p. 494
Goshen derives its name from a place in New York which bears a similar
appellation, and was laid out by John Winans and Lot Cooper, October 25, 1816. The original plat embraced 86 lots, to which an addition was made March 16, 1818, by Jesse Wood, of 82 lots. November 25, 1833, Dr. Samel G. Meek, Jesse Wood, John P. Clough, Abram Teator, Lewis Chaney, Nathan Haywood, John Frybarger, Cornelius Glass, Ebenezer Pruden, and B.M. Jackson made an addition of 99 lots, which is sometimes called East Goshen.

Teator; and the last in that trade was isaac Leonard. Nathan Haywood and Elijah Applegate were early carpenters. Anderson & Derrah had the
first and only pottery, about 1849.

Masonic Lodge Activities
NATHAN HAYWOOD became a member of the Corinthian Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons (in Concord, Massachusetts) on December 26, 1808.
The Corinthian Lodge was chartered in 1797 by Paul Revere, who was then Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts.
On March 4, 1844, Master Masons of Goshen, Ohio, and vicinity, met to
apply for a lodge charter. Nathan Heywood, a Past Master, headed the list of signers of the Petition. A Dispensation was granted. The first meeting of the Goshen Lodge 119 F. & A.M. was held May 28, 1844, for the purpose of electing officers, with Nathan Heywood presiding.
On June 17, 1853, the Lodge passed a resolution of respect to "our Beloved Brother Nathan Heywood, the Lodge to be
in mourning for a period of 30 days".
