"In 1736 Richard Butler deeded to David Edwards land in Wethersfield. This deed was witnessed by Capt. David Goodrich and Charles Goodrich. The autograph of Charles Goodrich to this deed, teacher in the Upper Houses, is given elsewhere. Its is very evident that he was a brother to William, Sarah, David, though his name is not given in the Goodrich Genealogy."[1]
