    Notes:

    Notes from Wikitree:
    Profile lacks support for birth and parentage. WikiTree reports she is Judith Langley, or Judith De Langley, or Judith Marks, born at King's Langley, Hertfordshire, 2 July 1588, to a father said born, married and died at Sandy, Bedfordshire, whose other reported children were born at Sandy. Their baptisms were published as Bedfordshire [England], Frederick George Emmison, ed., Bedfordshire parish registers (Bedford, County record Office, 1931), A4-A6; digital images, InternetArchive, but no such entry appears in 1588 for Judith (see 1588 entries). For the other children, see Swithin Langley (1574); Agnes Langley (1576), Thomas Langley (1578), Millicent Langley (1580), Robert Langley (1582), John Langley (1586) and Edmond Langley (1589).

    In the comments to a related G2G, another collaborator suspects she is "Judith Bigge baptised in 1589 in Abbots Langley." Such a 1589 baptismal record exists, but there is also a Judith Biggs baptized 1587 Hertford.

    No contemporaneous source for marriage date and location. WikiTree reports Judith married John Gould at Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, 5 April 1603 as Judith Marks and as Judith Langley), or at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire in 1604 (Judith De Langley).

    If this couple married in 1603, it would seem noteworthy that their eldest child was baptized 1611.

    Davis and Jacobus. There are two credible published accounts that identify John Gould and his wife as the parents of three New England immigrants--Nathan, Sarah and Zacheaus. While the two reports disagree about the further identity of immigrant Nathan, neither identifies a last name at birth for mother Judith.

    Walter Goodwin Davis (1959) identified the wife of John Gould and mother of three immigrants as "Judith ____."'[13] Davis published an abstract of her will,[14] writing further,
    ... of [her] three children who came to New England before 1650, Nathan founded a family in Amesbury, the married name of Sarah is not known, and Zacheus had died unmarried.
    Davis also memorialized that Horatio G. Somerby had constructed Gould pedigrees. Davis felt additional effort was required to prove Somerby's work. (Somerby is known to have fabricated some of his research. See the WikiTree page, "Horatio Gates Somerby Fraud.)
    Donald Lines Jacobus (1960) also called her Judith (ie, Judith _____), who is identified as the wife of John Gould in his will of John Gould dated 30 June 1633, proved 18 July 1633.[15] Jacobus reports husband, John Gould, died at King's Landing, Hertfordshire, 1633; buried there 11 July 1633, and that she remarried as Judith Gould of "King's Langley" by license dated 27 July 1639, Simon Gould of Bovingdon.[16] According to Jacobus, Simon was a second cousin of John Gould.

    Will of Judith Gould
    Judith's will was dated 6 May 1650, proved 3 September 1650. As abstracted by Walter Goodwin Davis,[11]

    Judith Gould of Watford, co. Hertford, made her will May 6, and it was proved Sept. 3, 1650. She left to her son Abel £400 and a little box at the house of her cousin Gase and all that was in it. To her daughters Lydia and Elizabeth, £300 each. To Hannah and Elizabeth, daughters of her daughter Hannah, £40 between them. Her son in law George Younge owed her £100 of which her executors should claim only £40. To the own children of her son Nathan in New England, £40. To the children of her daughter Sarah, £60 if her [the testatrix's] son Nathan had not divided the goods her son Zacheus left him when he died equally between him and his sister Sarah, but, if they were equally divided, then this £100 [sic] was to be equally divided for the use of their children. If her son Abel should die before coming of age, £300 should be divided between her daughter Lydia and Elizabeth, £50 given to her daughter Hannah, £20 to her daughter Marie, and £30 sent to New England to be equally divided between the own children of her son Nathan and her daughter Sarah. To Master Goodwinge, minister at Watford, £5. Residue to her executors; son Abel and daughters Lydia and Elizabeth. Witnesses: Ralph King, Thomas Barrabee.

    Family
    Children of Richard Gould,

    Richard Gould, born about 1578; died 1629; [4] married 16 May 1625, Mary Golden.[5] Richard is mentioned in the will of his uncle, Henry Gould, of Berkhampstead St. Mary, alias Northchurch, dated 3 January 1603, proved 10 April.[6]
    Jeremy Gould, born about 1581, died [1654?];[7] married Chesham, 27 November 1604, Priscilla Gover, the daughter of William Grover,[8] of Codmore.[9][10] He "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." [11]
    John Gould, born about 1584, died 1650 [sic]; married Judith _____.[12] John was "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." [13]
    Zaccheus Gould, born in 1589; died Topsfield, Massachusetts, in 1668; married Phebe _____.[14]. Benjamin Apthorp Gould wrote, "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."[15]
    Priscilla Gould; married John Putnam.[16][17]
    Sara Gould.[18][19]
    Research Notes
    Wife Elizabeth Deacon? A previous version of this profile reported a wife Elizabeth Deacon. This relationship was unsupported and in conflict with historical records shown to be about Richard. That Gould-312 left a widow, Elizabeth, is seen, and a Gould-Deacon association is known as well, albeit much later. It would not seem that Elizabeth (Deacon) Gould (abt.1577-1594) could have been the widow who received a citation in 1597 to appear in court. See Read H. Putnam, "Priscilla, Wife of John Putnam," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 119 (1965):174-176, in particular p. 175; digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors.

    Son Robinson? A previous version of this profile reported a son Robinson Gould (abt.1580-1654)/Gould-23451. No historical support was shown for this association and the relationship was severed.

    Conflicted wife or more than one? Profile reports his wife as "Mary (Colder) Gould," but estate record abstract published in Putnam's 1965 article reports widow as "Elizabeth Goulde." See Read H. Putnam, "Priscilla, Wife of John Putnam," The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 119 (1965):174-176, in particular p. 175; digital images by subscription, AmericanAncestors.

    Recorded "as of Bovingdon, in the parish register of Chesham, Co. Bucks, in 1604; there deceased. This note was published by Benjmain Apthorp Gould in 1895.[20] It is found in the parish register entry for the marriage of Jeremy Gould to Priscilla Grover.[21]

    Did Sara marry Nathan Ware? Putnam notes, "Sara Gould may have married Nathan Ware of Chesham, where their first child Nathan was baptized 10 Oct. 1613."[22]
