Notes for Thomas Miles Goodfellow
His military records say that he was born in Mifflin Co., Pa. which makes sense since that's where I have seen his parets living. This same record says that he was 42 years old on 21 Jan.. 1866, making him born in the year 1823. In a letter to Erwin W. Fellows in 1988 from Jane Crichton (a great grand daughter of Thomas Miles Goodfellow and Ellen Grahame), Jane gives his birthday as 26 May, 1823. This is the correct date, I believe.
Thomas Miles Goodfellow was " authorized to exercise his gifts as a Local Preacher in the Methodist E.
