From "Traces of Gold" by James Ray Gold ~

James Thomas Gold was the son of Johnathan and Sarah (Ryalls) Gold, born April 22, 1848 in Lincoln County, Tennessee. He died July 27, 1909 in Christian County, Missouri. He married Delilah Paralee Luttrell, March 12, 1868. She was the daughter of Sanders Luttrell and Betty Boyd. She was born January 6, 1845 in Tennessee and died March 18, 1919 in Christian County, Missouri. They are both buried in the Gold Cemetery, on their old home place, south of Clever, Missouri.

He was only four years of age when he came to Christian County, Missouri, on the Johnathan Gold Wagon Train that left their home in Giles County, TN. which is near Gold Hill located about 2 miles west of Petersburg in Lincoln County, TN. That Wagon Train brought several members of the Gold and Cavener families to Porter Township of Christian County, and settled in Green Valley near Boaz, Missouri.

The parents of Delilah also came to Christian County, MO., from Tennessee in about 1856. James Thomas and Delilah Paralee (Luttrell) Gold were known as Uncle Jimmie and Aunt Paralee.

In the 1870 census of Christian County, they are listed as living near Ponce De Leon, in Christian County, just east of the Stone County, Missouri, County line. Their three oldest children were born there. In about 1876 they moved to about 2 miles south of Clever, Missouri.

Where they finished raising their family of eleven children, and spent the remainder of their lives there.

Their children were; (1) James Harvey, (2) Andrew Thomas, (3) George Washington, (4) Cynthia, (5) Alice, (6) Millie, (7) John. (8) Greene Elza, (9) Elizabeth "Eliza", (10) Jane, and (11) Pauline Gold.

They have many descendants in southwest Missouri. The Christian County, census of 1910 shows Paralee Gold, head of the household, age 63, a widow born in TN., Ottie B. Lent, Niece, age 9 born in MO., Ottie stayed with them from sometime before Uncle Jimmie died in 1909, until about the time that Aunt Paralee died in 1919. Then Uncle Green Gold moved there and Ottie stayed there with them for awhile.
