Introduction

For many of us, the ancestors of either James Gould Jr or his wife Sophie Penn were unknown. But recently the descendants of both families met and now the history of this couple is being put together. James was on the American side fighting against the British at Saratoga. After the war, in Canada, he married Sophie Penn whose father, 2nd Lieutenant John Payne, also served on the American side, in Col Sealy's regiment. It is unknown why James Gould and Sophie Penn were living in Cape Breton in 1791 when they were married. (Readers must remember that before 1812, Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton etc. were still under British rule.) Their last child, Sophie GOULD was born on June 9 1803. The GOULD surname (along with Reilly, Milward, Bollong, Wheeler, Ley, Neale, Huxford, Russell) appears in a list of inhabitants of Mainadieu in Peter Landry's book: History of Nova Scotia (in 7 volumes) [External References: Book 8, Source 50]. Source 50 is an on-line version of this same book, although the books` names differ. Landry`s on-line book contains a treasure-trove of web-links including a glossary and a list of the books that Landry used as his sources etc.

After 1802, their marriage in Canada failed and James returned to the USA. Sophie remained in Canada and remarried. Sophie's second husband was William Cummings. This webpage is about James Gould Jr., Sophie Penn, their families, many of their ancestors and their descendants with many sources and links to other websites.

A second web-page (Source 48: Article 111) was created by this same web-master (David Cole) that describes Lt. James Gould Sr. (1743-1822), his wife Mary Lovejoy, their children and their ancestors. Most of these ancestors have been excluded from the web-page (Article 108 about James Gould Jr.), that you are currently reading.

This article is possible due to genealogy work mainly by the following persons (and others):
Janine Barber whose parents researched the Gould Family including the Gould family bible.
Paul Delaney whose extensive research includes many families such as Payne from Magdeline Islands.
David Cole who published the Payne family information on the Web where Janine Barber and Karen Sims found it.

Map of the Battle Of Saratoga 1777



The father of Private James Gould was Lieutenant James Gould who fought in the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. From Source 1, we learn:

This was a battle between the Americans from New Hampshire and the British. The American leaders were:

-Maj. Dearborn's Battalion of Infantry,
-Col. Cilley's [aka Sealy's] Continental Reg't, First N.H.,
-Col. Reid's Second N.H. Reg't,
-Col. Scammell's Third N.H. Reg't.

Lieutenant James Gould was in Col. Cilley's Continental Reg't, First N.H.

The British leader was General Burgoyne. The senior officers of the British regiments were Major General Phillips, Baron Riedesel, Brigadier Simon Fraser and Brigadier Hamilton. Burgoyne was allied with the following forces:

-General Sir William Howe, who had invaded the New York City area in 1776,
-a contingent of Native Americans who decided to leave in 1777,
-a second British column under Clinton was stalled by the American controlled Fort Stanwix,
-his allies, the German troops, the Hessiers, were overwhelmed by the Americans,
-a major British column en route to seek supplies in Vermont was overrun, costing Burgoyne 1000 men.

General Burgoyne capitulated on 17 October 1777, a major turning point in the US War for Independance

The exact quotation about Lieutenant James Gould is:
In Col. Cilley's Regiment, Captain William Scott of Peterborourgh, Lieutenant James Gould of Groton, Lieutenant Jonathan Emerson of Dunstable and Lieutenant Barzillal Howe of Hillsborough were all wounded and Captain Jason Waitt of Alstead and Lieutenant John Moore of Pembroke were made prisoners.

More information is available in Book 2 (see External References below). Janine Barber writes:
Bev Henry, a respected Gould family genealogist, got in touch with me regarding merging Lt. James Gould with my Lt. James Gould [in WikiTree]. We both have copies of (the printed book) Goulds of Topsfield, MA [Book 2, Source 49] that notes Lt James Gould's parents.
Book 5 listed at the end of this article, is said to contain references to Lt James Gould and his son, Pvt James Gould who both participated in the American Revolutionary War.

