No clue on any of them, but I swear (not very often!) that Jud Delos Seeley (any relation
to those mentioned?) supplied my grandfather Guy Dewey with wine! (It was prescribed
medicine for that METHODIST grandpa!) no kidding.

Subject: [CaPaNe] Gooodrich to Lugg Deed - 1873
I have an April 7, 1873 deed I have for a Nelson Twp.property sold by my great-grand
uncle, Charles Burget Goodrich & wife, Charlotte Stewart, to Anthony W. Lugg. We saw
Anthony's name on the previously discussed deed of Robert Campbell's 8 acres.
Charles and Charlotte were from Delaware Co., NY, but are buried in Nelson Cem. Few of our
readers are Goodriches, but many are cousins or desc. of Anthony Lugg. Or, you may be
familiar with some of the other names mentioned.
I don't see any total size of the lot listed. I think I still have an old trigonometry
book around, so if I want to know badly enough, I could figure it out from the property
description.
This time I'm not going to bother to type up the degrees and rods of the property
description, just cover the names mentioned. Probably nobody cares about the direction of
each zig in the property line or the length of each zag. Unless someone asks for it.
In listing adjacent properties, it speaks of:
1) Elwood Steavens'[sic] lot controlled by James Ward of Seely & Lugg;
2) Shoe Shop occupied by Seely & Lugg;
3) Store house now occupied by Seely & Crandall; &
4) Elwood Steavens' lot formerly owned by Frances Ward
I'm not familiar with James or Frances Ward. There are a number of Ward-Goodrich or
Ward-Burgett marriages, but I don't yet have either James' or Frances' name on
file
It mentions a tavern house and barn on the property, and J. S. Goodrich was a witness.
Presumably that's C. B. Goodrich' brother, James Seth. Charles is listed as an
innkeeper on the 1870 census and farmer in 1880, which makes sense if he sold the tavern
in '73.
I vaguely remember Chas. & Charlotte's dau, Alma Goodrich (1864 - 1951), wife of
Charles H. Smith (1863 - 1939).
My sister remembers Alma's brother, David. I'm not aware of any children for him.
I don't believe any of Alma's children are living. They were: Hugh Smith;
Viola Smith;
David Smith, b. 1891;
Carl Smith; &
Burr G. Smith.
How about the Seely & Lugg or the Seely & Crandall business names?
I have tons of Seely, Lugg and Crandall names in my database, but I'm not sure which
Seelys and Luggs owned them.
Perhaps some of our readers know more about the Seely & Lugg business or the Seely
& Crandall storehouse. What was it a storehouse for?
