• Notes

  Notes from wikitree: "Richard Gould, of Bovingdon, born about 1553 ... his descendants appear to have been prominent among the early settlers of New England."[1] He died Bovingdon, Hertfordshire, England, before 25 May 1597, leaving widow, "Elizabeth Goulde."[2] Richard is buried, possibly in St Lawrence Churchyard, Bovingdon, Dacorum Borough, Hertfordshire, England [3] 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] Ancestry and Posterity of Zaccheus Gould. By Benjamin Apthorp Gould, Essex Institute historical collections, Volume 11, By Essex Institute, Salem Mass Published by the Essex Institute 1878. 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 Topsfield. 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. Richard Gould, son of Richard and Jane (Weeden) Gould, was born about 1553. He removed to the parish of Chesham, County Bucks, where he died in 1604, leaving four sons - Richard, Jeremy, John and Zacheus. Of these, Jeremy and Zacheus removed to New England.
