Life

Emma Woodward Wright was born in Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, on 7 June 1856, according to the FamilySearch tree, which cites no source for the date.1 The federal census of 1860 listed Emma Wright in the household of Henry J. Wright in the Town of Deerpark, Orange County, New York, and the censuses of 1865 and 1870 in Henry Wright's household in Brooklyn, in 1865 in the 15th Ward.2 On 4 April 1875 she married John Oscar Goodrich, a son of the Brooklyn grocer Elisha B. Goodrich, in a New York City marriage record; the tree gives the date instead as 20 October 1875, without a source.3 The state census of 1875 already listed her as Emma Goodrich, with her husband, in a Brooklyn household indexed under an "Elija Goodrich".4 New York City birth records name her as the mother of children born on 14 February 1876 and 23 July 1877, the second time as "Emma Woodhall Wright", and the index of a birth on 15 October 1881 names the parents as John Goodrich and "Emma Rind".5 Inference That child was probably hers too, the son John Jay whom the tree gives as born in 1881.5 Three sons died young: Benjamin in March 1877, Charles Milton in December 1878 and Oscar Bates in May 1886.6 Her husband died on 26 April 1900, leaving her and four children, and the census of that year recorded her as "W Emma Goodrich" in Brooklyn.7 The state census of 1905 and the federal census of 1910, the latter in the 28th Ward of Brooklyn, again indexed her under her own name, as Emma and Emma W. Goodrich.8 She is named as mother in the New York City marriage records of her children Marion (1907), Edna (1911) and John Jay (1913), in the first as "Lenna Wright", and in the death records of Marion Eliza Scott (1913) and John J. Goodrich (1930).9 She died on 12 August 1917 and was buried at Riverhead, Suffolk County, according to the tree, which gives no place of death; a Find a Grave memorial to Emma Woodward Wright Goodrich is indexed.10
