    • 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. ______________________________________________
