileges offered by the king of England. there he lost his first wife and married our grandmother, Elizabeth Harris. Following this, he, and a part of the families who had accompanied him, abandoned their land and in 1769, procured an old sloop and turned its prow toward the Colonies. In his youth he was a sailor and made fourteen voyages to the west Indies and several to South America---how many as Captain we have no means of ascertaining..." Capt. David settled near what is now the town of Otisville where he built a house which is still standing in a good state of preservation.

    David Godfrey was a soldier in the Continental Army, serving as a Private in Capt. Abraham Cuddeback's Company, Col. James McClaghery's 2nd Regiment of Ulster County Milita. On Aug. 17, 1790, he was included in a large group of men several of whom were Revolutionary soldiers, who, by right of occupancy, were granted a 7000-acre tract of land in the town of Mamakating, ulster county. A Survey return, dated Sept. 10, 1791, lists him as one of the group owning 200 acres.

    The records of the OldSchool Baptist Church show that Elizabeth Godfrey was one of the original constituent members when it was organized in 1785.

    Notes:

    Name:
    Elijah Godfrey lived in the vicinity of Bloomingburg until 1826 when he moved to Stafford, Genessee Co., N.Y. For the next quarter century his activities centered here and in Batavia, N.Y., where he built a flour mill, the foundations of which are still standing. The old millstone can still be seen and the place is known as Godfrey's Pond. About 1850, he and his wife removed to southern Michigan where the majority of his family had settled.

    Elijah's family all showed strong mental ability to an unusual degree. to quote from a letter of one of his descendants: "One of the strongest characteristics of that earlier generation of Godfreys was a remarkable memory. Even to this day the 'Godfrey memory'[ is a classic allusion at all family gatherings. They were all great readers, especially fond of history and politics. the story is told of John King Godfrey, who, after a busy day in the field, would sit up all night reading the NEW YORK TRIBUNE, a candle in one hand and his paper in the other. Of course it was a weekly and he could not wait until the next day after its arrival to digest its contents from cover to cover."

    In 1887, Elijah Godfrey's children held a reunion which led to the formation of the Godfrey Family Association; annual meetings were held continuously until present war conditions interfered.

    Elijah married Catharine SLAWSON on 24 Sep 1807. Catharine (daughter of Nathan SLAWSON and Hannah SLASON) was born on 30 Mar 1791 in Salem, Westchester Co., New York; died on 30 Sep 1870 in Jackson County, Michigan; was buried in Campbell Cemetery, Parma, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    Name:
    Like his brother, William, he accompanied his father to Michigan in 1844, and likewise served in the Civil War in Co. A, 1st Mich. Reg. of Engineers; he was with Gen. Sherman on his memorable March to the Sea. After the war he settled in Parma where he conducted a hardware business for many years and was Postmaster under Pres. Harrison.

    Jasper R. Godfrey is a native of the state of New York, having been born in Genesee county, October 3, 1842, the son of John K. and Susan (Randall) Godfrey, the former a native of New York, and the latter of Vermont. They were married in New York and resided there a number of years before moving to Michigan. They located in Jackson county in 1844, upon a farm in Parma- township, which remained their home until their death. She died in December, 1871, at the age of fifty-three years, while his death occurred September 14, 1884, when in his seventieth year. They were the parents of eight children, five of whom are living: At~the time of his death John K. Godfrey was the owner of three hundred and twenty acres of valuable land, besides much personal property. All of his land had been cleared and improved, most of the work having been done by his own labor. In politics he was first a Whig, later a Republican, and though never aspiring to public place, he was elected and served as township treasurer and highway commissioner, each a number of years. In religion he was a Baptist and died in the faith and fellowship of that church. The paternal grandparents of the subject were Elijah and Catharine (Slauson) Godfrey, natives of New York, who came to Jackson county in the evening of their life to be near their children and grandchildren. Here they died many years ago, having endeared themselves, not only to their own people, but to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. The maternal grandfather of the subject was Noah Randall, a native of Vermont, where he was reared and educated. In middle life he moved to New York and there the remaining years of his life were spent.

    On his father's farm the early days of the life of Jasper R. Godfrey were occupied in the usual work assigned to youths in the rural districts. He attended the common schools of the neighborhood and profited so well by the instruction received that few of his age were better versed in all of the branches taught than he was when the end of his school days came. A careful survey of the situation convinced him that life on the farm furnished ample opportunity for the exercise of his talents and for eight years he devoted himself to the labors of an agriculturist. In 1874 he decided to embark on a mercantile career, and, accordingly, opened up a hardware and agricultural implement house in Parma. It proved to meet a long felt want, for it prospered from the beginning, its patronage increasing year by year. In 1900 pressing demand made it necessary for Mr. Godfrey to add a stock of groceries, the demands upon which have been great and persistent.

    During the administration of President Harrison Mr. Godfrey was commissioned postmaster of the village of Parma and discharged the duties of the office very efficiently until obliged to make room for a follower of the opposite political faith.

    The military career of Mr. Godfrey is brief; but it was quite interesting and most worthy. In August, 1864, he enlisted in Company A, First Regiment Michigan Engineers and Mechanics. The regiment was one that had already seen much service, so there was little delay in getting it to the enemy's country. Although out only ten, months from the time Mr. Godfrey became a member of it, the regiment saw much service and was in many trying positions. It was with Sherman on the memorable march through Georgia to the sea, and also through the Carolinas to Washington, D. C. The regiment were between Raleigh and Golds- boro at the time of the surrender of General Lee. The subject estimates that they traveled on foot more than fourteen hundred miles, stopping frequently to exchange compliments with the enemy through the muzzles of their muskets.

    On the 15th day of December, 1865, J. R. Godfrey was united in marriage to Miss Helen Chapel, a native of Michigan, born in 1846. Her parents were Lorenzo Dowe and Margaret (Clapp) Chapel, who were among the early pioneer settlers of Jackson county. To Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey three children were born, viz: John D. died at five years of age; Edith C. and Irving J. On September 19, 1873, Mrs. Helen Godfrey departed this life, leaving to her bereaved husband the care of their two helpless little children, the oldest of whom was little more than six years, old. October 2f, 1875, Mr. Godfrey was again married, his bride on this occasion being Alice M. Dates, a native of Wisconsin. Her parents were John and (VanValin) Dates, natives of New York. This union has proved felicitous and congenial and the home life of the family is all that could be desired.

    In politics Mr. Godfrey is a Republican. He believes it to be the duty of every good citizen to interest himself actively in political affairs on behalf of good government and the public welfare. He is himself always active, particularly during political campaigns, and has frequently been a delegate to the county conventions of his party. To the office of township clerk he was elected, some years ago, qualified and served one term, and he was also a member of the board of education of the village of Parma eight years. He is a member of a number of fraternal societies, viz: Parma Lodge No. 183, Free and Accepted Masons, Ancient Order of United Workmen, Modern Woodmen of America, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Eastern Star and to Simon A. Downer Post No. 374, Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. Godfrey also belongs to the Eastern Star. Mr. Godfrey is a man of keen business foresight and good judgment, whose labors in the community redound greatly to the public good.
