Life

Leonard Goodrich was born in New York in 1833, a son of Elisha Bates Goodrich and Eliza Van Velsor, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the year.1 The federal census of 1850 listed him in his father's household in the 13th Ward of New York City.2 By 1855 the family had moved to Brooklyn, Kings County, where the New York state censuses of 1855 and 1865 listed him, in 1865 as "Leoneard", in his father's household in the 16th Ward.3 In 1857 his father opened a store at the corner of Stagg Street and Union Avenue, Brooklyn, which traded for forty-two years as E. B. Goodrich & Son.4 Inference The "Son" of the firm's name was probably his brother John Oscar, whose obituary credits him with more than forty years in the grocery, hay and grain business; no record links Leonard to it.4 The census of 1865 is the last record of him found so far, and the tree gives no marriage, children, date or place of death.5
