Note: Case has Hezekiakh's birth date as 29 Feb 1769. Since 1769 was not a leap year this has to be an error. I have assumed the year to be 1768, but this is strictly a guess on my part. Also note that the youngest child Jerusha was born 20 months after her fathers death. Either her birth date is in error or his death date is, or she is not his child.

Chauncey Goodrich1
M, b. 20 October 1759, d. 18 August 1815
Reference=LWC653
Chauncey Goodrich was born on 20 October 1759 at Durham, Connecticut.2 He was the son of Elizur Goodrich and Katherine Chauncey.1 He married first Abigail Smith.3 He married second Mary Ann Wolcott, daughter of Gov. Oliver Wolcott and Laura Collins, on 13 October 1789.3 He died on 18 August 1815 at Hartford, Connecticut, at age 55.2
Transcribed from Case: "graduated at Yale in 1779; was tutor there for the next two years, and then began the practice of law in Hartford, where he soon rose to eminence; was a member of the State legislature in 1793, and in 1794 was elected to congress, where he served six years.
("From Appendix to Hollister's "History of Connecticut":)
"For this station he was peculiarly qualified, not only by the original bent of his mind and his habits of study, but also by the fact that having married into the family of the second Gov. Wolcott, he was brought into the closest relations with public men and measures, which naturally led him to familiarize himself with all the great questions of the day. This led him, from the time he took his seat in Congress, to become intimately acquainted with the plans and policy of the administration, and he gave them his warmest support.
"A party in opposition to Gen. Washington was now organized for the first time in Congress. Mr. Goodrich took a large share in the debates which followed, and gained the respect of all parties by his characteristic dignity, candor, and force of judgment, and especially by his habit of contemplating a subject on every side and discussing it in its remotest relations and dependencies. Mr. Albert Gallatin, then the most active leader of the opposition, remarked to a friend near the close of his life that in these debates he usually selected the speech of Chauncey Goodrich as the object of reply, feeling that if he could answer him he would have met every thing truely relevant to the subject which had been urged on the part of the government.
"In 1801, he resigned his seat in Congress and returned to the practice of the law at Hartford. The next year he was chosen to the office of councillor (afterward senator) in the State legislature, which he continued to fill until 1807, when he was elected to the Senate of the United States. During the violent conflicts of the next six years he took an active part in the discussions which arose out of the embargo, the non-intercourse laws, and other measures which led to the war with Great Britan.
"The same qualities which marked his early efforts were now more fully exhibited in the maturity of his powers, while the whole cast of his character made him peculiarly fitted for the calmer deliberations of the Senate. He had nothing of what Burke calls 'the smartness of debate.' He never indulged in sarcasm or personal attacks. In the most stormy discussions he maintained a courtesy which disarmed rudeness. Mr. Jefferson playfully said to a friend during this period, 'That white-headed Yankee from Connecticut is the most difficult man to deal with in the Senate of the United States.' In 1812, he was chosen mayor of the city of Hartford; and on the year following, being elected lieutenant-governor of his native State, he resigned his seat in the senate. The two last-named offices he retained until his death.
"At a meeting of the legislature in 1814, he was appointed a delegate to the celebrated Hartford Convention. Though in feeble health, he took a large share in the deliberation of that body, and especially in those healing measures which were finally adopted."4
Note: There are no children listed in the Case book for Chauncey or either of his wives.

Elizur Goodrich was born on 24 March 1761 at Durham, Connecticut.2 He was the son of Elizur Goodrich and Katherine Chauncey.1 He married Anne Willard Allen of Great Barrington, Mass. on 1 September 1785.3 He died on 1 November 1849 at New Haven, Connecticut, at age 88.2
Transcribed from Case: "graduated Yale in 1779, and was tutor there for the next two years; received LL.D. in 1830.
"On the landing of the troops, July 5, 1779, he joined a company of about a hundred in number, who went out, under the command of James Hillhouse, to annoy and retard the march of the enemy. Toward evening, when the town was taken and given up to ravage and plunder, he was stabbed near the heart by a British soldier, as he lay on his bed in a state of extreme exhaustion, and barely escaped with his life."
He began the practice of law in New Haven in 1783; was chosen a member of congress in 1799, and in 1801 was appointed collector of the port of New Haven; was also for many years in the legislature of Connecticut; was judge of the county court for thirteen and judge of probate for seventeen years, and mayor of New Haven from 1803 to 1822; was professor of law in Yale College for nine years, resigning the office in 1810.
Mr. Goodrich was distinguished for exact scholarship, the clearness and strength of his judgment, and the ease and accuracy with which he transacted business. "His reading was extensive and minute; and what is unusual, he maintained his acquaintance to read the writings of Cicero, Livy, Sallust, Virgil, and Horace till his eighty-ninth year, with all the ease and interest of his early days."
His cordial manner, extensive information, and genial humor, combined with unusual conversational powers, made his presence in society particularly agreeable. He professed his faith in Christ soon after leaving college, and his life throughout was that of a consistent and earnest Christian.4
