Godfrey Dearborn(e) was a weaver by trade.

He first married Lucy Richardson (1605 Willoughby, Lincolnshire Co. England - 1662 Hampton, Rockingham Co. New Hampshire) on 6/23/1629 in Ormsby, Norfolk Co. England.

He second married Ann Goody (1605 Willoughby, Lincolnshire Co. England - 1662 Hampton, Rockingham Co. England) in about 1632 in Willoughby, Norfolk, England. He married a third time, on 11/25/1662, a widow named Dorothy Dalton (1605 - ) the widow of Philemon Dalton.

Godfrey and his family came to America by June 5, 1639, when he signed (by making his "D" mark) the "Exeter Combination", an agreement for self-government signed by 35 men, at the establishment of Exeter, New Hampshire.

Godfrey was a follower of Rev. John Wheelwright, the founder of Exeter, who himself was from Alford, Lincolnshire, England. Rev. Wheelwright had been banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1639 along with Godfrey and his congregation, for supporting his sister-in-law, the celebrated Anne Hutchinson, in the Antinomian controversy.

Godfrey lived in Exter for about ten years after and then moved to the neighboring town of Hampton, New Hampshire between 1648 and 1650. There he built a house which still stands, at 73 Exeter Road, and reputed today to be the oldest frame house in the state.

In his Will, Godfrey expressed that he had 3 daughters.