Source 31 is a link to James (John) Gould Sr (1668-?). The "www" link takes you to his live "clickable" record at Ancestry.com but a paid subscription to Ancestry is necessary to do much with it. The non-www link in Source 31 is a "free" image of the Ancestry webpage showing his parents and children.

Ancestors of Lieutenant James Gould (1743-1822)

The webpage at WikiTree (Source 13) shown below is the family tree of the Gould ancestors of Lieutenant James Gould (1743-1822) going back to Thomas Gould (c1613-1675). The wife of the latter was Hannah Miller (1621-15 Mar 1647). Previous ancestors can be found at Source 13.

The senior James GOULD family

Source 12 at Ancestry is one of the most detailed descriptions of the parents and birth of Lieutenant James GOULD. Because Ancestry usually requires a paid subscription, a photo of the family description at this Ancestry web page is provided. Beware the web Link named "www" goes directly to Ancestry.com. The other web Link named "Parents of Lieutenant James GOULD" brings up the photo of the Ancestry Page. Here we see that Lieutenant James (John) GOULD was Born in Kingston Bagpuis, Berkshire, England on 22 Jun 1668.

Book 4, described at the bottom of this article, refers to a small article that describes the early married life of Lt James GOULD with his unnamed wife, Mary Lovejoy, and the birth of their first son, James GOULD Jr. This article can be found in one of the files in Source 16. This file is named 11112015112926.pdf which contains page 386 of the Gazetteer and contains the full text.

The younger James GOULD family

The WikiTree website (Source 26) image shown below, describing this family does not provide information about the husband and family of Ann Gould.

Source 12 (at Ancestry.com) is one of the most detailed description of the family and descendants of James GOULD. The Source 26 www web link takes you to James Gould (1765-Before 1841) on WikiTree. The other web Link named "WikiTree: James GOULD (1765-Before 1841)" brings up a photo of the Descendants of James Gould (at WikiTree). For many years the 4 children in this family have been listed on WorldConnect which is Source 2.

But more information about the family of Ann Gould can be found in the section of this current webpage entitled "Yvette nee Richard Cole's descent from Sophie PENN". Ann Gould married Louis-Michel-Hyppolite Theriault (1819-) as can be seen in Source 25.

Source 2 asserts that "James GOULD married Sophie Penn and that he was the son of Lieutenant James Gould ( January 28, 1743-October 11, 1822) who fought in the battle of Saratoga. Private James Gould went to war with his father as a `waiter`. At the Battle of Saratoga, his father survived two bullets."

Source 3 provides more details about the Battle of Saratoga.

Source 4 mentions Col. Arthur Goold, a loyalist from Halifax, who fought against Washington's armies in 1777. This Arthur Goold, a member of the Council of Nova Scotia, was later private secretary to Lord William Campbell. The webmaster, David Cole, initially thought that Arthur's son, James Gould, was the husband of Sophie Penn. He no longer believes this to be the case. Perhaps these two Goulds were related?

Another, yet unexplored reference to Arthur Goold is:
NOBLE, ARTHUR – Volume III (1741-1770)
, Kingston, Ont., 1969), pp.219–24. New Eng. Hist. and Geneal. Register, XXIV (1870), 370. Rawlyk, Yankees at Louisbourg, 126–27. William Goold, “Col. Arthur ...."

Source 5 is a link to Private James Gould on WikiTree Gould-2742 and contains a list of his ancestors. His information is managed by Janine Barber. Source 6 is a link to his wife Sophia Penn on FamilySearch.org and it lists her ancestors. Some of her information was provided by David Cole (davidcole8). Note that FamilySearch.org is a free site, but you need to create a username and password to access it.

The mother of the younger James Gould (and the wife of Lieutenant James Gould) is Mary Lovejoy as seen in Source 7 below. This source also cites her parents.

The family raised by John Payne and Lydia Tisdale (or Tisdall) including Sophie Payne is described in Source 11. Source 11 is the Murrant genealogy named after Thomas Murrant Sr who married Aurelia Payne (c1764-1846), a sister of Sophia Payne (c1776-April 20, 1857).

