Joseph was the son of Jonathan Gold and his second wife, Rachel Lee. His grandfather was Joseph Gold, and great grandfather was Michael Gold, nicknamed Michael Killbuck. The great-grandfather immigrated from North Ireland to Philadelphia about 1720.
Joseph was born on the old Gould Farm, lot 32 in the 6th concession of Uxbridge, Ontario,Canada. The family changed their name from Gold to Gould because of Joseph. "I asked my father why he wrote his name Gold, which was a metal, when Gould was a man's name. He said that the family had always written it so, as far back as he had any record. 'Well,' I replied, 'I think I shall write my name Go-u-l-d, Gould, as I want a man's name and not the name of a metal" (1) pg.23
Mr. Gould married Mary James (1816-1891), daughter of Ruth Lundy and Ezekial James, a Quaker, on Jan. 1, 1839. "Their marriage was duly solemnized on the first day of January, 1839. They were married by special license by the Revd. Mr. Stewart, Baptist minister, at the house of their mutual friend, Mr. Reid, corner of Queen and Yonge streets, Toronto. (1) pg.111
His life is recorded in, (1) "The life and times of Joseph Gould. Struggles of the early Canadian settlers, settlement of Uxbridge, sketch of the history of the county of Ontario, the rebellion of 1837, parliamentary career, etc., etc. Reminiscences of sixty years of active political and municipal life" (1887)
