==Biography==
Goodrich was born in Sempronius, New York in 1807. In 1815, the family moved to a farm in western New York state, where Aaron attended country school and read law books with enthusiasm. At about age 20, he moved to Tennessee, completed his studies, and began practising the law.〔(Biographies of Judges and Justices of the Minnesota Appellate Courts )〕
He was a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1847-1849. He was appointed as Chief Justice of Minnesota Supreme Court on March 19, 1849 by President Zachary Taylor.〔(58 U.S. 284 )〕 He presided over the first court session in Stillwater, Minnesota Territory in August 1849, deciding 60 cases in six days.〔(Building Location Details )〕 However, he failed to see out his four-year term. Several prominent Minnesota attorneys demanded Goodrich be removed for "incompetency, unfitness and improprieties committed on and off the bench,"〔(MPR: Appellate court judge charged with swindling woman )〕 in 1851.〔(MPR: For the Record )〕 After a failed attempt at impeachment, President Millard Fillmore used his executive power to remove Goodrich from office; Goodrich subsequently took the matter to court in an attempt to obtain the salary for the remainder of his term.〔 He was a freemason,〔(Grand Lodge Of Minnesota )〕 and in July 1849, became one of the founding members of the local Masonic Lodge (Saint Paul Lodge Number Three http://www.saintpaullodge.org).〔(Saint Paul Lodge Number Three - Minnesota's Oldest Masonic Lodge )〕 He was also a unionist, and anti-abolitionist,〔(Tennessee State Library and Archives: History and Genealogy - Manuscript Materials on Microfilm 100 - 199 )〕 and a founding member of Minnesota Historical Society〔(Minnesota Prehistory )〕 and Minnesota Republican Party.〔(Twin Cities Liver: History of St. Paul Street Names )〕 Goodrich was a Minnesota delegate to the 1860 Republican National Convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln, but cast his vote for William H. Seward.〔(Welcome to the home of the Goodrich Family Association - Person Page 153 )〕 At Seward's behest,〔See footnote 45 at http://www.lib.rochester.edu/index.cfm?PAGE=470〕 Goodrich was appointed Secretary of the United States legation in Brussels, Belgium, by President Lincoln in 1861, remaining there until 1868.〔
