GOODWIN

 

John GOODWIN Gent. died October 13th 1807 aged 90 years. Also Sarah Henrietta wife of the above died September 29th, 1793 aged .... years.

 

The Universal Magazine, November 1807 - Death - At Canterbury, aged 90, Mr. John Goodwin, formerly a quarter-master in the 3d Dragoon Guards. HIs habits were so singularly parsimonious, that he had secluded himself from the world nearly 14 years past, having never passed his threshold, nor suffered his window shutters to be opened during the whole time. He has left 50l. to the Kent and Canterbury hospitals.

 

Looks like from the above that he missed his wife when she passed away.
