Thomas Godden 

Thomas Godden (d. 1824), along with Christopher Kitching, was set apart as a missionary to Jamaica at Frome in March 1818. He came out of James Bicheno’s congregation at Newbury. In October 1819, not long after he commenced his work at Spanish Town, his wife died. He did not remain long in Jamaica, retiring in 1823 due to poor health; he died in November 1824. See F. A. Cox, History of the Baptist Missionary Society, from 1792 to 1842, 2 vols. (London: T. Ward, and G. and J. Dyer, 1842), 2:25-32.
