    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. The identity of Zaccheus Gould is suggested by his relationship to John Putnam, Jr, of Salem, his association with Jeremy Gould, a proved son of Richard Gould of Bovingdon, and by Zaccheus's residence in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, which borders Bovingdon. Jeremy and Zaccheus Gould both lived in Weymouth, Mass. On 26 Nov 1644 Zaccheus Gould, now of Ipswich, purchased land in Weymouth from James Parker, which had belonged to Jeremy Gould (SUFFOLK DEEDS, 14 vols. [Boston, 1880-1906], 1:56 [FHL #974.46 R2s]). Zaccheus was named overseer and Jeremy Gould was a witness to the will of Henry Russell of Weymouth, 28 Jan 1639/40, proved 9 Oct 1640, Suffolk Co. Probate, misc docket, (o.s.) 1:25 (FHL #584127). On 20 Nov 1658 Zaccheus Gould appointed his "cousin" John Putnam, Jr, his attorney in the case of Thomas Hale v. Zaccheus Gould (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 2:126 [FHL #974.45 P2e]).The term cousin was commonly used for nephew. John Putnam, Jr, is the son of John and Priscilla Putnam of Aston Abbots, Bucks and Salem, Mass. Since Richard Gould of Bovingdon had a dau Priscilla, it is believed that she married John Putnam, Sr. Bovingdon is 14 miles SE of Aston Abbots. For additional evidence, see Read H. Putnam, "Priscilla, Wife of John Putnam," NEHGR, 119(1965):174-76 (FHL #974 B2ne). Zaccheus Gould also named a dau Priscilla. Zaccheus deposed, 26 Mar 1661, that he was 72 years old, giving him an approximate birth year of 1589 (RECORDS AND FILES, 2:268). It is believed that Zaccheus Gould was born in Bovingdon, the par regs of which are lost before 1674 (BTs from 1604). He is first of record in the adjacent parish of Hemel Hempstead when his dau Phebe was baptized in 1620.
      MAR: No mar rec found. Zaccheus's grandson, John Gould (1662-1724), wrote that his "grandfather Deacon" lived at Corner Hall in Hemel Hempstead. This could be no other than Thomas Deacon of Corner Hall, whose dau Phebe was baptized at Hemel Hempstead on 3 Apr 1597. For quote from John Gould, see Benjamin Apthorp Gould, THE FAMILY OF ZACCHEUS GOULD (Lynn, MA, 1895), 26 (FHL #929.273 G738g).
      DEATH: No death rec found, but Zaccheus surely died in Topsfield in 1668, for on 30 Mar 1668 Zaccheus acknowledged a deed he made to Thomas Perkinson 8 Mar 1663/4 (Ipswich Deeds, 4:268-69 [FHL #873019]). And Zaccheus was referred to as deceased in town recs, 13 Nov 1668 (TOWN RECORDS OF TOPSFIELD, 2 vols. [Topsfield, MA, 1917], 1:10 [FHL #974.45/T1 N2t]).
