Hi,
As far as I know this was indeed named after Samuel
Godyn, who was one of the lords of the
Dutch West Indie Company.
There is a museum in Virginia , I forgot the name,
that has a lot more info about him. It could be that he
started a village called Swaenendael or so there.
If you really need more info I can try to dig in my books for you
and see what I can find.
Regards
John
