Mary was born probably about 1622/23 based on her approximated marriage by 1643. She was definitely born in England, but no baptismal record was found in Shalford, as was the case for her older siblings.
Mary’s mother, Elizabeth Welles, named her daughter Goodrich and her children, as beneficiaries in her 1678 will. She also made a bequest to Mary’s son John Studder.[1]
Mary married three times.[2]
Mary (Foote) Stoddard was alive 2 Sept., 1685, when she received an accounting concerning the estate of her husband "Goodrich"[4] Thomas Tracy died Nov. 7, 1685. When his estate was distributed, no mention of his widow was made. It can be implied that she died before then.[6]
Children by 1st husband John Stoddard.
