    Notes 
    • BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations. Richard may be the son of Thomas Gould of Bovingdon, whose will, 29 Aug 1520, proved 24 Sep 1520, identifies a son Richard (Archdeaconry Court of Huntingdon [Hunts Div], reg wills, 2:295 [FHL #187856]). However, this Richard seems too young to be the ancestor, as most of his siblings were minors in 1520. This identification of Richard's parents is advanced in Benjamin Apthorp Gould, THE FAMILY OF ZACCHEUS GOULD (Lynn, MA, 1895), 2-4 (FHL #929.273 G738g). Gould gave Richard a birth year of about 1479, which still makes him a generation older than most of his siblings. He then adjusted the chronology of later generations unrealistically narrow to accomodate the 1479 birth year.
      MAR: A wife Joan is mentioned in his own will, below.
      DEATH: Epitaph in brass located in Bovingdon church is quoted in Robert Clutterbuck, THE HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF THE COUNTY OF HERTFORD, 3 vols. (London, 1815-27), 1:326 (FHL #Q942.58 H2c). Also see the will of Richard Gould of Bovingdon, 25 Aug 1531, proved 11 Oct 1531, Archdeaconry Court of Huntingdon (Hunts Div), reg wills, 2:295 (FHL #187856).
