Goodell was born on February 14, 1792, in Templeton, Massachusetts, the second of twelve children of William and Phebe (Newton) Goodell. He was a descendant of Robert Goodell, or Goodale, who came from Suffolk County, England, and settled in Salem, Massachussets, in 1634. His parents lived a life of poverty, patience, meekness, and faith.
Determined to get an education but with no means of support assured, in 1811 William strapped his trunk on his back, and walked the sixty miles to Phillips Academy, Andover. Graduating from Dartmouth College in 1817, where he had supported himself by teaching, he entered Andover Theological Seminary. After the completion of his course there in 1820, the better to prepare himself for the missionary field, he attended medical lectures at Dartmouth for a few months; then for a year traveled in the West as agent for the American Board.
At the annual meeting of the Board held at New Haven in 1822 Goodell was ordained, September 12. On January 21, 1823, he and his wife arrived at Malta en route for Jerusalem where they expected to establish themselves. Except for one visit (1851-1853), he was not to return to America until in his seventy-fourth year he went home to spend his last days. After nine months' preparatory study at Malta, unfavorable conditions in Jerusalem making it inadvisable for him to go there, he repaired to Beirut where, with others, in the face of obstacles and persecution, he established a mission. War conditions forced him to retire to Malta in 1828, and for three years he superintended the mission press. In April 1831 he received instructions from the American Board to go to Constantinople and establish a new mission with special reference to the Armenians; and that city became his permanent residence. Here, in 1834, he was joined by Harrison Gray Otis Dwight. Although never robust physically, Goodell was otherwise eminently fitted for his work. During his long career he continued his work through war, pestilence, persecutions, and plots against his life. Perhaps as much as any individual he laid the foundation for the American Board's work in Turkey. One of his greatest services was a translation of the Bible into Armeno-Turkish. In this work he was greatly assisted by native scholars, notably Bishop Dionysius and Panayotes Constantinides. The New Testament was issued in 1831 from the press at Malta, and the Old Testament, from the press at Smyrna in 1842. The final revised edition of the translations appeared in 1863. In 1865 he returned to America and died in less than two years at the home of his son, William Goodell, M. D. , Philadelphia. During his only furlough in America he published The Old and the New; or, The Changes of Thirty Years in the East (1853), and after his death there appeared (1870) a volume of his evangelistic sermons in Armenian.

Although never robust physically, Goodell was an excellent scholar and linguist, of sanguine temperament, brave-hearted, sagacious, tactful, tolerant, and humbly and sincerely religious.
On November 19 1822 Goodell married Abigail Perkins Davis, daughter of Hon. Lemuel Davis of Holden, Massachussets. His wife and seven other children survived him, one of them being Henry Hill Goodell.
