Misc. Notes
I cannot be certain this Gustavus is related to my Gustavus Goodrich, but the name is unusual enough and the timelines work. One question is whether Gustavus senior would have named a second son Gustavus prior to the death of the first one (the other Gustavus was born app. 1860).
In 1850, there is a Gustavus Goodrich aged 22 working as a laborer for a carpenter in Clinton, NY. That would mean he was born before Hannah Jane was born, but when Gustavus the elder was 25 or so. Could work.
In 1860 Gustavus Goodrich was living in Raymond, Racine County, Wisconsin. He was 35 and had real property worth $1200, but no occupation was listed. His place of Birth was given as New York. With him was wife Jane, age 36, from Rhode Island; son Philo, age 9, born in Wisconsin, and daughter Hettie, 4, born in Wisconsin. Also with them was Louisa Jewett, age 27, born in Vermont, listed as “teacher of Com. School.”

Twenty-second Infantry. -- Cols., William L. Utley, Edward
Bloodgood; Lieut.-Col., Edward Bloodgood; Majs., Edward D.
Murray Charles W. Smith.
This regiment was organized at Camp Utley, Racine and was
mustered in Sept. 2, 1862. It left the state Sept. 16 for
Cincinnati to aid in defending the city against a threatened
attack.
On the 31st it was assigned to the 1st brigade, 1st division,
Army of Kentucky, and for a time performed guard duty at
Nicholasville. It was then sent to Danville, where it was
occupied in scouring the country in pursuit of the enemy until
Jan. 26, 1863, when it started for Franklin, Tenn.
On March 4 part of the regiment under Col. Utley joined a
large foraging expedition to Spring Hill and during the march
participated in two lively skirmishes. On March 25 about 300
men of different regiments under Lieut.-Col. Bloodgood, while
guarding the railroad at Brentwood, were surprised, captured
and sent to Richmond but were soon exchanged.
The regiment then moved to Nashville and in April to Lookout
Valley, near Chattanooga. It left Lookout Valley on May 3,
1864, to take part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign.
It had a conspicuous part in the battle of Resaca, this being
the regiment's first real battle. Its loss was 11 killed and
64 wounded. It participated in the actions about Dallas and
was engaged in three smart skirmishes during the siege of
Kennesaw Mountain. For its unflinching bravery in the battle
of Peachtree Creek, the regiment was highly praised by Gen.
Hooker.
It shared in the movements of the 20th corps during the siege
of Atlanta and encamped in that city Sept. 2. It remained on
garrison at Atlanta, occasionally engaging in foraging
expeditions, until Jan. 2, 1865, when it joined the general
movement north to Richmond, participating in the battles of
Averasboro and Bentonville.
It was in the grand review at Washington and was mustered out
June 12, 1865. The original strength of the regiment was
1,009. Gain by recruits 143; substitutes 130; draft, 223.

From a biography of George Andrew Day transcribed from A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, written and compiled by William E. Connelley, Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka. [Revised ed.] Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1919, c1918. 5 v. (xlviii, 2530 p., [155] leaves of plates): ill., maps (some fold.), ports.; 27 cm. :
At Burlington, Wisconsin, in 1862 he enlisted in Company H of the Twenty-Second Wisconsin Infantry under Captain Gustavus Goodrich and Colonel William L. Utley. This regiment was ordered to Kentucky, crossed the Ohio River at Cincinnati, went on to Lexington, then to Danville, and at Louisville took a steamer for Murfreesboro. Its first fighting was done at Spring Hill, Tennessee, where an overwhelming Confederate force captured the entire brigade. The prisoners were taken to Richmond and Mr. Day spent twenty-two days in the famous Libby prison until paroled on the first of April. He was sent to the parole camp at Benton Barracks in St. Louis, and was exchanged at Camp Jackson. With his regiment he re-entered service, going to Louisville, then to Franklin and on to Murfreesboro. At the latter point Mr. Day was stricken with the smallpox, was sent to hospital and never rejoined his regiment. He was in a hospital almost to the end of the war, being detailed as a nurse after his own recovery, then as a ward master and finally as hospital steward. He reached home after his army service on November 25, 1864.
