Research Notes

Unsupported other last name of Jordan removed.

Listed as last child in George Brown Goode book after Martha who is estimated born 1680, so using 1682 for Ursula till we get better info.

Named in 29 Mar 1743 will of husband, so died after that date.

Ursula Goode first married Samuel Branch. Her second husband was Walter Scott. Please provide sources to prove she married John Harris.

Looking only for any source document (marriage, will, deed, court order) proving John Harris and Ursula Goode were married. I didn’t see sources in the linked document.

Hi Richard, I am a DNA connection. Ursula was one of my many great+ grand ancestors and I have autosomal matches that ties me to this branch. Not meaning to imply she didn’t marry John Harris; just wondering what exists to back the connection. When (or if) I have the time to concentrate on this branch, I will contribute.
