Phebe was born in 1783 in Massachusetts, the daughter of Simeon & Sarah (Payne) King. She had at least one younger brother, John L. King, who was born in 1787. There were at least two other siblings who are enumerated but not named in the 1800 census.
Phebe married David Goodrich about 1801; she was about 18 and he was at least 10 years older than she was. In 1780, when David was eight, he, his parents, and his siblings, all went to live in the Shaker Community in Hancock MA. Some of his father's relatives had already joined and more joined after David's family moved there. David probably left the Shakers between 1790, when he was 18, and 1801, when he married.
David & Phebe had 8 children, the first one was born in 1802 in Columbia Co, NY. The births of the next two children were registered in Petersburg NY and the rest just across the state line in Williamstown MA. They did not necessarily move - the border had not been firmly established in those early days.
Two of their daughters are of note. Their daughter Hannah (Goodrich) Brooks' had a daughter Hattie who became immensely wealthy after her husband invented the Wheeler-Wilson sewing machine. Four other daughters took advantage of this connection to prosper.
Their daughter Sarah (Goodrich) Treadwell was probably one of the Lowell MA Cotton Mill Girls. (Farm girls were recruited from all over New England, paid a good wage, and lived a sheltered life in dormitories.) She married and had 3 children in Lowell, then the family went on to Bernardston MA before 1860, where Phebe lived with them.
According to the 'Bernardston Town History' Phebe was present at the dedication of the town library in 1862. She was listed among 'notable old people present at the festivities, over 70 years of age.'
David died in 1852 and Phebe died in 1871 at the home of her daughter Sarah Treadwell in Bernardston.
