Walter Goodner, born supposedly in Orange County, North Carolina, was the eldest son and child of Mary Goodner, and her husband believed to have been Peter Goodner.  He grew to manhood on the farm.  His father died when he was in his teens, and his mother died in the latter part of 1796, just at the time that Walter arrived at his maturity.  Walter continued the avocation of farming all his life.

While he was not appointed Administrator of his mother's estate, he did settle the outstanding debts, as is witnessed by the Administration papers, (qv).  He was the only one of the children to have reached the age of 21 at the time of the death of the mother.

About 1792 or 1793, he married in either Orange or Guilford County, North Carolina, a Miss Susannah.  Her family name is not known; no record of the marriage is in existence.  Susannah was born about 1777.  In the 1800 census return of Guilford County, Walter is shown as the head of a household with one child, a son, under 10 years of age, which was John.

Shortly after the sale of the home farm which the sons had inherited from their mother, which sale occurred December 12^th, 1801, but which was not recorded until the February Court of 1805, this being the same tract of land that the mother had purchased Aug. 18, 1788 from Martin Wirick, and which lay on the waters of Reedy fork Creek in northeastern Guilford County, Walter moved away to some point in Kentucky.  There he remained, so far as we know. until about the year 1811 or 1812.  We next find him in Preble County, Ohio, where on August 29^th, 1812, he purchased a tract of land consisting of 155 acres from Daniel Christman, being a part of the west half of Section 4. Township 5: Range 3.  This land lies immediately west of the present town of West Alexandria in Lanier Township on the south side of Route #35. for this land he paid the sum of 5400.00. Here he remained until the latter part of 1829: a period of about 17 years.  On September 29^th, 1829, he sold this land, 30 acres to Michael Wolf (born 1771, Pennsylvania; died 1856), and 95 acres to Daniel Wolf: apparently brothers.  Ten years previous, on August 21^st, 1819. he had sold 30 acres to Henry Strader for $300.00. After the sale he moved on west to Vermilion County, Illinois, and it seems that all his married children accompanied him.

Two of his children were married in Preble County, Ohio, Rebecca to Eli Huit (Hewitt) on September 28^th, 1826, and David to Elizabeth Moore, August, 11^th, 1829.  It is thought that John may also have married in Preble County, but if so his marriage record is not on file. John does not appear to have married early, for in the 1820 census of Preble County, a son is shown as living with Walter at the age John was at the time.  This census shows that Walter had eight children,–four boys and four girls.

Walter was probably motivated in moving to Preble County by the fact that many other families from Guilford and Orange Counties, North Carolina, had gone there or were in the process of moving there, among whom were the Scherers (Shearers), the sister of Christian Scherer having married Walter's uncle, Conrad Goodner, the Hewitts, Swishers, Straders, Tades, Tickles, and others.  The sale of his farm in Preble County netted him a substantial profit; he then moved on to the newly created county of Vermilion in Illinois.  He purchased property there on Sept. 19th, 1831, recorded February 27^th, 1832, from Othrniel Preston, in Section 36, Township 20, Range 12.  On January 21^st, 1833, he purchased another piece of property from a William Peters, in Section 1, Township 17, Range 12, and on February, 15^th, 1834, a piece of land from an Elisha Chambers.  One of these tracts he later sold to son, Daniel, the deed being dated January 1^st, 1844, but which was not recorded until nine years later, on June 1^st, 1853.

Susannah, his wife, died between the years 1840 and the summer of 1842.  She is shown as living in the 1840 census of Vermilion County, a fact determined by the age shown and by his marriage to Polly (Mary) Stark, September 15^th, 1842, in Vermilion County.  Polly's age at the time of the marriage was given as 47.  All of Walter's children were by Susannah.  The 1840 census of Vermilion shows him as having three small children in his household, one between the ages of five and ten and the other two under five years of age.  These must have been grandchildren. Out of these, apparently, was Sarah Goodner, shown as still living with him in the 1850 census, at which time her age was given as thirteen.

Walter died September 10^th, 1864, at the ripe old age of 89 years, and was interred in the Concord Cemetery located three miles west of Georgetown, Illinois.  Polly also must have died between the years 1860 and 1870, since her name does not appear in the 1870 census.  Her age at death thus was between 65 and 75 years.

There is some uncertainty as to the complete number of children born to Walter and Susannah Goodner as no one in the family kept a complete record.  From partial information supplied by members of the family and from what has been obtained from the census returns, the following list is believed to be accurate, if not complete.  There are Goodner shown in the 1860 and 1870 census returns whom we have not been able to place.  The names of these will be given in the Census Returns shown in the back of the volume (qv).

2d    Rebecca Goodner, born about 1800, in Kentucky.  Her birth occurred after the date the census was taken in Guilford County, North Carolina, as her name does not appear.  Married Eli Huit (Hewitt); 9–26–1826, Preble County, Ohio, by Jacob Bowman, JP.  Eli Hewitt is believed to have been a son of Philip Hewitt, who emigrated from North Carolina to Preble County, Ohio, in 1807, settling on Banta Creek in a location where some five years later Walter Goodner settled.  The Hewitts were of Scotch–Irish ancestry.  The district in which both families settled was laid out into Lanier Township.

We have no further data on Rebecca and Eli, but in the census returns of 1850, 1860, and 1870 of Vermilion County, Illinois, to which place the Goodners moved, there is shown an Eli Hewitt, age 44, born in North Carolina, with wife, Mary, age 52, naming children as follows:

David Hewitt, born 1837.

James Hewitt, born 1834.

Mary Hewitt, born 1836.

Nancy Hewitt, born 1837.

Isaac Hewitt, born 1842.

Reuben Hewitt, born 1848.

Whether this was the same Eli, with a second wife, is not now known, but if so, some of the children, especially David, could have been by Rebecca.  This Mary is shown as having been born in Kentucky in 1798 in the 1850 census.  In the 1860 census her birthplace was given as North Carolina, and corrected again to Kentucky in the 1870 census returns.  Living with Eli, in the 1850 census returns, was an aged female,  Eleanor Prather, age 84, which may have been the mother of Mary.  Please note the Hewitt families shown in the Census Returns which appear in the rear of this book.
