1790 Census of Northwood - John Godpee 1 male 16+; 3 males under 16; 2 females
1800 Census of Deerfield - 1 male under 10; 1 male 10 to 15; 2 males 16 to 25; 1 male 26 to 45; a female under 10; a female 10 to 15; 1 female 16 to 25; 1 female 26 to 45.
1810 Census of Epsom - 2 males 16 to 25; 1 male 45 and up; 1 female 16 to 25; 1 female 45 and up.
1820 Census of Northwood - a male 45 and up; 1 female 45 and up.
1830 Census of Northwood - most like in household of Samuel James and daughter Abigail.
John Godfrey (son of Moses of Northwood, NH) appears in the town records having been granted a license to keep an open tavern in 1800 and 1803. At this time there are no records to indicate that he either owned any land or buildings in Epsom, in fact, the 1800 census lists the family in Deerfield, with 1 male under 10, 1 male 10 to 15, 2 males 16 to 25, a female under 10, a female 10 to 15, 1 female 16 to 25, plus a male 26 to 45 and a female of the same age, probably John and his wife. It would appear, as with several other license holders during this time, that they ran taverns in buildings belonging to others.
In a deed of July 3, 1803, George Frost of Northwood, trader sells to John Godfrey of Epsom, Innholder, land in Northwood, northerly on the road leading from Col. Johnson's and mcClary's mills so called, westerly on land of Joshua Hoit, southerly on Suncook Pond, and easterly by land of Moses Johnson, together with al the buildings standing thereon and is a pice of land I puchased of John Bickford Oct. 7, 1801.
This definitely is the case later. Though it is not known exactly where the 1800 tavern is, John Godfrey did buy land from John Ham on January 7, 1805 (R 169-295). The deed describes the purchase as 2 parcels of land part of lot #25 in the first range \endash one to contain one half of one acre, on the south side of the turnpike where it crosses north road leading to Pittsfield. The other 10 acres of the same lot. No buildings are found at this time. John Godfrey also appears on the 1806 town tax list, still no building. Typical the inventory for the tax lists were done in the spring. He likely built a tavern during late 1806, along with buying land, and is listed on one such deed in 1807 as Inn holder. He sells all his property and buildings in July of 1806 to Levi Mead of Northwood (R 176-49), though continues to live and run the tavern, with a liquor license in 1806. Levi Mead puts the property up for sale in February of 1808 \endash
NH Gazette 3-1-1808
NOTICE is hereby given that all the real estate, formerly owned and occupied by John Godfrey, lying in Epsom, will be sold at Public Auction on Monday the 4th day of April next, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, consisting of about 50 acres of LAND, with the buildings thereof, viz. - A new and convenient dwelling house, thirty by forty feet, one story high, well finished with a good cellar under it; a new and convenient Barn, Shed, and a Coopers Shop, situate on the first New Hampshire Turnpike Road, leading from Concord to Portsmouth, and on the road leading from Gilmanton to Newburyport, which renders it an excellent stand for a Tavern or Trader.
Sale to be on the premises, when the conditions will be made known. \endash Further information may be had by applying to LEVI MEAD & JOHN HARVEY of Northwood, - or JOHN GODFREY, living on the premises.
Northwood, February 22, 1808
On May 7, Levi Mead sells the entire property back to John Godfrey, Inn Holder (R 184-116), who in turn, on the same day, sells it to Ephraim Eastman of Deerfield (R 184-114).
Ephraim receives a license to keep an open tavern in 1809, and sells the entire operation back to Levi Mead July 21, 1809 (R 186-125). The 1810 census for Epsom shows John Godfrey in that part of town where the tavern was located, probably again running the tavern for Levi Mead. The tavern and operation is again sold in 1813, and John Godfrey removes to Northwood.
Also of interest, John appears in 1800 census in Deerfield, and buys land in Northwood in 1803 of George Frost land and buildings, being already Innholder of Epsom. It would appear through several transactions that he was in back in Northwood, as by deeds of 1804 and 1805 (Rockingham deeds 168-395 and 169-292). There is also mention of a Godfrey in Cogswell's History of Deerfield, discussing that part of Deerfield called 'Coffee Town' -
"This part of town took its name, it is believed, from the circumstance, that a man by the name of Godfrey lived here, who, with his family, made an extravagant use of coffee, as was thought by his fellow-townsmen. May it not be that by this Godfrey an attempt was made to raise this berry, as has been often done since elsewhere, and hence the name?"
Then there is the ad selling Godfrey's tavern in Deerfield. The contact is Mark French, but there is no deed showing he owned the property, and was perhaps acting as agent for the sale.
Concord Gazette 5-5-1813
To be Let,
ON liberal terms, and possession given the 6th day of March next, that pleasantly situated Farm, in Deerfield, well known by name of Godfrey's Tavern, near Pleasant Pond, so called, which is considered to be one of the best stands for a Tavern and Store, in the State. There is on said farm, a good house, Store, two Sheds, Woodhouse, and a complete Stable, well finished, and an Orchard that produced apples sufficient to make from 15 to 20 barrels of Cider the last season. It is also well wooded.
For further particulars, enquire of Mark French, of Epsom, where the conditions will be made known.
Jan. 5, 1813
Grave at Fairview cemetery in Northwood is broken and completely buried.
General Notes: Wife - Hannah Locke
This could be Bapt. date, as that date is given as Feb. 13, 1760.
Locke genealogy gives her name as Ann (called Sally). She had a sister name Annah (Hannah). Contrary to this information by Locke, the grave of the wife of John Godfrey in Northwood is clearly HANNAH. That of the sister clearly ANN. These are the given names used here.
Her death is reported in the Northwood Church records as the old Mrs. Godfrey, matching that on the gravestone. Gravestone broken and covered over with grass (2006)
