    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Mary is identified as "my daughter Goodrich" in the will of her mother, Elizabeth (Foote) Welles of Wethersfield, 28 Mar 1678, no probate act, Hartford District Probate, abstracted in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNETICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:379-81 (FHL #974.6 P2m). The given name of this dau is deduced as Mary from a bequest in the will to a grandson, John Stoddard. John was born at Wethersfield, 12 Apr 1646, the son of John and Mary Stoddard ("Wethersfield Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1634-1868," Barbour Collection [typescript, 1927; Conn. State Library, Hartford], 252 [FHL #002982]). John Stoddard, Sr, was dead by 20 Dec 1664, when his inv was taken, and widow Mary was granted adm of the estate, 2 Mar 1664/5. See abstract from Hartford District Probate in Manwaring, DIGEST, 1:241-42. On 4 Apr 1679 John Goodrich and Mary Stoddard, both of Wethersfield, made a pre-nuptial agreement(Wethersfield Deeds, 3:53 [FHL #005992]). Hence, Mary Foote married (1) John Stoddard, and (2) John Goodrich.
      MAR #1: No mar rec found. John and Mary Stoddard are the parents of John Stoddard, called grandson in the will of Elizabeth (Foote) Welles. See discussion, above.
      MAR #2: Actual mar rec not found. See pre-nuptial agreement, 4 Apr 1674, above.
      MAR #3: No mar rec found. Lt. [Thomas] Tracy received an equal share with the other children of Elizabeth (Foote) Welles in the distribution of her estate in 1683. See abstract from Hartford District Probate in Manwaring, DIGEST 1:380-81. Furthermore, Thomas Tracy sued the estate of John Goodrich in 21 Jan 1685, suggesting that the heirs of his wife Mary, widow of John Goodrich, had withheld part of the estate she brought into the marriage (Wethersfield Deeds, 3:230 [FHL #005992]).
