Goold Family Information

Profile manager: John Machell [send private message]

The Goold family (1400 - 1600) were resident in and around Bovingdon and Stoke Mandeville.

The will of Thomas Goold (1500-1547) shows that the family were wealthy because "considerable estates" were distributed to his eight children.

In the late 1500's the children of Richard Gould (1553-1604) immigrated to the United States; Rhode Island and New England.

The Gould family acquired the Lewtrenchard Manor estate from the Monk’s in 1626, and Henry Gould built the beginnings of the house as it is today. Henry Gould married Ann Wills, and he had their initials carved in the over mantle of the fireplace in the front hall. They mostly lived at Floyer Hayes in Exeter, until Henry’s death in 1636.

The memorial of Lieut John Gould, as shown on FindAGrave, gives information about a number of family members. John Gould

• John Gould was born in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, England. In the town was an abbey, and a register of the convent dates its foundation to 1133. A court book of a manor there says it was founded by the Doyleys and augmented by the Missendens pursuant to a vow. Sir William de Missenden gave the manor to the abbey, and much later it became the House of Brudenells. Family tradition says an Uncle of John's was Master of the House of Brudenells, possibly Henry. A letter dated March 3, 1678, says "Mrs. Mary Gould is yet living and remains single still. Henry Gould is dead almost a year since."
