- THOMAS1 GOODRICH
Birth. 1614 (based on court deposition in Lower Norfolk Co Court)
14 April 1615 Thomas Goodrich baptized, son of John Goodrich, Alderman of Bury St. Edmonds and his wife Martha (Bury St. Edmonds, Suffolk, England Parish Records via email from Joe Neilson)
Death. 1679 (based on will)
Marriage. Anne ___ (Thresh?) (c1634 - by c1696) by January 1652/3
The marriage date for Thomas Goodrich and Ann is based on the 1655 estimated birth date for son Benjamin Goodrich. Benjamin Goodrich was not claimed as a headright by Thomas Goodrich; therefore he was undoubtedly born in VA. Benjamin was definitely born when Clement Thresh gave him a black heifer in February 1656 [5/6 or 6/7?]
The birth date for Ann Goodrich assumes she married Thomas Goodrich at 18, although she could have been several years younger or older. However, an estimated birth date of by c1648 for her second husband Edward Hill strongly suggests Ann was born 1634 - 1640. It is very unlikely Edward Hill would have married a woman significantly older than he was. Further, a 1680 entry shows Ann was the mother of Benjamin, eldest (surviving) child of Thomas Goodrich; therefore she was definitely the mother of all of the children Thomas Goodrich named in his will. The fact that four of the six children were underage in 1679 and that that Ann lived about 20 years after her first husband strongly supports the conclusion that Ann was considerably younger than Thomas Goodrich.
