The remains were those of 29-year-old Henry Goodsell, who died in the wreck of a ship dubbed the Oriental off the coast of Brigantine in 1844, the Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center said in a statement. The schooner was transporting about 60 tons of marble to be used in the construction of Girard College when it went down, according to reports from the time.
