Joseph Goodrich was born on 12 March 1800.2 He was the son of Uriah Goodrich and Polly Carpenter.1 He married first Nancy Maxson on 22 December 1821.3 He married second Mrs Susan Rogers in 1859.3 He died on 9 October 1867 at age 67.2
Transcribed from Case: "at the age of 19 years he left his home in Stephentown, N.Y., and traveled on foot to Alfred, Cattaraugus County; on his arrival here, he found himself the possessor of an axe, fifty cents in his pocket, and the clothes he wore. During the next six years he cleared off two farms, settled on the second, broke up a few acres, and erected a saw-mill; his house was made of rough boards, without a floor; a blanket serving the place of a door; this was the home to which he brought his young wife. He soon after opened a small store and a temperance tavern in the place, and in addition to his general business he began buying lumber and rafting it down the Susquehanna River, but with poor success, owing to the losses not unfrequently sustained on the passage down to market. This fact determined him to seek a new home farther west, and he left for Milwaukee, and starting out from there with others, on foot, went to the DuLac Prairie; he settled here, and at once began the erection of a dwelling, to which he brought his goods and family from Alfred, N.Y., with teams, in the year 1839, to the place known now as Milton, Wis. This home served as a dwelling, store, tavern, and a place for public worship on the Sabbath.
On the first Sabbath after his arrival, both the old and the young were gathered into his house, and there they entered into a compact - professors and non-professors - to maintain religious meetings, bible-class, abstain from hunting and roaming about the fields on the Sabbath, and to watch over each other for good. Religious services were held in his house until he had finished the building known as Milton Academy, when they were held there, and continued to be until 1851. He donated twenty acres to the villiage of Milton, which now constitutes the public square; and to the cemetery association, public school, college, and one of the churches, all their grounds. One of the most conspicuous objects in the vicinity is the Goodrich Block. He represented his assembly district in the State legislature by the unanimous vote of the district. He erected Milton Academy building at his own expense; employed a principal, managed and supported the school unaided for more than eight years. He was president of the board of trustees from the time of its incorporation until 1866, when the institution was incorporated as a college. He declined the same position on the new board by reason of age. He endowed the institution with several thousand dollars, and lived to see it become one of the most flourishing in the State. He was through his whole life a genuine, practical reformer; reform was his motto. For over forty years he sustained and kept a strictly temperance hotel; a life-long abolitionist; the poor he never turned away from his door and table."4

Note: Obviously either Elijah's death date or his son's birth date is in error. Based on the marriage date given for elijah and Ruth I tend to beleive that it is his son's birth year that is in error. I think it should be 7 May 1821, but that is a guess on my part.3
