Generation 2

JOHN GOODRICH (d. 1680) of Wethersfield

Parents: Unknown

John Goodrich died in Mar or Apr 1680. [Ref, 2;275] He married first Elizabeth Unknown. She died on 5 Jul 1670. [Ref, 2;275] He married second Mary (Foote) Stoddard in 1674. [Ref, 2;275] Mary was the daughter of Nathaniel Foote and the widow of John Stoddard. [Ref, 2;275] Mary married third Thomas Tracy of Norwich. [Ref, 2;275]

The identity of John Goodrich's wife is unknown. In one place, Savage says that she is the son of Thomas Edwards. [Ref, 2;275] Jacobus points out that, according to the Wethersfield records, Thomas Edwards died in 1683 at the age of 62. Thus, he was not old enough to have been the father of someone who was married by 1645. [Ref] In another place, however, Savage says that she is the sister of Thomas Edwards. [Ref, 2;104] This is possible, but there does not appear to be any evidence.

John was of Wethersfield in 1643. [Ref, 2;275]
