GOULD.
THOMAS1 GOULD, d. Apr., 1674; m. (1) Hannah - [d. May 15, 1647]; (2) Mary, widow of - Hayward (or Howard). He was an early settler at Charlestown, Mass., where he made his permanent resi- dence, and was a selectman. He was active in the erection of the first Baptist church in the colony, and was imprisoned for a considerable time on account of his failure to conform to the prevailing belief.

JAMES3 (Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Feb. 8, 1666/7; m. (1) Deborah -; (2) Sarah He lived in Salem, Mass., probably in that part which is now Peabody, as his children were baptized in the Third church which is situated in that region.
BENJAMIN4 (James3, Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Oct. 2, 1695; d. 1765; m. 1722, Sarah Parkhurst [b. Dec. 6, 1705; d. Apr. 4, 1793; m. (2) Eleazer Graves]. He lived in Chelmsford, Mass. Two of his nine chil- dren were among the early settlers in New Ipswich.

He lived in Chelmsford until about 1760 and then came to New Ipswich, and according to the former town history, they "lived in a house built by Col. Kidder on one of his lots on Kidder Mountain, near the old Peterboro road, where they seemed to act as shepherds over the cattle in the mountain pastures." He was exempted from taxes for several years before his death. On account of their patriarchal age, and as they lived as it were alone in the world,

Dec. 20, 1778]; (2) Sept. 30, 1779, Susannah (Hastings), widow of his neighbor John Cut- ter (1) [d. Jaffrey, Aug. 5, 1827]. He came to New Ipswich before 1760 and settled as a farmer a mile eastward from the home of his uncle Adam on Kidder Mountain, which farm, (40, N. D.,) remained in his hands and those of his descendants for more than a century. His name, near to the head of those who responded to the initial Revolutionary alarm in 1775, is also found as that of a sergeant on the company rolls of Capts. Atkinson, Francis Towne, Briant, and Fletcher, testifying to service at Coos and Trenton in 1776, at Princeton, at Still- water, and at the surrender of Burgoyne in 1777, and at Rhode Island in 1778.

He "came to town at the same time with his brother Simeon, and settled on a lot diago- nal to his, (43, N. D.) He served the town in the capacity of constable and surveyor, and among other offices was appointed by vote of the town to 'raise the tune on the Sabbath' at a time when it was customary to line or 'deaconize' the hymn. He was one of the first persons in the town who could read

music, and took a prominent part as a performer and also as an instructor in psalmody during his life. He was an exem- plary member of the church." He had no children, but he adopted his nephew, whose name by act of General Court in June, 1807, was made to be :

4. MARY5 (Benjamin4, James3, Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Aug. 29, 1746; d. Oct. 16, 1823; m. Jan. 11, 1770, Reuben Duren [b. Mar. 1, 1747; d. Jan. 1, 1821]. They lived in Billerica and later in Bedford. Mr. Duren "was a resolute and enterprising man, of an inventive mind, and was distinguished, in his vicinity, as a contractor for building meeting-houses and other large structures. He received a premium for a model of a bridge over the Merrimac at Pawtucket Falls, against many competitors. It was constructed of a single arch, the first of its kind so far as known, in this country, and was regarded by most persons of the time as a wild scheme. He succeeded, however, in erecting it." She had fourteen children, one of whom,

7. BENJAMIN5 (Adam4, James3, Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Aug. 29, 1742; d. Jan. 5, 1804; m. Sarah [d. Feb. 25, 1804]. He is said to have come to New Ipswich, perhaps with his father ; but, if he did, his residence was very brief, as in 1768 he appears in Plymouth, where he passed his life and was a prominent citizen, holding civil offices of selectman and repre- sentative, that of deacon in the church, and rising through the inferior offices to that of major in the militia, although his declination of the last-named office offered him in one of the regiments of the minute-men organized in 1775 suggests that

He lived upon the same farm with his father, building himself a new house a little westward from that of his father. He served in the Revolution for three months under Capt. Othniel Thomas, and is believed to have been the latest surviving revolutionary soldier from New Ips- wich. Children :

