He m. on Mar. 28, 1678 in Charlestown, Mass. (by Rev. Mr. Danforth), Rebecca Allen, dau. of Capt. John and Sarah Allen.

Case in The Goodrich Family (1889) and Stiles in his Ancient Wethersfield (1900) both claim John was born in Wethersfield May 20, 1653, although Stiles gives his entry as "20 May [1652-Weth. Rec.] 1653." There is no birth entry for John in the Wetherfield printed vital records, his date of birth taken from his father's Nov. 16, 1676 estate inventory ("John Goodrich is 24 years old the 20th day of May next.") Case further claimed John died in Wethersfield Sept. 5, 1730 whereas Stiles claimed he died "circa 1737, ae. 84." No probate record can be found; both John and wife Rebecca are assumed interred in Wethersfield with no surviving gravestones.
