Not all family researchers are lucky enough to have a family line that is as definative as the Goudelock's. Everyone I have ever had the pleasure to meet that has this family name in their lineage is descended from this one family. Adam Goudelock came into the colonies alone (at least as far as we know now) and founded this line with his wife, Hannah Stockton. If you are here to check out the Goudelock's you can rest assured - you are related. Would that our Smith's and Martin's and Williams', etc. were this easy.
I was first acquainted with the genealogy of this family when I received a packet of papers that was created by Janice Ann Hunter, a college student in the 1970's, who did a report on her Goudelock Family as part of a final project. I would like to acknowlege Janice wherever she is today. Much of the following information came from cousins who, along the way, managed to get a copy of your work. I am certain you had no idea that the 1990's would provide the means to share your work with the world and, especially with all your Goudelock cousins. If you are out there, thank you, from all of us.
If anything does not match with your own personal research, please contact me. I also have information on additional generations.Generation No. 1
