OF HISTORIC AND LOCAL INTEREST
William
Goffe - Seventeenth Century William Goff was a son of Stephen Goffe,
rector of Stanmer. He was apprenticed to a London Salter.
In the Civil War Goffe joined the Army of the Parliament and rose to the rank of colonel.
William Goffe was one of the judges at the trial of Charles I and signed the death warrant.
He later commanded Cromwell's own Regiment at Dunbar.
Goffe sat in several parliaments of the protectorate and was called to Cromwell's House of Lords.
In
1652 owing to his influence, John Goffe, an Anglican clergyman, was
given the living of Norton, in Kent and his appointment was confirmed
after the Restoration.
William Goff was excluded from the act of indemnity at the Restoration in 1660 and went to New England.
He
landed at Boston and stayed at various places including New Haven and
Hadley, and he properly died in the latter place in 1679 and there was
buried.
There is a modern memorial tablet to him at the rear of Center Church, New Haven. |  |
