Henry's son Henry Manadue Jr. may have been married to Phoebe Goodwin 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 Jr. had obtained on Aug 21, 1768 from his father. Henry signed and Phebe signed with "X" [rootsweb-NC Land records].
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 Apr 30, 1785, a "H. Manadue" witnessed an agreement between John Stillee and a James Brown in the Natchez District, that [aged 18 and about 17 year old] "George and William Holloway or two others as good would work in the crop along with four able negroes" [Natchez Court Records, Book F, p. 243].
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]. .
Rosanna Manadue, daughter of Henry Manadue Jr., 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].
After Richard died, Phoebe married 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, and Henry Manadue. Both were in the SC (St. Catherine's Creek) area.
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.
Henry Manadue Sr. died by Oct 5, 1793 in Natchez. He had a son Henry Manadue Jr. born about 1748, and a daughter 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].
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].
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.
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 just has a "Samuel Goodall" household.
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 in 1820 is younger than 26.
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.
