Isabella's last name is not Goodrich. Her last name is actually Goddard. Isabella Goddard is sister to my 3rd great-grandfather. Isabella was born in Georgia in 1835. She has an older sister named Clarinda Wyatt. Isabella can be found on the 1860 Missouri Census, Johnson, Washington County, with Theopolis and the children. If you look at her 5th child you will see his name is Landing. Landing was named after her sisters husband. Isabella's younger brother John (my grandfather) was born in the Arkansas Territory in 1837. Isabella named her first son after him. Isabella's mother's name is Mary. She was born in South Carolina. I have a letter written from Mary to the children in 1864. Isabella's fathers name was Elias Goddard. He was also born in Georgia. I hope this helps you. Constance S.
