Biography

Margaret was born in 1752,[1] the same year as another Catherine (Thomas) Ross (abt.1752-abt.1811), who was a daughter of Enos Thomas, and who married David Ross (1742-1803) in 1770.

It is possible that Catherine had a second marriage, but notably, David Ross died not die until 1803. The more likely scenario is that the subject of this profile was the daughter of a different Enos Thomas.

The Margaret Catherine (Thomas) Goodwin of this profile has no proven connection to Enos Thomas, except that a son was named Enos Goodwin (1789-1861). She reportedly married Joseph Robert Goodwin in 1778.[citation needed] The son named Enos (1789-1861) was born to Mary Goodwin and Joseph Goodwin.[2]

FamilySearch claims several more children:[1]

  1. Jesse Goodwin (1787-1863)
  2. Enos Goodwin (1789-1861)
  3. Joseph Robert Goodwin (1791-1861)
  4. David Goodwin (1793-1856)

She died in 1820.

Catherine Thomas, daughter of Enos Thomas (who died before the marriage date) of Frederick County, Colony of Virginia, married 20th day, 12th month, 1770 at Hopewell David Ross (son of John Ross).

Thus, it probably is best to remove this daughter as a daughter of Enos Thomas. If your source citation, which I cannot reproduce, does show Enos' daughter also married a Goodwin, that would be the only cause for leaving this person attached to this Enos.

I think she's being conflated with Enos and Rachel Thomas's daughter, Catherine (Thomas) Ross, for whom it is documented married, at Hopewell, David Ross.

That Catherine did not also use Margaret and that Catherine did not marry a Goodwin. It is recommended that this daughter be disconnected from the parents Enos and Rachel Thomas so that she can be correctly placed with her parents once they are found.
