Goodmans of Maryland

This is an area I have not done much research in, as most of my own Goodmans probably came into and resided in the eastern counties of Virginia. However, a few Goodmans did come into early colonial Maryland, and their given names are interesting due to possible connections with the Goodmans of Ruthin, N. Wales.
