    "… Nicholas Gozzard, said to be son of Daniel Gozzard of Hartford (Heritage of Granby 166 f.). His birth date has not been found but he died intestate at Simsbury, 3 Aug. 1692. … His probate shows administration granted to the widow Elizabeth, with John Slater and Ebenezer Hill as overseers (C. W. Manwaring, Digest, 1:453). If Manwaring is wrong with the name Ebenezer and it should be, rather, Eleazer, then the two overseers were brothers-in-law of the intestate. The inventory came to £206/10, and the heirs were named as the widow Elizabeth, sons Nathaniel (aged 16), John (aged 11) and daughter Elizabeth (aged 21). Some have stated that the surname Gozzard became Goddard, but we have seen no evidence of this, and in 1790 there were 16 Gozzards in Connecticut, all in the Town of Granby and all living near together so that all of the names occur in the same column of the printed census."
