Henry's father, Henry Sr., was in "Carolina" on Oct 10, 1781 when he promised someone to pay for a 16-20 year-old slave by Apr 10, 1782 [McBee, p. 263-4].
In May 1783, a Henry Manadue was in the Natchez District when he purchased "a tract of land in the Dist. three leagues from the Fort, ten arpents in front by forty in depth, bounded by lands of St. Germain and James Spice and by lands not granted" for $140 cash and $60 to be paid in Dec. The $60 was paid in full on Jany, 1 1784, witnessed by Cato West [McBee, Book A, p. 18].
Map of the Natchez District as it may have looked between 1779 and 1799.
On Feb 22, 1784 David Smith, sold to John Burnet, the "part which I held in the saw mill in partnership with him and Richard Gooding and which we erected in the Cypress Swamp belonging to the aforesaid Burnet, distant 2 leagues from the Fort; for $500 payable out of the profits of the said mill as the same may accrue" [McBee, p. 17].
On Sep 10, 1784, St. Germain witnessed the sale of 100 arpents (about 84 acres) of land from David Smith to Cato West "near Cole's Creek, bordered on one side by land of Samuel Osborn, on other sides vacant" for $150 in cash paid at time of sale [McBee, Book A, p. 27].
On Apr 9, 1785, John Burnet sold to St. Germain two/thirds of the saw mill "now occupied on or near land of Richard Goodwin, with the same part in a yoke of oxen at the Mill and the wheels and chain and everything belonging to Richard Goodwin, and also my right to said mill" for $800 (Spanish money) "payable January next" [McBee, p. 137].
St. Germain died shortly before May 8, 1786 after "a fall from the top of a tree in the Cypress Swamp" about 15 miles above the Fort of Natches, apparently trying to get wood for the saw mill that he had purchased part of from John Burnet just the year before. The King's Surgeon, Don Louis Faure, informed of the accident, found him in the house of John Burnet "already dead half an hour before his arrival … body cold and wanting one leg" (McBee, pp. 33-4].
Cole's Creek, the saw mill and the Burnet Plantation were all in what became Jefferson Co., created from Adams Co., Miss. Terr. in 1799 (see present day map). In 1802 Claiborne Co. was formed just north of Jefferson Co. (see present day map for location).
On Aug 7, 1788 Henry Manadue was listed as one of the many outstanding debtors of the estate of Richard Carpenter, merchant of Natchez, and in Jun 1791 he was listed as a debtor of the estate of "Jere. Routh, decd" of Cole's Creek [McBee, Book B, pp. 55, 83].
On Dec 17, 1788 "Phoebe Goodwin" [widow of Richard Goodwin] sold to Henry Manadue 600 arpents on Cypress Swamp, bordered by lands of St. Germain and Jean Baptiste Lapuente, 3 leagues from the Fort of Natchez, "on which are erected a saw-mill and other buildings, for $1100, in hand paid"; Phoebe Goodwin signed with an "X" [McBee, Book B, p. 60]. .
Phoebe Goodwin may have been first married to Henry Manadue Jr. in Surry Co. NC. On Dec 27, 1771, "Henry Manadue Jr. and wife, Phebe" sold 200 acres on middle fork of Ararat River in Surry Co. NC, which Henry had obtained on Aug 21, 1768 from his father Henry Sr. Henry signed and Phebe signed with "X" [rootsweb-NC Land records].
On Feb 22, 1790 Waterman Crane sold 110 arpents of land with "an old house thereon" for $100 to "William Goodwin" bordered by lands of Widow McIntosh and Adam Bingaman (husband of Mrs. McIntosh) [McBee, Book B, p. 74]. On Mar 9, 1791, "William Groding" sold 96 acres land to Adam Bingaman. Court records for this transacton state that "Groding signs in German" [McBee, p. 460, Book B, p. 82].
After Richard died, Phoebe married or remarried Henry Manadue Jr., son of Henry Sr. (born 1728?). In one translation of the 1792 Spanish census for the Natchez Dist. there are two "Enrique Manadue" households: Henry Manadue, the young man, Henry Manadue. Both are in the SC (St. Catherine's Creek) area.
Rosanna Manadue, daughter of Henry Manadue Jr. born about 1768, married James Bonner (1764?-1820) by Jan 4, 1787 in the Natchez District. They were living in Rapides Parish LA in 1810. Her sister Elizabeth married Moses Bonner who died Feb 24, 1804 in Jefferson Co., Miss. Terr. His will, dated Dec 28, 1800, named "Jas. Bonner, Saml Marshall, Elizabeth my wife" as executors. It was witnessed by Manuel Madden. She married Stephen Justice on Jul 4.
In a letter dated Mar 2, 1790, from Carlos de Grand-Pré, Natchez to Governor Don Estavan Miro, the amount of tobacco produced in 1790 was reported by growers of Natchez. A "Henry Manadue" plantation reported producing 7,000 pounds of tobacco that year [MS Dept of Archives & History, website].
According to the 1792 Spanish Census for the Natchez District, there is only one household with a name similar to Goodwin: "Pheby Goodwind" owned 300 arpents of land in Bayou Pierre [future Claiborne Co.], with 6 white persons and one slave living on it.
