i knew a person doing genealogy research on godett, she is a north carolina Godett, her family owned a farm, she said the godett family is big, they owned land in different states. she said the godett family is so big its like a tribe, she said all the godetts are related to each other. I ran into another godett he told me the same think and this women and him did not know each other because i mentioned her name, he did not know her, he was on his way to a big godett family reunion held in north carolina or virginia, HE SAID THE GODETT ORIGINATED IN CANADA. ALSO, THE GODETT NAME HAS DIFFERENT VARIATIONS IN SPELLINGS.
