Godfrey

"I'm going to beat you senseless."

- Godfrey to Terry during their brawl.

Godfrey was a lumberjack who resided within the Davenport Homestead during the American Revolution, with his wife Catherine and his children. Prior to residing on the Homestead, he and his companion Terry had a camp set up nearby, north of Champlain, New York, as they had been hoping to open a mill in the area at the time.

Around this time, the pair had been directing logs on the river when Terry somehow became submerged in the water, clinging frantically to a log and choking, as he drifted towards a waterfall. On Godfrey's call for help at the Homestead manor, a young Connor saved Terry, offering the both of them to set up a sawmill at the Homestead. They then provided the place with lumber, which could later be sold or crafted into wooden items to raise income.

Following a thief's attempt to rob the Homestead, Godfrey and Terry erupted into a brawl over whose fault it was over leaving the houses unattended. Connor broke them up, and Godfrey later revealed he hadn't actually wanted to hurt Terry, and Terry felt similarly, revealing he had a temper problem.

Some time after, when Father Timothy arrived at the Homestead and revealed himself to come from London, Godfrey chuckled, as he had little regard for members of the British. Timothy, however, revealed himself to be of no allegiance, and wished to remain neutral, before the townsfolk agreed to erect a church for him to preach at.
