Susan Livingston Goodsell (c.1796–1864) was the wife of Dr. Thomas Goodsell of Utica, New York, and mother of engineer Jonas Platt Goodsell. Published genealogies identify her parents as Beekman Livingston and Catharine Marsh, conflicting with this record’s Henry Brockholst Livingston and Catharine Keteltas links. The Utica household is reasonably anchored, but her birth is given as 1796 or 1798. Her parentage, dates and personal activities remain qualified.
