Goodwin, Isaac, a prominent Elder in the Church, was born June 18, 1810, in
New Hartford, Connecticut, the son of IsaacGoodwin and Rhoda Richards. He was
a descendent of Ozias Goodwin, who came toAmerica from England and settled in
Connecticut in 1632. Isaac married Laura Hotchkiss Feb. 2, 1833, from which
union seven children were born (four boys and three girls), namely Isaac,
Lewis, Edwin A., Albert S., Emmerett. Nancy andLucinda. Becoming a convert to
the restored gospel, Isaac Goodwin and family were baptized in 1844. Two years
later, in company with other saints, they concluded to go west and took
passage at New York on the sailing vessel "Brooklyn," destined for California.
The ship sailed from New York Feb. 4, 1846, doubledCape Horn and arrived at
Yerba Buena, on the Bay of San Francisco, California, July 31, 1846, the
voyage consuming a little less than six months. At the beginning of the voyage
Mrs. Goodwin met with an accident and being in delicatehealth she never
recovered from the shock, but passed away May 6, 1846, shortly after the ship
had rounded Cape Horn. She was buried on Goat Island, one ofthe Juan
Fernandez group (Robinson Crusoe's famed islands). Bro. Goodwin and his family
lived for some time in San Francisco and later moved to San Bernardino, where
he met and married Mary Cox of New Haven, England, Dec. 22, 1855. She had
received the gospel Jan. 10, 1850, emigrated to America and accompanied
Charles C. Rich's company to California in 1851. She died childless Dec. 13,
1898, at Lehi, Utah. Isaac Goodwin, after living in San Bernardino for several
years, decided to move to Utah with his family. They traveled the so-called
"southern route," making a short stay in Utah's Dixie and other places and
finally became permanent settlers in Lehi, Utah county, in 1859. Isaac Goodwin
wasthe first to introduce alfalfa (lucerne) into Utah, the hay that has been
such an important factor in the Utah mountain region. He was elected mayor of
Lehi Feb. 13, 1865, was appointed to the same office Oct. 31, 1874 (to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of Wm. F. Winn), was again elected mayor
Feb.8, 1875, and filled the office with honor and fidelity on each occasion.
Bro.Goodwin held many other positions of trust, both secular and religious.
in 1872 he filled a short mission to the Eastern States. Beloved and respected
by all who knew him, he died at Lehi April 25, 1879, as a faithful Latter-day
Saint.
In 1860, Isaac had a household of 4, a real wealth of $400, and a personal
wealth of $900.
In 1870, he had a household of 3, a real wealth of $1100, anda personal
wealth of $800.
Isaac came to Utah in 1858. 2. He was said to be the first to introduce
lucern into Southern Utah.
Isaac was a descendent ofOzias Goodwin who came to America from England
and settled in Connecticut in1632. Isaac and his family were baptized in
1844, and two years later they concluded to go west and took passage at New
York on the sailing vessel "Brooklyn," destined for California. The ship
sailed from New York on February 4, 1846, doubled Cape Horn and arrived in
Yerba Bueana, on the Bay of San Francisco,California, July 31, 1846. The

Notes:
Laura Hotchkiss, daughter of Benjamin Hotchkiss and Elizabeth Tyrell,
became the wife of Mr. Goodwin and of this union seven children were born,
four boys and three girls: Isaac, Lewis, Edwin A., Albert S., Emmerett, Nancy
and Lucinda. Isaac early learned the mason trade at which he worked in New
Haven, Connecticut and neighboring towns before his conversion to Mormonism by
Elder ElishaDavis. By 1846, he was so thoroughly imbued with the Latter-day
Saint spirit,that when the call came to move west he sold his property for
almost nothing and, on February 4, 1846, at about the same time the Nauvoo
Saints were first ready to cross the plains, Isaac and family took passage on
the ship Brooklyn.These converts did not know exactly where they were going,
only that they wereto join the Saints from Nauvoo somewhere in the West.

Unfortunately, during a storm on this voyage, Isaac's wife, Laura, who was
an expectant mother, was thrown down a hatchway and after a prolonged illness,
died May 6, 1846 just as the ship rounded the Horn. They were closeenough to
the Isle of Juan Fernandez when death occurred, so that Laura was buried there
on Goat Island.
Ten of their number had died, all but one, LauraGoodwin, the mother of
seven young children had been buried in the cold unimpressionable ocean. Laura
Goodwin was buried in the Juan Fernandez Islands on the very isle where
Alexander Selkirk, the real Robinson Crusoe had lived and awaited rescue.
Elder Brannan delivered a wonderful funeral sermon at the burialservice of
Laura Goodwin eulogizing motherhood, its place in the eternal worlds even
before the worlds were created. The two or three families that lived on the
little island and could not understand English and crew of the Brooklynsat
spellbound at the sincere comfort of this first Mormon sermon preached inthe
Southern hemisphere that autumn day May 4, 1846.
Her death left Isaac with the problem of caring for seven motherless
children, the eldest of whom wasonly thirteen years of age. After a short
stop at Honolulu, the ship sailed onreaching her destination, California, the
last day of July, 1846.
