Elizur Goodrich

Elizur Goodrich (March 24, 1761 – November 1, 1849) was an eighteenth-century American lawyer and politician from Connecticut.

After a short time he was removed from the office of collector by Adams' successor, President Thomas Jefferson.

The discussion of this act elicited from Jefferson a letter in which he avowed his approval of removal for political opinions.

He was featured among the 1,700 Congressmen who are on the List of members of the US Congress who owned slaves at one point in American history.

His brother, also named Chauncey Goodrich, was a member of the United States House of Representatives.
