Goodwin, a descendant of Abigail Fawcett, daughter of Thomas Fawcett, had in his possession the oldest record of Thomas Fawcett’s family. He had special interest in matters historical, and gathered all the data he could find relating to the Fawcetts and Smiths. He offered to donate a lot in Riverview cemetery and share the expense of removing these old pioneers to a place where their remains could sleep in peace, and rest undisturbed forevermore. This matter was very dear to his heart, and he contemplated doing just what has been done, when death claimed him so suddenly the night of President McKinley’s election in November, 1896. He had in his possession the original deed granting to Isaac Craig, of Pittsburgh, Pa., sections Nos. 23 and 24, in range No. 1, township No. 5, bought December 6, 1796, the deed being dated at Philadelphia, Pa., August 30, 1798, signed by John Adams, president. Also the deed from Isaac Craig to Thomas Fawcett, conveying the same sections of land containing 1,090 75‒100 acres for the consideration of $3,651.00 cash; both deeds are in a good state of preservation, having been written on parchment.
