Laurane:

Thank you for that information. I am also searching for the parents of Andrew Goodrich, Mary Ann's father. I found that Andrew was in Wapello Co. in 1855 (from a land deed when he purchased land in Warren Co). When I do a search for Goodrich's in Wapello Co, I find nothing. I will try searching by Mary Ann's name in Wapello Co. Thank you. Sometimes things are so obvious, but they go right by me! I appreciate your response.
