pretace^ 
 
 The following brief record of the descendants of 
 Richard Gould, of Chatham, Mass., is the result of 
 the combined efforts of Mrs. Seth C. Ames (Abbie 
 Eldredge Gould), at whose suggestion the work was 
 undertaken, and the writer, with the kind assistance of 
 relatives whose names appear in its pages. Another 
 incentive to the preparation of a genealogj^ was a 
 desire on the part of the writer to unravel the tangle 
 of his wife's numerous "cousins,'' whom he met during 
 his early visits to Chatham, and who form a substantial 
 part of the population of the town. The death of 
 Mrs. Ames in 1895 left him with incomplete data, to 
 pursue his task alone, and at somewhat of a disadvan- 
 tage from his residence at a distance from the sources 
 of information. This has caused a delay in publication 
 of the booklet, and though undertaken as a labor of 
 love and personal recreation, it is now finished and 
 distributed among the descendants of Richard Gould, 
 in the hope that it may be of interest and practical 
 use to the older members, as well as instructive to 
 present and succeeding generations. 
 
 Blank pages are inserted on which to record addi-

 tional names, births, deaths, marriages and corrections, 
 
 for the writer has not had the time to properly revise 
 
 and correct much of the data that has come into his 
 
 possession before putting it into type. 
 
 If his work shall prove of interest to, and be in 
 
 a small measure appreciated by, those into whose 
 
 hands it may come, he will feel fully repaid for the 
 
 time spent in its preparation.

ZaccbcwB Goulb (1589^1668.) 
 
 Richard Gould, of Chatham, Mass., was a descen- 
 dant, eight generations removed, of Zaccheus Gould, 
 of Topsfield (now Ipswich) Mass., where the latter 
 died in 1668. 
 
 The ancestry of Zaccheus can be traced with cer- 
 tainty only to Thomas Goold, of Bovingdon, England, 
 who was born not later than 1455, and died about 1520. 
 
 Zaccheus was born in 1589, in England, and resided 
 at Hemel Hempstead and Great Missenden. He came 
 to New England about 1638, and probably lived a 
 short time at Weymouth, then at Lynn, finally estab- 
 lishing himself at Topsfield. He had five children, 
 four of whom were girls, the only son being named 
 John. Five of John's eight children were boys, and 
 each was the founder of a large family or tribe, the 
 line of our ancestor, Richard, coming from John, the 
 eldest of the five.

 Richard Gould, of Chatham, Mass., whose one 
 hundred and thirty-nine descendants are enumerated 
 in the following pages, was born in the latter part of 
 the eighteenth century, and possessed to a marked 
 degree the characteristics of a gentleman of the old 
 school, peculiar to the God-fearing seafaring men of 
 those early days, when religion was the sheet-anchor 
 to which all ckuig tenaciously amid the trials, dangers 
 and hardships of a life at sea. 
 
 In early life he was a sea captain, and operated a 
 packet line between New York and Boston. Retiring 
 from the sea, he returned to Chatham and turned his 
 attention to farming ; and from that time on his life 
 and personality have been closely identified in many 
 ways with the history and development of the town. 
 He was twice chosen representative for Barnstable 
 county, and served with honor and distinction, and was 
 always held in high esteem by his townspeople, as 
 well as by those of the neighboring towns in the 
 county. 
 
 He was a man of fine physique, being fully six feet 
 tall, broad shouldered, erect, weighed fully 240 pounds ;

 well proportioned, fine looking and always well dressed, 
 his general appearance giving one an impression at 
 once of the strength and dignity of his character. In 
 manner he was rather serious and reserved, even stern, 
 and indulged in no idle or frivolous words, but spoke 
 always to the point and briefly. His habits were excel- 
 lent and his business dealings were always of a character 
 to command the respect of all with whom he came in 
 contact. He was well-to-do, according to the standard 
 by which men were rated in those early days, and he 
 made good use of such as he could spare for the bet- 
 terment of conditions about him.. He was one of the 
 founders of, and largest contributors to, the present 
 Methodist Episcopal Society of Chatham ; in fact, the 
 church edifice was built mainly through his efforts. It 
 was dedicated Dec. 19, 1849. This, in itself, is evi- 
 dence of his practical Christianity and devotion to the 
 religion that had been his mainstay in earlier years. 
 He died of pneumonia in March, 1871, at the age of 
 eighty-three years. 
 
