Mariam's name could be Marion or Mariann, as I have seen it in all three forms on official documents. In a letter her father wrote, he calls her "Mariam" and so do I.
2nd Daughter of Richard and Jane (Archdale) Wray. 1853 birth year is approximate. Born in "English Prairie" which is present day Spring Grove. She married Willis Goodrich, a railroad engineer, on October 26, 1878 in Vermilion County, Illinois. She died young at age 37, leaving Willis to raise their three daughters:
Henrietta
Alice
Ethel
Mariam's Siblings:
Edith
Helen ("Nellie")
Emma
Archdale
a brother who died young.
Mariam's sister Nellie married her husband's brother John C. Goodrich of Missouri. And sister Emma married a John E. Goodrich who I believe was no relation to the other Goodrich brothers. How coincidental that three Wray sisters all married men with the last name Goodrich.