16. NATHANIEL DUREN6 (Mary5, Benjamin4, James3, Thom- as2, Thomas1), b. Mar. 26, 1781; d. May 28, 1864; m. Nov. 15, 1801, Sally Prichard (15). At the age of ten he was adopted by his uncle Nathaniel Gould and rode from Bedford to New Ipswich on horseback behind his uncle. From that time he made his home on the farm practically as his uncle's son, al- though his name was retained without change until five years after his marriage. He began teaching in the neighboring district schools at the age of sixteen, and it soon became evi- dent that he had found his true work. It has been said that "as a teacher, it may be sufficient to say of him that of the 60,000 pupils who, according to his computation, have at dif- ferent times come under his care, no one ever meets him or speaks of him but with grateful recollections." He was espe- cially successful, however, as teacher of music and of penman- ship. He was a true pioneer in the introduction of juvenile singing schools, and he has had very few equals as a penman, retaining his skill in ornamental work until old age. At the present day he would undoubtedly be noted as an expert in questions of penmanship. On one occasion, chancing to be foreman of a jury before which a suit for the possession of a farm was brought, his clearly trained vision alone disclosed the forgery of a deed offered in evidence, and caused a rapid exit from the state of the claimants presenting the deed. He was a leading man in church and town affairs, being deacon for a considerable period, selectman for six years, and repre- sentative for three years. He removed to Boston before reaching his fortieth year, and pursued the two branches of instruction in that city, in New York, and in other cities. Children :

45. AUGUSTUS ADDISON7 (Nathaniel D.6, Mary5, Benjamin4, James3, Thomas2, Thomas1), b. Apr. 23, 1805; d. Sept. 15, 1866; m. Nov. 25, 1833, Harriet Cushing, dau. of Henry and Lucy (Cushing) Sheafe [b. Sept. 15, 1811; d. May 14, 1893]. He prepared for Harvard College at New Ipswich, was admitted at the age of seventeen, and graduated in 1825. His taste for natural history had already begun to be manifest, and he en- tered upon the work of investigation which he pursued most successfully throughout his life. After his graduation he taught two years in Maryland, at the same time beginning the study of medicine. Then returning to Boston, he continued his medical studies, completing that work with a year in the Massachusetts General Hospital, and having taken his degree he commenced practice in the city where he was to pass his life, becoming one of the leading practitioners there. The fidelity to his vocation, completely evidenced by his recognized medical rank, did not forbid earnest and highly successful la- bor in other somewhat allied fields. He taught botany and zoology at Harvard for two years, and was one of the found- ers of the Boston Society of Natural History. It is said that for several years he usually rose at four o'clock to work on the collections of the society, considering that to be a kind of recreation preparing him for the professional duties of the day. He was a charter member of the National Academy of Sciences, and was also connected with sixteen scientific societies, Amer- ican and foreign, and author of more than one hundred scien- tific books and papers beside those which were strictly pro- fessional. He was a pioneer in many fields of New England zoology, and his books were accepted as authoritative on the subjects treated. He was also active in the medical societies, being president of that of the state at the time of his death. That his valuable activities were broader than these allied fields is shown by the result of two years of labor superim- posed upon his professional work which was devoted to the preparation, in union with Mr. Kidder, of the former town history, and also by a faithful attendance during fifteen years upon his duties as a trustee of New Ipswich Appleton Acad- emy, to which, soon after the completion of its present build- ing, he presented a collection of fossils and other valuable specimens for scientific study, said at that time to be excelled in New Hampshire only by that of Dartmouth College. He was an earnest and consistent member of the Baptist church,

in the employ of Ephraim Searle, who was then proprietor of a store in the building on the Turnpike since known as the Appleton House, and remained there after his father's removal to Boston. But about 1823, Mr. Searle also removed to the city, thus introducing his helper to the mercantile activities of Boston in which he passed his life, at first being engaged with West India goods; but being administrator of the estate of his wife's father, Ensign Lincoln, who was a bookseller, he became interested in that line of business, and in 1835 in con- nection with his brother-in-law, Joshua Lincoln, and another partner, the publishing house of Gould & Lincoln, widely known for many years for its valuable religious and scientific productions, began its efficient life.

He was son of Silas and Susan Greenman of Warwick, R. I. He came to New Ipswich in 1843 and passed his later life in the town except for a few years in California. He was one of the earliest proprietors of the restaurant maintained for many years beneath the Union Hall, but during the greater part of his life he was occupied in the manufacture of cigars. His latest place of business, in which he continued until his health forbade, was the small building near his house, just off the Turnpike upon the old Greenville road, which was built across the street from the site of the present Baptist church as the law office of John Preston, Esq., and later was used as a harness shop and for various other business activities, while standing across the Turnpike from its present position.
