See our Bio for both Mary Ann (probably) Childress AND Mary Ann Bickley, now proven wife of Dale. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The question of Mary Ann Childress Carter Goodrich - not proven, but strong circumstances: (a marriage to Solomon has to be back in either Louisa or Amelia County) b) According to Dr. Miller, Solomon died Sept. 28, 1786 - proven false by above citation from LVA. Fantasy: "His will, probated 2 October 1786, divided a good estate between his wife Mary Ann and ..... " Fact: "I leave to my wife Maryann Carter one shilling to be paid out of my Est. Item, whereas my wife has left me and cohabits with another Man if she should have any Children after this I leave to Each of them one Shilling to be paid out of my Est" c) Fantasy: "Note from Van A. Stilley, Wilmington, NC. "The widow Mary Carter married John Goodrich on 20 September 1786 in Amherst Co. Apparently the marriage ended the court adultery matter as recorded in the November court order". Fact: p. 572. Nov. Ct. 1786: "The Presentment of the Grand Jury against John Goodrich and Mary Carter the wife of Solomon Carter for living in adultery is continued." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now we have some intrigue from The Childress - which is about "95% Proof" that wife of our Solomon was Mary Ann CHILDRESS Carter Goodrich, who is now PROVEN to have had the Bastard John Childress before the start of her affair with John Goodrich!
