Thank you for your post of the Godwin information. Wells Godwin was my great,
great grandfather and the John Godwin mentioned as advertising for stone
masons was his brother who built the first bridge across the Chatahoochee
River between Columbus, Muskogee Co., GA and Russell Co, AL.

Serious Godwin researchers like you are a credit to the Godwin surname.
