"… discovery of a gravestone in taking down an old house in Guilford. This stone, which has now been placed in Alderbrook Cemetery, is inscribed 'here lyeth ye Body of Mary, ye wife of John Goodrich, who died ye 25 December, 1722, in ye 61 year of her age.' The will of John Allen or Alling of New Haven, who died in 1690, referred to one of his daughters as Mary Goodrich, and two other daughters married Guilford men (Wilcoxson and Scranton). Mary Allen was born at New Haven, 23 Feb. 1661 [1661/2], which agrees with the age on the stone. This important discovery proves that Mary's husband was not, as sometimes alleged, Bartholomew Goodrich of Branford. Record evidence indicates very strongly that the wife of Bartholomew Goodrich was Mary Bartholomew."
