Linda,
Your parents of Sylvanus were:
Father:James Norman Goddin - born 1815 in New Kent Co., VA.
Mother:Mary Ann Vaughan - born in 1818; married to James in 1840.
Sylvanus, born in 1844 according to my source, was the second of six children.This source has a few lines of biography, including his service in the Civil War, his marriage to Susan Eliza Richardson produced six children (according to this source.)
My source is:
"Genealogy of the Goddin Family", by Arnette Goddin Vaughan, Lewis Printing Company, Richmond, Va., circa 1923.
Although there are errors, this is a wonderful book about the Goddins, starting with their origins in Kent Co., England.
The problem is that I don't know where you could get a copy.I originally found it in the DAR Library in Washington, D.C.I was never able to get hold of a copy, so I paid the DAR Libe to copy bout 57 pages for me.They will only copy so many pages.I forget the whole procedure, but you could write them. Sylvanus' information appeared on pp. 52-54.The family history is in the early part of the book, and all his direct ancestors should be within the first 54 pages.
Good hunting!Anne Crosby
