Date: Saturday, July 23, 1796 Paper: Columbian Centinel (Boston, Massachusetts) Volume: XXV Issue: 40 Page: 3 "At Falmouth, the 12 instant, Mrs Deborah Gould, wife of Jacob Gould, aged 79 years." (Please don't confuse her with a much younger person of the same name who died in Lynn, Mass in the same year).
Note the inscription on Jacob Gould's burial monument in the same cemetery is: "Formerly of Weymouth, Mass aged 86 years." He was her second husband.
Deborah Gardner was born on 9 Oct 1719 in Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Vital Records her birth is recorded to "Rev James Gardner" and Mary. Please note the "Rev" which distinguishes him from other men of the same name. Deborah Gardner was the daughter of Rev James Gardner 1685 – 1739 and Mary "Polly" Thomas 1686 – 1746. Her father was the Pasteur of the First Church of Christ in Marshfield. In 1632 the church leaders of Plymouth allowed the establishment of the First Church of Marshfield. This was one of seven of the original societies to be formed from the First Church of Plymouth and is the oldest continuing Trinitarian Congregational church in America. On January 23, 1706 James Gardner married Mary "Polly" Thomas (1686 – 1746) in Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Col Nathaniel Thomas 1643 – 1718 (a judge of the Supreme Court) and Deborah Jacob 1643 – 1696. William Thomas (1638 – 1718 the uncle of Polly Thomas) donated land to the church near the present Winslow Cemetery. In 1706 they built a meeting house with a thatched roof. In 1707 Rev James Gardner was ordained and became the fourth Pasteur of the First Church of Christ in Marshfield. During his tenure he witnessed the remaining churches conversion to Unitarianism and the beginnings of the first great awakening. After Rev James Gardner died in 1739 Mary "Polly" (Thomas) Garder married second to Capt John Gould 1672 – 1762. They moved to Weymouth. Mary Polly (Thomas) Gould died 27 Jan 1746 in Weymouth.
Deborah Gardner married first to Micah Sampson 1717 – 1740 on 7 Feb 1739 in Marshfield, Plymouth, Massachusetts. They had one son:
1) Corp Micah Sampson Jr 1740 – 1821. Micah Sampson Jr was born one month after his father died. He was the husband of Abigail Prince Gookin.
There are two marriage records for a Deborah Sampson after that: 1) to Samuel Veazie on 06 August 1742 in Kingston, Plymouth, Massachusetts and 2) Jacob Gould 1720 – 1795 on 4 Oct 1744 in Kingston, Plymouth, Massachusetts. Some researchers have gotten confused. She actually married to Jacob Gould not Samuel Veazie. How do we know? Micah Sampson Jr was still a minor when his mother remarried. Probate records show that the court appointed Jacob Gould as guardian of Micah Sampson Jr proving that he was the second husband of Deborah (Gardner) Sampson.
Jacob Gould and Deborah moved to Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts with Deborah's mother and step-father and her son Micah Sampson, Jr where they had five children all born in Weymouth:
1) Lydia Goold 1747 – 1752, died young.
2) Lucy Goold 1751 – 1752, died young.
3) Gardner Goold / Gould 1752 – 1815 married Abigail Fearing 1757 – 1826. Note his name - he is named after his mother's surname.
4) Capt Jacob Gould / Goold 1752 – 1816 married Lydia THAYER 1752 – 1822.
5) Thomas Gould / Goold 1757 – 1798 married Susanna Waterman 1761 – 1798.
Jacob Gould and Debora then moved to Falmouth, Cumberland, Maine and retired and are both buried here. Deborah died 12 Jul 1796 and Jacob died 4 May 1804.
Jacob Gould Goold Obituary 1804 Mortuary Notice Date: Monday, May 28, 1804 Paper: Gazette (Portland, Maine) Volume: VII Issue 6 page 3: "In this town, Mr. Jacob Guild, formerly of Weymouth, in the 86th year of his age. Favored with a sound mind, and a sweet disposition, through the whole course of life he was a noble pattern of fidelity in all the social relations. He was a tender and affectionate relative; a pleasant and kind neighbor given to hospitality; a lover of good men; an exemplary disciple of the Crofs (sp?) walking in the order and faith of the gospel. As the morning and the meridian of his life were dedicated to piety and virtue; to the evening of it was cherished with christian re?gnation, and xxx close triumphant in the bright hopes of a blessed immortality."
