Sarah Knox-Goodrich
Sarah L. Knox-Goodrich (February 14, 1825 – October 30, 1903) was a women's rights activist who worked for women's suffrage in California in the late nineteenth century. Her first husband, William Knox, was a business man, banker, and state politician. Her second husband, Levi Goodrich, was an architect in Southern California. Knox-Goodrich used her wealth and her social position to push for equal employment, school suffrage, and voting rights.
Sarah Louise Browning was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, U.S., on February 14, 1825, the daughter of William Winston Browning and Sarah Smith Farrow. When Sarah was 11, her family moved to a farm in Lincoln County, Missouri.
William J. Knox was born October 20, 1820, near Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky, and married Sarah Browning on April 1, 1846. In 1850, they traveled to Nevada City, California by wagon train. Knox went into business selling water to gold miners during the California gold rush. In 1854, Knox was elected to the California Assembly.
In 1862, the Knoxes moved to San Jose in 1864. Knox was a co-founder and president of Santa Clara County's first bank. He was elected State Senator for Santa Clara county and, in 1866, introduced Senate Bill No. 252 that gave married women the right to control their own estate.
Knox died in San Francisco on November 13, 1867. William and Sarah had one child, Virginia, who married Cabel H. Maddox of San Francisco. Maddox was elected to the state senate in 1882.
Levi Goodrich was born in New York City on January 1, 1822. He studied architecture in the studio of R. G. Hatfield in New York before moving to San Jose in 1849. Goodrich was one of the first licensed architects in California. The buildings he designed include the Santa Clara County Courthouse and jail, the State Normal School, the Bank of San Jose, and the courthouses of Monterey and San Diego counties.
