I discovered a long overlooked record in Goldington, Bedfordshire, England, that tends to indicate that this Benjamin Goodman, christened in Southill, Bedfordshire England on May 12, 1639, and previously believed to be the one "of St. Katherine's" later ordered transported to Barbados, was a common laborer still residing in Goldington in 1677/78, re:

"Barford Hundred HSA/1678 W/12 1678
Contents:
Barford Hundred: Bedford Assizes, 7 March 1677/8
...
Goldington: Robt Knott & Tho Moakes present John Curtice husbandman, Benjamin Goodman labourer, and Robt Bills for not coming to church 2 Sundayes last past
..."

Therefore, based on this record, the Benjamin Goodman of Southill, and later of Goldington, could NOT have been the same one ordered transported to Barbados in 1672. His presumed son, the Benjamin Goodman christened in Goldington on 5 March 1662, also could NOT have been the one ordered transported to Barbados, as he was only 10 years old in 1772. The son Benjamin could have come to the colonies with his father sometime after 1677/78, or on his own after he turned 18, so about 1680 or later. This is within the realm of possibility, but cannot be proved by anything that has been found to date.

So, the long held and oft published presumed ancestry of the Benjamin Goodman who was in New Kent County VA by 1701 is highly suspect and should not be relied upon without additional evidence.
