Elizaeth Goodale (1729-1773) inherited two "Negro servants" from her husband John in 1771. His will also provided that the "servants" would in turn be left to their son Jedediah.

"John Goodale owned one [enslaved person] named Phillis." - Bourne, p. 408

Frost's probate abstract states (on pp. 665-666) that Goodale leaves "to my wife Elizabeth the income of all of my home place with the service of my Negro servants ... till my son Jedidiah be of age, if she continue a widow, using same to bring up my children under age, but after son Jedediah is of age, she shall have 1/2 the income of the home place, 1/2 the house & barn & the service of my 2 Negroes for widowhood only, the other moiety of the house, barn & home place going to son Jedediah Goodale when he is of age, with both Negro servants."

Note: It is assumed here, but not confirmed, that Phillis was one of the two "Negro servants" noted in John Goodale's will.
