DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Polly by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Polly:
Although Daniel Wilder did marry a Molly Gould -- at Putney, VT, 11 Mar 1784, what is the evidence that she was the daughter of Jacob Gould (who was married to Elizabeth Hale). There is no record of a Molly in their family. There are records of nine children and the births of these children are noted in the records as 1st child, 2nd child, etc. to the 9th child without of Mary or Molly or Polly. Although she seems to be Molly Gould, there does not seem to be any evidence that she is a daughter of this particular Jacob Gould.
Here is the marriage:
"Vermont Vital Records, 1760-1954", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XFVV-MVR : 19 February 2021), Daniel Wilder and Molly Goold, 1784.
I would suggest to correct this as giving her a maiden name of Gould, and disconnecting her from Jacob Gould as her father. In addition, there is evidence of Jacob Gould, Elizabeth Hale, and children being in Rindge, NH until 1788 so it would be unlikely a daughter in the family would be married in Putney in 1784.
According to North American Family Histories and US and International Marriage Records, Daniel Wilder (Wilder-2065) Was married to Polly Gould. Their daughter, Polly, was married to Jonathan Houghton Jr., who I am adding to this tree.

Here is the family record from the Rindge town records listing the children in this family, and as can be seen there is no Molly. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-L99S-XFZ6?cc=1987741&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQPMX-F4ZR
