Husband of Christina Fulbright.
Peter and Christina E. (Fulbright) Goodwin were among the earliest settlers in what is now Laclede County. They settled near the confluence of two creeks that are now called the Dry Glaize or Auglaize and Goodwin Hollow; the Goodwin Hollow Creek is named after Peter Goodwin.
Christina E. Fulbright was born about 1792, probably in Lincoln County (some say Buncombe County), North Carolina, to John and Elizabeth (Coulter) Fulbright.
Peter Goodwin was born about 1791 in Lincoln County, North Carolina to Isaac and Isabel Goodwin. Isaac Goodwin was born about 1745 and died before 1795 in Lincoln, North Carolina. Isaac married Mrs. Isabel Goodwin before 1789 and may have had one or two other marriages before this. Two of Peter's brothers were William and Isaac; his father's other children by a previous marriage: Abraham, Robert, Ephraim, Mary, Abigail.
In the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, Lincoln Co., NC, April,1805, it was ordered that "Peter Goodwin, an orphant son of Isaac Goodwin, de'd, of about 14 years be bound unto Isaac Lowrance until he arrive at the age of 21 years to learn the art & mistery of a Tanner and to give him two suits of good clothes at the time of his freedom. The said Peter Goodwin, being of proper age, came into Open Court & chose Abram Goodwin for his Guardian who gave bond and Isaac Lowrance Security in the sum of L100." Peter's brother William was to learn the "art and mistery" of a miller. The sheriff was looking for orphan Isaac Goodwin, who was probably a brother to Peter and William.
Peter's grandfather is thought to be William Goodwin, who died about 1795 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. It is believed that the Goodwin family came to the United States from Germany about the same time as the Vollbrecht (Fulbright) family. Their movements in the US are similar. They lived on Lyles Creek in Lincoln County -- what is now Catawba County, North Carolina, and moved together to MO and Tennessee. Many of the Fulbright family and their relatives came to Missouri in 1810; in 1820 and 1830 Peter and Christina seem to have been in Washington County. At some point they went back to Tennessee and then came to what is now Laclede County about 1832.
Several of Christina's relatives also settled on the Dry Glaize Creek in Laclede County; the Fulbright clan owned most of the land along the creek for several miles. Christina's brothers: William, Martin, Daniel, and John along with their families settled in the area for a time; some of them stayed permanently and others moved.
Christina Fulbright and Peter Goodwin had several children.