When Martha Green, wife of "Thomas Green Jr. listed her estate, her 500 acres on Bayou Pierre was "adj. the widow Goodwin" [McBee, p. 366]. In the 1792 Spanish Census for the Natchez District, there were no Green households in the Bayou Pierre region.
Henry Manadue Sr. died by Oct 5, 1793 in Natchez. He had a son Henry Jr, and a daughter [grandaughter] Rosanna who was born in NC about 1768. Phoebe Manadue, his widow, was recorded in Natchez Court records on Oct 5, 1793 [McBee, p. 97].
In March 1794, "Phoebe Gooding" gave her name and birthplace (SC) and condition (widow) when asked what she told "Thomas Green concerning the arrival of Americans to this province" [McBee, p. 330].
Son Henry Manadue "of North Carolina" married "Deliah Horton" on Feb 2, 1797 at Natchez. In the Catholic church records, Henry and Deliah are identified as Calvinists, and his parents given as "Henry & Phebe Manadue" [Diocese of Baton Rouge, Catholic Church Records, vol. 2, p. 387].
On Mar 9, 1804, the "heirs of Richard Goodwin" are identified as Samuel, William, Sarah and Elizabeth Goodwin. Also as legal representatives they claimed land on the south side of Bayou Pierre, "by right of occupancy... cultivated in 1786 by Mr. John Terry who sold it" and the claim was witnessed by William Smith [McBee, p. 517].
On Mar 15, 1804, a "Benjamin Goodall" claimed "preemption rights to 100 acres on the waters of Petty [Petit] Gulf Cr., by virtue of having inhabited and cultivated the same since 1802" [McBee, p. 519]. This would have been in Jefferson Co. MS at the time. The 1816 Jefferson Co. MS Census had a "Samuel Goodall" household.
On Jun 7, 1807 a Mary Manadue married William Justice (born in Ga, about 1785) in Jefferson Co. MS. He served in the War of 1812 and owned a large amount of land. Mary may have been born in the Davidson Co. NC (later Nashville TN) as Phoebe's last child, called "Polly" [genealogy.com post, Oct 9, 2000]. Mary Manadue may be the wife aged 16-26 in the William Justice household in 1820 Rapides Parish LA census [S-K, p. 134, line 25].
In the 1810 Census for Rapides Parish LA, "James Bonner" and "Wm Manadue" headed households: On page 401, line 3, son Wm. Manadue was a single male aged 26-45, no females, but one "other" person and 10 slaves. In the James Bonner household on page 392, line 11, 1 male 26-45 (himself), 8 children, 1 female between age 26-45 (his wife Rosanna Manadue, born about 1768), and 22 slaves.
Two Goodwins are listed on Page 7, lines 18 and 19 of the Claiborne Co. Tax Roll for 1810 as follows: Samuel Goodwin 209 acres in Bayou Pierre (donation), one poll (white person) and no slaves. William Goodwin 200 acres in Bayou Pierre (donation), two polls and one slave. Henry Manadue is listed as "Henry Manadeer" on page 4, line 5, having no land but producing 5000 "Sales of Merchandise Within the Year..." with one poll and no slaves.
In the 1820 Rapides Parish LA Census, page 132, line 31, widow "Delila Manadue" born by 1775, headed a household with 3 older children born by 1795, 3 children under age 10, and many slaves. Therefore, son Henry Manadue likely died about 1817 if he was the father of all of these children [S-K, 1820 Rapides Parish LA Census, p. 132]. The youngest child may be Warren Henry Manadue (1817-1850) who married Mary Elizabeth Bonner by Oct 1837 in LA when daughter Winifred was born. Warren Manadue died in Brazoria Co. TX of measles at age 33. He had bought land there by 1847, married again (to Ann Compton who later married Overton Young in 1852) and they had small children ["Winifred F. Manadue Terry", Find-a-grave, website].
In the 1820 Census for Rapides Parish LA, there is a "James Bonner" household but the members are too young for Rosanna and James (born 1764). There is a household headed by "Elizabeth Justice" aged over 45, with 2 males younger than 26 and 7 slaves. Elizabeth married Stephen Justice after Moses Bonner died. There is also a nearby "William Justice" household and if the sisters again married brothers, he may have married Rosanna after James Bonner died. He was aged 26-45 and his wife (Mary Manadue) in 1820 is younger than 26.
In the 1820 Rapides Parish LA Census, page 141, line 17, Henry Manadue's daughter and James Bonner's widow "Rosana Bonner" born by 1768, 45+ years old headed an 8-member household with other members all born after 1794 (sons/ daughters), and 30 slaves. Next to her on line 18 was a Henry Bonner household with only two males aged 16-26 (sons?), and a female and more slaves [S-K, 1820 Rapides Parish LA Census, p. 141].
In the 1823 Tax Roll for Claiborne Co., on page 1 lines 47,48,49, there are three Goodwins listed, all in Bayou Pierre; Samuel Goodwin (son), with 1 poll (white person) and 2 slaves on 143 acres; "Pheoby (Estate)", (mother), with no persons on 100 acres of land; William Goodwin (son), with 2 polls and 1 slave on 100 acres.
Richard Goodwin may have been the older brother of Benjamin (Goodin) Goodwin (1755-1841) who received a pension in 1823 for service in the Virgina Continental Army. Benjamin was born in Baltimore MD and died in Natchez, and his occupation was Sargeant.
