* On coming into New-England, the first settlers of Wethersfield, (among whom were William Goodrich and his brother John Goodrich, ) located themselves at Watertown, Mass .. with a view of making that place their permanent residence. In a " Record of the Grants and the Possessions of the Lands" in that town we find recorded to William Goodrich, six several tracts of Land, viz :
"1. An homstall of 5 acres.
2. Three aeres of remote meadow.
3. Ten acres and half of upland beyond the further plain.
4. Twenty-five acres of upland in the fourth division.
5. Three acres of plow-land on the further plain.
6. One acre of meadow at Beaver Brook."
In or about the year 1636, the Watertown Company, or the largest portion of them, including the brothers Goodrich, removed from Watertown to Wethersfield, Conn., and there planted themselves anew, and in the distribution of the town among the settlers, William Goodrich had assigned to him several lots.
It is not known from what part of England the Goodrich brothers emigrated. Enquirers on this point may derive aid from the following facts, viz :

In 1678, there died in Hedgesset, Suffolk county, England, childless, Rev. William Good- rich, a minister of the established Church, leaving a will, in which he bequeathed certain specified real and personal estate to his wife, Rebecca Goodrich, during her natural life, with remainder to one of the sons of his brother, John Goodrich, and one of the sons of his brother, William Goodrich, naming them.
Mrs. Rebecca Goodrich, widow of Rev. William Goodrich, died in November, 1698, and was buried on the 18th day of the same month, after which Jonathan Goodrich and John Goodrich, the former son of said John, and the latter son of said William Goodrich, were entitled to receive, and did, I believe, receive under the will aforesaid, about two hundred pounds sterling, each. Soon after the death of his aunt, Jonathan Goodrich took steps to possess himself of his devised estate.
Rev. William Goodrich's will is dated May 12, 1677. In it he appoints his wife Rebecca, sole executor, and his " kinsman," Henry Bull, senior, of Bury, in the county of Suffolk, and his " cousin," John Goodrich, eldest son now living of his "'cousin," Robert Goodrich, of Haughley, overseers of the same.
I suppose Rev. William Goodrich, married a sister of John and William Goodrich, brotli- ers, and hence entitles them his brothers.
In a letter written by said Henry Bull, of Bury, to John Goodrich, of Wethersfield, and dated July 16, 1678, to inform him of the death of Rev. William Goodrich, the writer says, "My wife, who was Jane Coates, and is your cousin, desires to be kindly remembered to you."
* Capt. Allen had but two children, both daughters, Rebecca and Elizabeth. The latter was married to Nathaniel Blagrove, of Bristol, in the county of Bristol, Mass.
