    [This source consists of selected records of rejected application, abstract of genealogical information pertaining to Sarah presented here.]
    1 Jul 1856: Jacob Fuller resident of Seneca, Ontario, NY aged 64 only child of sarah Fuller and Jacob Fuller formerly of Royalston. Father resided in Rehoboth and served in Revolution (service details), removed to Royalston about 1779, married his mother then Sarah Goodale in Royalston 22 Aug 1791, and father d. Royalston 3 Apr 1800. Sarah afterwards married Nathaniel Woodcock, no children, he died about 2 years later. Sarah then married Joseph Goodale who died about 3 years later at Warwick. From 1828 Sarah remained a widow and died Orange 16 Feb 1847.
    Jul 1756: Joseph Fuller aged 83, based on family records of his fathers famiy, b. Rehoboth 14 May 1773, moved to Royalston about first of the year 1779, where he deied April 1800. He believes his own mother dies 1780 or 1781. Then widow Sarah Goodale kept fathers house til her married her at his own house by Elder Moses Kinney Aug 1792 or 1793. Mother in law had one child by her former husband Goodale and that one has been many years dead [as of 1856?]. About a year after marriage had a son Jacob Fuller Jr., still living. After father's death she married Nathaniel Woodcock who died about 2 years later, then married Joseph Goodale who was a brother of her first husband. He died 1828 or 1829. She died spring of 1847.
    31 Jul 1856: Edson Clark aged 71, of Royalston, was present when Capt. Fuller died and was buried, that he left his second wife, widow Sarah Goodel when he married her, a widow, with one child a body called Jacob Fuller Jr about 8 years old. Edson Clark nmarried Lipha Fuller a daughter of Capt Fuller by his first wife (who dies about 20 years ago), after Capt Fuller's death so has remained in intimate connection with the family. The widow Sarah Fuller married Nathanil Woodcock about 1st Jan 1809 until he died "about firve or six years" after. She then kept house for a widower, Joseph Goodel, and they were married. He was about 90years old and lived only about 3 years. She died in the year 1847. A brother of hers, Mr. Blanchard, who was older the she, lived with me, but died before Joseph Goodel died. Capt' Fuller was from Rehoboth and his first wife died in Royalston.

  3. In the probate of Jacob Fuller, his widow Sarah has her brother "Benj Blanchard" deliver her petition to the court. When she married Jacob Fuller, she was named Sarah Goodell. Timothy Goodell married a Sarah Blanchard. Much speculation about who she was, was finally answered by the Revolutionary Pension document cited above.
    Sarah's relation with Timothy Goodell was very disfunctional, and documenting everything has been left for a descendant to do. In Worcester Probate Case 24596, the selectman of Athol petitioned to have a guardian appointed for Timothy as a spendrhrift, but depositions claimed he was extremely industrious, all the while documenting dalliances with other women and frequent absences. In 1788, in a deposition of John Goodall and Seth Twichell, when asked if for the past 18 months, Timothy had supported his wife, the answer was no, and said that he said "he meant to get rid of her if it cost him all he had because She was not a proper Woman". In 1780 Joanna & Abigail Goodale deposed that Sarah Goodell, Timothy's wife, admitted that the child she had carried belonged to another man. In 1788, Benjamin Blanchard of Athol deposed that in 1777 Dorcas Pike was living at Timothy Goodale's and was seen sleeping in the same bedroom, and in various states of undress with Timothy, and was delivered of a child during that time, and even after she moved out, he was known to deliver supplies to her.
    Although Timothy Justis Goodell's birth in Athol names Timothy and Sarah as his parents, this is obviously much in doubt. He appears to be the Timothy Goodale that married in Weathersfield, Vermont, 29 May 1810 Lucretia Young.
    One website claims Timothy Sr. died in 1790, but the probate file never mentions a death, and divorce seems likely?