 It is to be regretted that more details of the per- 
 sonal history of this grand old man cannot be obtained, 
 but his contemporaries have for the most part passed 
 on, and no record remains save the fast-fading memo- 
 ries and traditions cherished and handed down by a 
 few of his direct descendants. But enough has been

 gleaned for us to realize that his fine traits of character, 
 his religious and useful life, and his strong and dignified 
 personality furnish an example worthy the emulation 
 of present and future generations of his descendants. 
 
Xetter frotn a Summer IRestbeut. 
 
 The following letter from a summer resident of 
 Chatham appeared in the Chatham Monitor of August 
 5, 1902. It was written for the Home Week celebration 
 of the old town, and is included here as an "apprecia- 
 tion" of the town and its people, with its reminiscences 
 of the old residents who have passed away : 
 
 To the Editor : — Unfortunate is the individual who, 
 like the writer, finds himself denied the pleasure of a 
 visit to Chatham during Home Week ; but it is only 
 another instance in his career where the old adage, 
 "Man proposes but God disposes," has found a striking 
 illustration. No one would enjoy being present more 
 than he, no one appreciate any better the sentiment of 
 the occasion, or be any more deeply touched by the 
 sad as well as happy memories recalled in the retro- 
 spect of a few short years in Chatham's history. 
 
 The writer was "a stranger at your gates and ye 
 took him in" back in the 80's, and the latch-string he 
 has always found on the outside, while a genial and 
 heartfelt welcome greeted him on all sides. Even the 
 moaning of the whistling buoy seemed to take on a 
 more joyful sound on his arrival, and equally mournful 
 
 11

 on the eve of his departure. At intervals, as if to 
 restrain him in the intoxication incident to out-door 
 life at Chatham, the considerate fog-bank has never 
 failed to interpose its protecting mantle, necessitating 
 more moderation, if not actual change of dates. He 
 is not unfamiliar with the grasp of the tax collector's 
 hand, nor with the tracts he is wont to distribute once a 
 year to his large circle of acquaintances. 
 
 But Chatham has changed in many ways since the 
 advent of the Branch Road. The stage from Harwich 
 to Chatham did very well in the early days, at the same 
 time serving to make Chatham more exclusive, or se- 
 questered, and on that account particularly interesting to 
 the writer, to say nothing of the attractions of the town 
 itself and the immediate vicinity. The scenery, the ver- 
 dure-clad hills and vales, ihe blending of shore, sea and 
 sky, with the musical accompaniment of old ocean as a 
 setting, formed a picture which became so indelibly fixed 
 in his mind at that time that it can never be dimmed 
 or effaced. The ever-changing panorama of sails on 
 a wide expanse of blue, on a clear summer afternoon, 
 has often served to fascinate the writer for hours, to 
 the end not only of driving dull care away, but uncon- 
 sciously bringing him into close and silent communion 
 with the Architect of the Universe, through a calm con- 
 templation of the vastness and grandeur of his works.

 Have your readers ever stopped to realize how 
 much of Chatham has gone out forever, with the lives 
 of many of its townsmen, during the past ten years ? 
 They w^ere old residents, and a part of the town itself, 
 connecting the present generations with the past by 
 links of tradition as fresh in their minds as events of 
 yesterday. But few of us had the time, or took the 
 time, to listen to their stories of the dead past, or had 
 the interest for history's sake alone ; and now we real- 
 ize that the opportunity is perhaps lost as to much that 
 would be interesting in and about Chatham. Among 
 those referred to and known to the writer were Hiram 
 Harding, Levi C. Wing, Leander Gould, Levi Atwood, 
 Leander F. Gould, Richard B. Harding, Marcellus 
 Eldredge, Gains Mullett, George Eldredge, George 
 Godfrey, Charles Ward, Amon Hammond, and many 
 others, including wives, mothers, sisters and widows 
 of residents, as well as some non-resident natives of 
 Chatham, — a goodly company, and possibly their 
 places will never be filled. 
 
 The growth in popularity of Chatham in recent 
 years as a summer resort all must concede, and that 
 the coming generations may appreciate and enjoy its 
 restful hospitality, health-giving atmosphere and in- 
 spiring scenery, as the writer has in the past, is the 
 earnest wish of A Summer Resident. 
 
Note — The number at the left of each name is the family or 
 group number of such descendant, under which number his or her 
 children are enumerated in succeeding pages. Illustration : The 
 family of Leander (2), p. 15, is found on p. 17, and the family of 
 his son, Leander Franklin (17), p. 17, is found on p. 23, each under 
 its proper number.
