Colonel Thomas Goodrich, Gentleman; son of John Goodrich the Alderman, Gentleman of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England, was baptized at St. Mary parish in Bury St. Edmunds on 14 Apr 1615. Y-SNP testing has established that Y-descendants of the immigrant Thomas Goodrich (John, Adam, Robert) of Old Rappahannock, Virginia share the Y-DNA haplogroup E-L1019 of the Felsham, Suffolk, England family with Y-descendants of the immigrant brothers John and William Goodrich (John, William, Robert) of Wethersfield, Connecticut and Y-descendants of the immigrant William Goodrich/Goodridge (William, William, Robert) of Watertown, Massachusetts, which enabled the search for the ancestry of Colonel Thomas Goodrich to be shifted away from the titled Goodricke ancestry and focused exclusively on the Felsham Goodrich ancestry.

Research notes from Steve Goodrich

Admittedly, Ann is named in the 16 Feb 1656/7 will of Clement Thresh as Ann Goodrich, with no specific statement that Ann; wife of Thomas Goodrich who is also named in the will, is the daughter, Ann (Thresh) Goodrich, of Clement Thresh.

A more convincing piece of evidence can be seen in the superimposed 3-character acronym ATG (Ann Thresh Goodrich) that can be seen in a number of deeds, power of attorney, and other legal records Ann signed or co-signed before she became a widow.

Two of the best and most unambiguous examples of this superimposed 3-character monogram, in which the A, T, and G are clearly and unmistakably visible, are in a deed dated 04 Nov 1668 that Ann co-signed with Thomas Goodrich (Essex/Old Rappahannock County, Virginia Land Records, volume 6, page 9) and a power of attorney immediately following signed by Ann only on the same day (Essex/Old Rappahannock County, Virginia Land Records, volume 6, page 10).
