James Junius Goodwin (September 16, 1835 - June 23, 1915) was the cousin of J P Morgan.

This partnership continued in the succeeding firm of Dabney, Morgan, & Company, until the latter was dissolved, and the business merged in that of Drexel, Morgan, & Company on July 1, 1871. Since then, Goodwin remained out of active business for himself. Since the death of his father, in 1878, he had the charge of his father's estate, and he occupied many positions of trust and responsibility with his brother. He was a director of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, and other corporations that centered in Hartford, Connecticut.
He did not sever his interests and residence in New York though and in 1878, he became a director in the New York, Lake Erie, and Western (Erie) Railroad. He was vestryman in Calvary Church in New York City, in 1870-72 and 1877-79, and Warden in 1889.
On June 23, 1915, Goodwin died at his home on Woodland Street in Hartford. His death was not unexpected as his health had been failing for over two years.
