Goodhue, George Jervis, 1799-1870 : Merchant landowner politician

George Jervis Goodhue was the son of Josiah Goodhue a prominent physician in Vermont and Massachusetts. He came to the London District in 1820 at the age of 21 and soon became a general merchant, distiller and pearl-ash maker in Westminster Township. The establishment of London as district capital in 1826 presented Goodhue with the opportunity to become a really wealthy man. He formed a partnership with Lawrence Lawson as general merchants, and, like his partner, became director of the Bank of Upper Canada, 1848-1854. He held some minor offices in Westminster and London including postmaster of London, 1830-1834 and member of council for St. George's ward. He was also Member of the Legislative Council, 1842-1860. Goodhue entered extensively in land speculation and, when he died, owned land in many counties of Upper Canada.
