    • ABSTRACT OF THE FAMILY RECORD.
  • THOMAS GOULD, of Bovingdon, in the parish of Hemel Hempsted, and county of Hertford, seems to have been born as early as the year 1455. His last will and testament is dated 1520, August 29, and was admitted to probate Sept. 28, thirty days later. In this will he bequeaths property to his wife Joan, and to seven children, five of whom had not attained the age of legal majority. The eldest two children were sons.
  • RICHARD GOULD, of Bovingdon, was the second son of Thomas, above named, and his wife was likewise named Joan. He was born, apparently, not later than 1478, and died in 1531 ; his will being dated August 25th and proved October 11th of that year. His widow died in 1537.
  • https://archive.org/stream/ancestryposterit00ingoul#page/8/mode/1up
  • THOMAS GOULD, of Bovingdon, son of Richard and Joan, was born in or before the year 1500. His will is dated in 1546 and was proved in 1547. By his wife, Alice, he had seven children living in the year 1537, and eight at the time of his own death ; only two of them being at that time under eighteen years of age. The first four of these children were sons ; the third being
  • RICHARD GOULD, of Stoke Mandeville, who was born as early as 1530, and married (perhaps as his second wife), Jane, widow of ---- Weden. By her he had two sons, Richard and Henry.
  • RICHARD GOULD, of Bovingdon, born about 1553, was the elder of these sons, and his descendants appear to have been prominent among the early settlers of New England. He was father of
    • 1. Jeremy, who married Priscilla Grover, came to Rhode Island, and after his wife's death returned to England, leaving behind him three sons, the eldest of whom, Daniel, married in 1651 Wait Coggeshall, and became the ancestor of the large and highly respectable family of Goulds of Rhode Island.
    • 2. John, of the "Corner Hall," in Hemel Hempsted, and of King's Langley, — possibly also himself a colonist of New England. His youngest son, Zaccheus, died in New England unmarried, and letters of administration on his estate were granted to his elder sister, Elizabeth, in England. Other children of John also came over.
    • 3. ZACCHEUS, our ancestor, who was born in 1589 and died in 1670 at Topsfleld. The stones may still be seen in the Topsfield cemetery which probably mark the places of burial for himself and his wife Phebe. In company with Messrs. Zaccheus Gould, his descendant of the sixth generation, and Samuel Todd, his descendant in the seventh, I exhumed these stones, hoping to find some inscription, but without success.
  • HENRY GOULD, younger brother of the last named Richard, was born about 1555. His posterity appear to have remained in England, residing mostly in Buckinghamshire, at least for the next three generations.

    • FIRST GENERATION.
  • 1. ZACCHEUS GOULD, born about 1589, resided at Hemel Hempsted and Great Missenden, in England, came to New England about 1638, established himself finally at Topsfield, and died there ab. 1670. By his wife Phebe, who died 1663, Sept. 20, he had the following children : —
    • 2. Phebe, bapt. at Hemel Hempsted, 1620, Sept. 27, m. Dea. Thomas Perkins of Topsfield. She was living in 1681.
    • 3. Mary, bapt. at Hemel Hempsted 1621, Dec. 19; m. John Redington of Topsfield.
    • 4. Martha, bapt. at Hemel Hempsted, 1623, June 15 ; m. John Newmarch of Ipswich ; died 1699.
    • 5. Priscilla, m. John Wildes (b. 1620) ; d. 1663, April 16.
    • 6. John, b. 1635, June 10-21; m. 1660, Oct. 12, Sarah Baker; d. 1709-10, Jan. 26.

This alliance between persons residing so widely apart suggests the possibility of some kinship between the Goulds of Topsfield and those of Stoneham. The children of this marriage were Samuel, Abraham, b. 1692, and Isaac. (See Vinton's "Giles Memorial," p. 170.)

1. Name: The name GOOLD, GOOLDE, GOLD, GOLDE, and GOULD can be traced in England to an early period, the family being of that ancient Normandy stock which was transplanted to English soil with the coming of William the Conqueror.

John Gole or Gold was a crusader of the 13th century. Collinson in History of Amersetshire (2:172) gives the following account of him:

us gave him an estate in Scarborough (by deed still extant) about 1229In the time of Henry III, Ralph de Vallibus, being obliged to send men in the service of the King when he undertook a crusade to the Holy Land, amongst others despatched on

John Gole out of his manor of Scarborough, who went, accordingly, to Jerusalem, and was present at the siege of Damieta (1217) where he fought valiantly; and after his return, as a reward for his merits, this Ralph de Vallib.

The Goulds are descended form this John Gole, granted an estate in the County of Somersetshire for his valor. Various branches of the family figure extensively in the annals of that county, as well as Hertford, Devon, Buckingham, and London.

Some held important offices in the army and navy, others were prominent as merchants, bankers, and members of the learned professions.

In 1235 a branch of the Gould family was seated at Bovington, Hertfordshire, and from the middle of the 15th century the line can be traced without interruption from Thomas Gould of that place, born about 1455, through Richard, whose memorial tablet of brass in the Bovington church contains the following: "Of your charitie pray for the soul of Rychard Gold and Joan his wife, which Ric. deceased ye xxiv day of August in 1531, whose soul Jehu pardon," Thomas, who died in 1547, Richard who died in 1558, and Richard born about 1553 who remove to the parish of Chesham, County Bucks, to the immigrant sons, Zaccheus and Jeremy who came to New England.

THOMAS GOULD, of Bovingdon, in the parish of Hemel Hempsted, and county of Hertford, seems to have been born as early as the year 1455. His last will and testament is dated 1520, August 29, and was admitted to probate Sept. 28, thirty days later. In this will he bequeaths property to his wife Joan, and to seven children, five of whom had not attained the age of legal majority. The eldest two children were sons.
