Disputed Associations
An additional wife, Elizabeth (Deacon) Gould (abt.1577-1594) and son, Robinson Gould (abt.1580-1654), have been attached to Richard's profile. These associations were severed due to a lack of supporting historical records and analysis. See Research Notes.

- 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.

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]

Pedigree work by Horatio Gates Somerby. A lengthy Gould pedigree was published in 1895 Benjamin Apthorp Gould, in The family of Zaccheus Gould of Topsfield, who writes of,<ref>Benjamin Apthorp Gould, The family of Zaccheus Gould of Topsfield (Lynn, Mass. : Thos. P. Nichols, 1895), 1; digital images, Hathi Trust.</ref>
See the WikiTree category page, "Horatio Gates Somerby Fraud.
In his Gould sketch, Walter Goodwin Davis, referring to the work by Horatio Gates Somerby, "searching the appropriate probate registry, [Somerby] found some ten wills of this Gould family ... and constructed from them a pedigree which is, in all probability, sound, but the Goulds were prolific and, in my opinion, further research, which I am not prepared to do, might strengthen it ...Because [Richard Gould's] parentage is the weakest link in the published pedigree, this account begins with Richard Gould ["late of Bovington" in 1604].""
Edited to add:
In his "Ancestry and Posterity of Zaccheus Gould" (1870), Benjamin Apthrop Gould wrote, "Since the year 1854, the writer has employed such intervals of leisure as he has found available .... Though the laborious and assiduous effort of my friend, Mr. Somerby, the well known antiquarian, sundry unknown and long-forgotten records have been discovered at various places in England, which have developed the family pedigree for six generations previous to our first American ancestor and have brought to light the relationship of some of the other American families of the name ..."
