Anna was a daughter of Stephen and Lois (Bidwell) Goodrich; born 02 Nov 1796 in Middlebury, Addison, Vermont where the family had relocated by 24 Feb 1795, and there was baptized with siblings Lois (b. 08 Jun 1799), Chauncey (b. 17 Dec 1803) and Lucy (b. 10 Aug 1805) on 10 Aug 1806. The family lived on a 100 acre homestead in Middlebury from 1796-1810 and, after Stephen had sold his final property in Middlebury in a deed dated 06 Feb 1811 to Dr. William Bass (MVLR 6:301), the family moved to Locke, Cayuga, New York in 1811.


In the 09 Jan 1834 marriage approval for their oldest daughter Julia (photo attachment), husband Thomas King stated her full name as Julia Ann Jerusha King, which reveals that Anna was the namesake for the first middle name and his mother Jerusha (Hathaway) King was the namesake for the second middle name.


Anna married Thomas King, son of Ebenezer and Jerusha (Hathaway) King, ~1816 in Cayuga County, New York; they were both residents of Locke at the time. Soon afterward Thomas and Anna relocated to Cuyahoga County, Ohio and settled in Orange, Cuyahoga, Ohio in 1818, according to the History of Cuyahoga County (1879, pp 491-492; photo attachment). Their children were Julia Ann King b. 1817, Eliza Jane King b. 1821, Mary Patricia King b. 1825, and Thomas C. King b. 1829.


In the former Orange Township, section 32, Thomas owned 60 acres as of 1852, and 102 acres as of 1858 (photo attachment; the farm was located near or at the site of what is now 2800 Ohio County Road 91 in Chagrin Falls, Cuyahoga, Ohio). In 1874, Thomas; age 82, still owned 20 acres and had deeded 50 acres to Thomas C. and Mary Ann (Hitchcock) King, who had married in 1851 and in whose household Thomas and wife Anna resided in the 1870 US Census, and Thomas had deeded 30 acres to daughter Mary (King) Hill, who had married George Hill in 1843 and settled in Mayfield, Cuyahoga, Ohio; Mary and George had an eldest son named Charles Hill. In each of the US Census records from 1850-1870 in which Thomas and Anna King appeared, Anna was always listed as born ~1796-1797 in Vermont.


The death record of Anna (photo attachment) states she died 21 May 1873 in Orange, Cuyahoga, Ohio aged 78 years, though her actual age at death would have been 76 years, 6 months, 19 days.


The death record of her husband Thomas states that he died on 09 Feb 1879 in Orange, Cuyahoga, Ohio aged 84 years, 7 months, 20 days, which coincides with date of birth 20 Jun 1794, which has the correct date except the year should be 1792.


Thomas and Anna were buried in the Orange Hill Cemetery (which is at the current intersection of Ohio County Road 91 and Fairmount Boulevard in Hunting Valley, Cuyahoga, Ohio), which would have been an approximate half-mile wagon ride or walking distance from their farm (photo attachment).


Though no tombstone or other surviving burial marker for Thomas or Anna (Goodrich) King can be seen in Orange Hill Cemetery today, Find-a-Grave tombstone photo volunteers who have visited this cemetery indicate it is relatively small, and has many unmarked burial spaces between the tombstones that are still standing or that are otherwise visible (as seen in the photo attachment).
