Thank you, Wendy for pointing out that the Find A Grave link I posted was for the wrong Elisha. I see now that the correct Find A Grave link that is a source on this Elisha has the information that he married "Mrs. Elizabeth Fairbanks nee Buck." Concerning Elizabeth Fairchild (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Fairchild-1031), besides the page in Jean Fairchild Gilmore's book that states she married Daniel Crofut, I did find one FamilySearch record (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZLR-TGK) that lists Daniel Crofut as her spouse. But there were no sources to back that up. I agree more research is needed.
The biography on FindAGrave (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93563050/elisha-goodrich) for Elisha Goodrich states that he was the husband of Lucy Goodrich, not Elizabeth Fairchild. According to "Early Fairchilds in North America and their Descendants" by Jean Fairchild Gilmore (https://archive.org/stream/EarlyFairchildsInAmericaCompiledByJeanFairchildGilmorePub.1991Searchable/Early%20Fairchilds%20in%20America%20-%20Compiled%20by%20Jean%20Fairchild%20Gilmore%20-%20Pub.%201991%20%28Searchable%29%20-%20#page/n15/mode/1up) Elizabeth Fairchild was the wife of Daniel Crofut.
Hi Barbara, The FAG link is another Elisha Goodich https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Goodrich-151

As far as spouse Elizabeth, the only solid records I'm finding are name Elizabeth. I'm finding unsourced suggestions her LNAB was Buck, she married a Fairchild, and then married Elisha Goodrich. Goodrich Family in America lists Elizabeth Fairchild, but whether the linked parents are correct is questionable. I tried finding the marriage record reported as 12 Sept 1747, but I didn't find it. So, I think we can say more research is needed.
