Regarding John Gould, your earliest American ancestor, you mentioned he removed to Connecticut, then to Long Island. I have a number of ancestors from Southampton, Long Island and so have several books on the subject. One by George Rogers Howell, The Early History of Southampton, L.I., New York; with Genealogies, Weed, Parsons, & Co., 1887. On p. 427 is the following:
“34. Gould, John, tailor. In 1686 he buys of Richard Post his N.W. corner (former residence of Josiah Foster), and sells the same 1692 to Walter Melvine, who sells the same to Samuel Butler 1697. He removed probably to Elizabeth [N.J.] where according to Hatfield, appears one of this name 1694. But in April 1697, he lived (or one of that name) in East Hampton.”
The book has a rudimentary map diagram of the street layouts and houses. The house in question is on p. 154 if you’re interested. The book is available at quite a few libraries, see WorldCat. Digital copies may or may not have the map diagram
Then I have a question; one of my collateral ancestors married a Rev. Ebinezer Gould. He was b. Guilford, CT, son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Gould; A.B., Yale College ,1723, A.M.; Ord. Greenwich (Cumberland) N.J., 1728-1739; inst. Southold, L.I., N.Y… Do you know if he is related to your John Gould and if so, how? Sources also if you have them. The above information is from: Frederick Lewis Weis, The Colonial Clergy of the Middle Colonies; New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, 1628 – 1776, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1978, p. 60. Thanks
Jim
