01. Richard
Goodrich
[1]
was born between 1590 and 1613 in Ribston, Yorkshire,
England. The book "The Goodrich Family in
America" by Lafayette Wallace Case, 1889, page 350 mentions this Richard as
"an original settler of Guilford." No parents are listed. He died on May 7,
1676 in Guilford. The same book shows he married Dinah on June
7, 1646. She was born in 1620. Children for this marriage are
given as Bartholomew (9-3-1647), John (3-13-1650), Rachel (9-24-1653), and
Elizabeth (10-8-1655). Note that Lydia is not listed among their
children and one researcher I have contacted claims that Lydia was the
daughter of Richard's unknown first wife. Note the birth date for Lydia
(abt. 1643) would make her older than any of the children of Richard and
Dinah and she would have been born before their marriage. Richard was the twelfth
signer of the Guilford Plantation Covenant in June 1639.
The
children of Richard and an unknown first wife are:
| 1 |
Lydia Goodrich (See Below) |
The 4 children of Richard and Dinah as listed in "The Goodrich
Family in America" are listed below.
References for each of
their families are noted. Note that Bartholomew is not listed
The "Goodrich
Family Association Newsletter", December 2019 notes that Bartholomew is
not his son.
