Joseph was born on the land that his father was deeded in early spring when they arrived in Canada in 1808. In the book "The life and times of Joseph Gould, the family changed their name from Gold to Gould because of Joseph. "I asked my father why he wrote his name Gold, which was a metal, when Gould was a man's name. He said that the family had always written it so, as far back as he had any record. 'Well,' I replied, 'I think I shall write my name Go-u-l-d, Gould, as I want a man's name and not the name of a metal."
