Pages 63 and 188-190 in History of Goodspeed Family by W. A. Goodspeed, 1907
Part of this reference is as follows:
Gideon Goodspeed was probably a son of Stephen and Bethia (Wooden)
Goodspeed. Gideon was born about 1755 at Cumberland, Rhode Island and
died at Ira, Vermont about 1797. He married about 1781, Susanna Gallup,
born about 1760 near Scituate, Rhode Island. Upon the death of Gideon
(who was brother of Sarah and Thankful Goodspeed) his widow, Susanna
married Joseph Irish, the half-brother of Gideon. Joseph was probably
born in Rhode Island in 1764 or 1765. How they came to be half-brothers
has not been learned. Gideon moved to Dutchess County, N. Y., thence to
Danby, Vermont. Joseph and Susanna (Goodspeed) Irish resided at Ira,
Vermont and died there. He was a farmer and reared a large family,
regarding whom it has been very difficult to obtain any information.
From: Joe Travis
W.L. identifies Gideon as 1st husband of Susannah Gallup and brother of
Sarah and Thankful Goodspeed (2nd & 3rd wives of Jedediah). See notes on
Susannah and her 2nd husband, Joseph. [Joseph is reported by W.L. as son
of Jedediah and either Sarah or Thankful].

Hello Joe. I was very interested to read your entry on Gideon Goodspeed.
For years I have been searching for the parents of Mercy Goodspeed, born
1769 who married Jonathon Austin in 1784 about the same time as Gideon
and Susanna. Gideon had a son Hosea and a daughter Mercy. Jonathon had a
son Hosea (as well as Isaac) and daughter Mercy. I think possibly my
Mercy and Gideon were brother and sister and the children of Hosea (or
possibly Isaac). Hosea, the son of Stephen and Bethia was not born in the
1750's as indicated in the Goodspeed Genealogy. Wrentham, Norfolk Co.
Mass., records indicate he was born the 9th of July 1736. Isaac may have
also been born at an earlier date. If Hosea died, his widow may have
married Joseph Irish which would explain the fact that Joseph Irish was a
half-brother.
