Tomahawk Unearthed Near James Goodman Farm
Workmen digging on the James Goodman homestead on the George Wray farm near Port Ant two miles from the village unearthed a tomahawk believed to be Indian use before the Revolutionary War. The weapon lay a few inches below the surface as the ground was leveled. The Goodman house is among the region’s largest farmhouses. Colonel Wray built it shortly after arriving at Port Ant around 177, and he acquired much land. The present owner, James Goodman, is a direct descendant of Colonel Wray.
