I have looked in Fairbairn's which lists mottos and crests https://archive.org/stream/fairbairnsbookof01fair#page/n5/mode/2up/search/goodhand/ and can't see a motto related to the Goodhand arms. The motto which appears on the non-quartered arms in the link posted earlier has other names against it.

After the death of Ann Waterman's father the arms which are on the little shield (the inescutcheon) will become one of the main quarters when the arms are inherited by a son or sons of Ann and William. So the son of William and Ann (there was only one I think called Charles as William's other sons were by his other wife and therefore not entitled to these specific arms) would quarter the arms as follows:

GOODHAND (gloved hands on chequy) (top left)       HARVYE (lions) (top right)
WATERMAN (crescents) (bottom left)                         GOODMAN (gloved hands on chequy) (bottom right)

Depending on who Charles married and what children he had would determine how the arms might change for the next generations - or stay the same - and who would inherit them - and whether you - as his 10th GG child had a claim to them!

Is there any way to find out if there was a family motto linked to this coat?

There may be a motto, but not a "family" motto.
Coats-of-Arms (including a motto) belong to a named individual and his descendants (usually male descendants).
