Life

Ann Maria Goodrich was born in New York in March 1832, a daughter of Elisha Bates Goodrich and Eliza Van Velsor, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date.1 Inference The month and year may come from the federal census of 1900, which asked for both and which is attached to her profile.1 A newspaper notice of her first marriage calls her the "eldest daughter of Elisha B. Goodrich".2 In 1850 the federal census listed Ann M. Goodrich in her father's household in the 13th Ward of New York City.3

The Brooklyn Evening Star of 15 July 1852 printed, under the heading "Married" and the place "At Williamsburgh, Long Island", the marriage of "Peter A. Weeks to Miss Anna Maria, eldest daughter of Elisha B. Goodrich".4 The notice gives no date for the wedding, and the tree's "July 1852" fits its publication.4 The New York state censuses of 1855 and 1865 nevertheless list a "Maria Goodrich" in her father's household, by then in the 16th Ward of Brooklyn, Kings County.5 Inference Either the census-takers recorded her under her maiden name, or the indexers gave her the household's surname, or she was living with her parents again after the marriage; the original pages would show her age and any married name.5 The tree records no children of the marriage and nothing more about Peter A. Weeks.6

On 28 May 1871 she married John Barry, in a New York City marriage record that names her "Anna Maria Goodrich Weekes" and gives her parents as Elisha B. Goodrich and "Ann Eliza Velson"; the tree places the marriage in Brooklyn.7 Inference Her use of the name Weekes in 1871 suggests that she had been known as Mrs. Weekes until then; whether her first marriage had ended by death or divorce is not recorded.7 John Barry had been born in New York City in January 1834, according to the tree.8

In 1900 the census listed Anna M. Barry in the household of John Barry in Neptune Township, Monmouth County, New Jersey.9 It is the last record of her found so far, and the tree gives no date or place for her death.10
