IN memory of
Widow
MARY GOODRIDGE
relict of Mr.
BENJAMIN GOODRIDGE
late of Westminister
who died
20 March 1806
in the
82 year of
her age.
[Note: birth about 1725. The "late of Westminister" [-sic-] description is ambiguous. Was Benjamin late of Westminster, did Mary lately return from Westminster to Westmoreland, or did Mary die in Westminster (this last more of a modern interpretation of "late")? The death information on Mary's husband seems confused, which doesn't help. The NEHGR article gives none, the Goodridge Genealogy says Benjamin Sr. died Westminster 29 Apr 1805. Benjamin's Find A Grave page say "burial details unknown". Vermont Vital Records show Benjamin Goodridge dying on 7 Sep 1805, 8 Sep 1805, and 30 Sep 1805. The gravestone and probate in Westminster are for Benjamin Jr., who had a first wife Hannah, but married a second wife Polly Cooper (i.e., Mary) who is mentioned in the probate. This second wife having the name Mary may have caused problems with attributing death dates to the correct Benjamin? Further investigation shows one Westminster deed selling land as Benjamin Jr. in 1805, the rest all referring to simply Benjamin. The Benjamin Jr. deed (Vol. I, p. 65) on 1 Mar 1805 sells 2 1/2 acres of lot 7 in the fifth range of 100 acre lots. This lot (along with part of lot 6)was purchased by Benjamin Goodridge (no Jr. and Sr.) of Westminster 6 Dec 1796 (Westminster Deeds Vol. H, p. 8). Both lot 6 and 7 are mentioned in the probate of Benjamin Goodrich [-sic-] Jr. (e,g., see description of widow's dower Windham County Probate Vol. 2, p. 407). So identifying which Benjamin was involved in the 14 deeds from 1781 to 1801 that say neither Jr. or Sr. is problematical, but some reason to think all the records in Westminster apply to Benjamin Jr. The gravestone of Mary late of Westminster is clearly the mother, not the second wife of the son, based on the age, but perhaps she was simply living with her son as a widow, and the father never lived in Westminster?]
