Read More	John Goodrich, eldest of two sons of Josiah Goodrich by his 2nd wife Sarah Mix (eldest dau. of Rev. Stephen Mix of Wethersfield), b. of record May 16, 1728 in Wethersfield, Conn. (bapt. May 19, 1728 by his maternal grandfather, Rev. Stephen Mix.) John is included by name in his father's will of 1731 at Tolland, Conn. and by name in his widowed mother Sarah's Nov. 9, 1747 will at Wethersfield. John died testate and unmarried in Wethersfield, Conn. on Mar. 19, 1755 at 26 years of age. He left his entire estate including land in Middletown (the inventory includes six notes payable to John Goodrich totaling £1,273.2.6.) to younger brother David Goodrich. No gravestone for him is recorded in Tillotson's 1899 inventory of Wethersfield cemetery inscriptions, but is assumed to be interred in a now unmarked grave at Wethersfield Village Cemetery. The inventory of John's estate [Hartford Probate Packet #2283] is highly suggestive he attended college, the nearest being Yale in New Haven, but he does not appear in the biographical works regarding Yale students and graduates of that era. In the 1739 will of his maternal uncle, Rev. Elisha Mix, John received all of Elisha's medical books, including one of significance perhaps only to the present writer. This was Dr. Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica, more commonly referred to as a Treatise on Vulgar and Common Errors. This work was first published in England in 1646. In 1633, Dr. Thomas Browne was professor of medicine at Leiden University while in that same year Dr. John Robinson, Jr. re-entered Leiden University after graduating in 1630 with a degree in medicine from the University of Caen, France. Both Browne and Robinson would relocate to Norwich, England to practice medicine. In 1656, Dr. John Robinson, Jr. published in Norwich selected rebuttals to Dr. Browne's writing in "Vulgar and Common Errors" with Robinson calling Browne "my fellow collegian and friend." Dr. John Robinson, Jr. was the first born and eldest son of Rev. John and Bridget (White) Robinson last of Leiden, Holland. Isaac Robinson, Dr. John Robinson's only surviving brother, is the progenitor of all known American-born Robinson surnamed descendants of the Separatist pastor in Leiden of the core Pilgrims that sailed in 1620 on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth Colony. 5/15/2017
