Ralph Bigland, in his manuscript collections in the College of Arms, wrote that Goodere's sons Edward and John succeeded their murdered uncle rather than their father. But Burke thought that the baronetcy descended to Samuel and to his sons after him. In his "Baronetage" of 1741, Arthur Collins wrote that the baronetcy was extinct, while Thomas Wotton ("Baronetage", 1771) thought the baronetcy was "attainted". Treadway Russell Nash in his "History of Worcestershire" (volume i, page 972) says that Sir Edward Dineley-Goodere succeeded his grandfather, which is definitely wrong since his uncle was certainly the second baronet. In the opinion of John Knox Laughton, it is probable "that the baronetcy became extinct in 1741, on the sentence of Samuel Goodere, though the twins may have been allowed the title by courtesy".
