William GOODRICH [1, 2, 3, 4] |
- John and William Goodrich, brothers, located first at Watertown, Mass., where it has been said six tracts of land were granted to William, but they were evidently granted to another William Goodrich with wife Margaret, who died in 1647, which is proved by the fact that he was holding them after 1644. (Bond's Watertown, p, 777; Watertown Records, 1 p. 102, of lands, etc.) he was among the very first settlers at Wethersfield, being one of a small party known as the adventurers who wintered there before the arrival of the main body. The next year, 1636, the Watertown Company or the larger part of it, including his brother John, migrated to the site of the new town and there planted themselves anew. In the distribution of the town lands among the settlers, he had several lots assigned to him. He drew land in the allotment of 1670, but his homestead of 6 acres he bought of Thomas Ufford, which was on the west side of Main Street, diagonally across from the meeting house. He also bought 117 acres from Ufford on the east side of the river. (Stiles Ancient Wethersfield.) He was Freeman, May 15, 1656; Deputy to the General Court for five sessions from May, 1662 to October, 1666, inclusive, a member of the Grand Jury in May, 1662, and Ensign of the Wetherfield trainband in May, 1665; one of Mason's Army in the Pequot War of 1637.
