For the two last generations, reference must be made to Francis Olcott Allen, ed., The History of Enfield, Connecticut, 3 vols. (Lancaster, Pa.: Wickersham Printing Co., 1900), esp. 2:1593, 1810. English ancestors are explored by Sheila Spencer Stover, New Information about the Ancestry of Austin Kilham/Killam of Dedham and Wenham, Massachusetts, Colonial Genealogist 13, no. 47, reprinted in Augustan Society Omnibus 8 (1987): 74-7, 79, and Robert Charles Anderson, Marriages of Promise, American Genealogist 67 (1992): 54.

Alice Goodale, in the second generation above, is apparently the daughter of the widow Elizabeth (____) Goodale of Dennington, who died in 1602 and whose will is abstracted in Henry F. Waters, Genealogical Gleanings in England: Abstracts of Wills Relating to Early American Families, with Genealogical Notes and Pedigrees Constructed from the Wills and Other Documents, 2 vols. (1907; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1981), 2:1403-4. She may well be related to Hannah Goodale, whose ancestors came from the same parish, but their relationship is unknown.
