In the 1870 census, Gustavus was 66, a millwright living in Greenwich, Washington County, NY. With him were wife Hannah (35), daughter Alice (15), son Gustavus (10), Monroe (9), Major (5), and Asa (2). He was born in Vermont; his wife and children in New York. Did not check that parents were of foreign birth; did not check that he and family could not read and write.29

Another Gustavus Goodrich shows up in 1850 census in Clinton, Clinton County, NY, giving place of birth as New York and age as 22. He is a laborer for Tabor (?) Jewet, a carpenter/joiner. Could be an earlier son Gustavus? The kids with Hannah were pretty late in his life.

In the 1830 census, there is a Gustavus Goodrich in New York City, aged 20-30, with a wife same age, with a son under 5. 14th Ward. Two Gustavuses show up in Manhattan City Directories. In 1829-30, Gustavus A. Goodrich is a baker at 49 Beekman. In 1839-40, Gustavus A. Goodrich is on p. 285 as a cabinet maker, address 242 Mott, home 14 Hamersley.

Longworth’s city directory lists a Gustavus A. Goodrich in 1835 in New York City, and lists him as a carpenter.

That Gustavus Goodrich is also mentioned in Niles’ Weekly Register, August 12, 1837, p. 375 (Google books: http://www.google.com/books?id=GrERAAAAYAAJ&dq...goodrich&f=false )
He is mentioned here:
“Politics of the Day
from the New York Evening post
The Old Eighth!!!
Tremendous meeting of the democracy!!
An overwhelming meeting of the democratic republican citizens of the 8th ward, held pursuant to a call from their delegates to Tammany Hall, was organized by appointing Daniel E. Delevan, esq. president, Messrs. J. B. Vanderpool and Charles Stuart, vice presidents and Gustavus A. Goodrich and Wiliam Riley, secretaries.”

The New York (NY) Spectator for Monday, July 6, 1835 lists under “Board of Aldermen, July 1,” “Joint Ballot. Inspectors of Lumber - Nathaniel D. Brush was appointed for the 10th district, in place of Daniel McGee; Isaac Brown, Gustavus Goodrich, and Mr. Lamereux, also appointed inspectors of lumber.” This was also reported in the July 6 edition of the New York Evening Post.

This same Gustavus Goodrich is mentioned in the “Historical Index to the Manuals of the Corporation of the City of New York” for 1842. He is listed on p. 119 as an assessor for the 8th ward.

He is also mentioned as a member of Washington Lodge, No. 21, F.&A.M. (again, Google Books), as Gustavus A. Goodrich, having become a member in 1832. (This Lodge appears to be in New York City.) (http://www.google.com/books?id=PkEuAAAAYAAJ&dq...goodrich&f=false )
It says “Gustavus Adolphus Goodrich was a native of Vermont, and was born about 1803. He was a cabinet maker by trade. He came to New York City about 1830, and worked at his trade and also at times as assessor in the Eighth Ward until 1845, when he entered the United States Customs Service. Bro. Goodrich was raised in Union Lodge No. 5 (now No. 2) of Middlebury, Vermont, on April 4, 1825, and withdrew April 2, 1827. He affiliated with Washington Lodge on June 5, 1832, and served as Master during 1839, and withdrew from the Lodge in 1850, at which time he seems to have left our city.”

In “Minutes of the Common Council of the City of New York, 1784-1831, Volume 17” (Google Books), in the entry for 16 June 1828 it appears that he is being listed as a returning fireman (“The Chief Engineer presented the following Return of Firemen which were appointed and the Resignations accepted.”) to Company No. 36. He is given as “Gustavus A Goodrich Carpenter 17 Dominick St.” (17 Dominick Street, just south of Spring, is now roughly the location of the Trump International Hotel.)

In 1841, in the New York Morning Courier of August 4, 1841, Gustavus Goodrich is listed among the gentlemen sworn in as Grand Jurors for the term before Judge Noah. “His Honor Judge Noah then delivered his charge to the Grand Jury, and dwelt particularly on the practice of granting licenses to the many grog shops now in the city, and particularized them as a great evil to the community, and also called their attention to the law prohibiting the selling of ardent spirits on a Sunday, only to travellers. And remarked that the majority of the complaints made at our Police Offices for assaults and batteries, generally speaking, originated from the violation of this law, and that the laborer was permitted to indulge in drinking on the Sabbath, after receiving his wages on Saturday night, and that many families were suffering in consequence of excessive indulgence in ardent spirits by the father. He likewise charged them respecting the law to prohibit the erection of wooden buildings within the fire limits of the city; also on the law against usury, the law against the selling of lottery tickets, and to preserve the purity of our elections. After some further remarks applicable to their duties, the Grand Jury retired to commence their labors.”

Then in 1850 he shows up in the New York Mercantile Union Business directory, where he is now listed under both “Flouring and Grist Mills” and “Wool Carding & Cloth Dressing” for Washington County, in Putnam.

There is also a Gustavus Goodrich who served as a captain in the Civil War (died March 17, 1863 at Racine) from Wisconsin; wife Jane Penman Thompson is on pension index. Could he be a son from my Gustavus’s first marriage (if there was one) in NYC? (Can’t view the WI census images). He is mentioned as buried in Racine in “the History of Racine and Kenosha Counties, Wisconsin,” Western Historical Company, available through Google Books. Possibly a member of the county board in 1859. He also ran the post office in Whitesville, Racine, Wisconsin, in 1855 and 1859 directories.
A DAR Lineage Book that I can’t open in Google books gives a snippet: Gustavus Goodrich (1826-63) m. 1850 Jane Penman Thompson (1824-93).

There is a reference in a gedcom for the Marshall family on Ancestry.com which includes information on Gustavus A. Goodrich, wife Hannah Jane, daughter Alice B. Goodrich, which cites this source: Kingsbury, Frank B, Marshall Family Record. Keene, NH:Walter T Nims, 1913. LDS Film#1697880.

In the 1850 census, Gustavus is in Putnam, with Hannah Jane, 16; William, 16; and Frederick, 8 Relationships are not given. His employment appears to be “dittoed” as a mechanic. He gives his age as 47, and his real property as $2500.

In the 1860 census, Gustavus is in Putnam, living at the household of Alex Anderson, a miller, age 28. Gustavus is given as 65 (must be 55), a millwright, has an estate worth $100 (not real property), and was born in Vermont. With him are Jane (presumably Hannah Jane), 27; Ellen, 9; Lucinda, 7; Alice, 5; Charlotte, 3; Gustavus, 1; and Sylvester, possibly 50 or 58 (possibly the brother given elsewhere as Servatus?).23 Alex Anderson also appeared in the 1850 census in Putnam, living with his own family at age 19. Thought there might be some relational clue there but didn’t see it.

In the 1870 census in Chicago Ward 14, there is a George Goodrich, a railroadman from NY, who has a son named Gustavus H. George is young enough to be the elder Gustavus’s son, or could be a much younger brother or other relative.

A Field Genealogy (available through Google Books -- “Field Genealogy” by Frederick Clifton Pierce -- lists a member of the Field family #3610 named Gustavus Goodrich Field (Anson, Benjamin, David, David, Ebenezer, Zechariah, Zechariah, John, John, Richard, William, William), son of Anson and Achsah (Benton), b. in Madison, Conn. Nov. 3, 1818. He m. Zuni Sperry of Canaan, Conn. However, in the listing for Anson Field, Gustavus’s middle name is given as Goodwin.

There are numerous entries in Ancestry’s City Directories for other Gustavus Goodriches, need to run through them.