The ancestors and descendants of Sophie PENN have been known to David Cole for many years, but knowledge of the parents of her first husband, James GOULD, was unknown. Similarly, the ancestors and descendants of James GOULD have been known to Janine Barber and her parents and grandparents, but they were searching for information about Sophie PENN's origins. Finally, the two family histories have been brought together, today, Dec 30, one of the last days of 2015. This happened due to the preservation of the GOULD family bible and the perseverance of Janine Barber. In 2018, Janine Ruth Barber published (in Book 10 and Source 57 below) an article named Sophia (Payne) (Gould) Cummings: From Connecticut to Canada. Her article describes Sophia's descent from John TISDALE and his wife Sarah WALKER. It also describes Sophia's two husbands and her children with each husband. This article is very comprehensive and contains copious sources. For more information about this article in The Connecticut Nutmegger, see the website at http://www.csginc.org or contact the webmaster of this article # 108, David KC Cole.

A copy of page 200 of the Nutmegger article is shown below. At the top of the page, the children of Sophie Payne and James Gould are listed. Below them, the children of Sophie Payne and William Cummings are listed.

Graves of William and Sophia nee Boutillier and William Gould

Karen Ward supplied the following photos with this note:

The notebooks I have in my room that were my mother's kept calling to me. I don't know if there are other pictures of gravestones from my parents traveling around cemeteries in New Hampshire but I happened upon these two photos. Also, several Leete related ones. Later in life she wished she'd had a better camera when they were taking these pictures but it was the best they had at the time.

I think I mentioned this before but..... her notes state that William and Sophia are buried next to each other in Pike, NH (see paragraph below the photos) in a cemetery off Rt. 25.

Most of where they explored is very rural and I remember her telling me about unpredictable hours for town halls, records destroyed by fires, dirt roads better for 4 wheel drive than their Chevy Caprice, overgrown, uncared for cemeteries, etc. It was quite an adventure for them.

He also identified the exact locations of the graves of Phineas Gould and his wife Mary Jane and their son Simon S. Gould. He also copied onto the map, the inscriptions on these gravestones. The inscriptions that he wrote on the map are almost illegible, but they are shown below. The two gravestones shown above the map are those of William and his wife Sophia.

Pike, New Hampshire

Wikipedia describes Pike, NH as follows:
Pike is a small unincorporated community within the town of Haverhill, New Hampshire, in the United States. It is located in western Grafton County, approximately 3 miles (5 km) east of the village of Haverhill, on Oliverian Brook. The village was named after Alonzo Pike, who produced sharpening stones and tool and cutter grinders from a local deposit of Bethlehem gneiss.[2]

New Hampshire Route 25 runs through the community, heading west to the nearby Connecticut River valley and east through Oliverian Notch to the southern foothills of the White Mountains.

Pike has a separate ZIP code (03780) from the rest of Haverhill. The Pike telephone exchange covers the southern half of the town of Haverhill, including Haverhill village, and extends east to include the village of Glencliff in the town of Warren.

Death of James Gould Jr

The date of the death of James Gould Jr is unknown. It must surely be after 1831 because he applied for a pension in 1832 as shown in the image below. This is one of the images in Source 16.

Sophier nee Goold Roberts, daughter of James Gould Jr. and Sophie Paine

The article in Source 30 describes the Roberts and Goold families. One of the members of the Roberts family is Thomas Dison Roberts, born Oct 25, 1789 in the County of Hampshire, Parish of Ringwood, House of Moxford, England. He married Sophier Goold born July 4, 1800 at Little Birdeck, Cape Breton, Canada. She was the daughter of James Goold Jr. and his wife Sophie nee Paine who was the daughter of Capt. John Paine and Lydia Tisdall. In Cape Breton, in 2016, there is a community called Beddeck which is probably a variant of the name "Birdeck". The webmaster is not surprised to see Sophia spelled as "Sophier". The webmaster's paternal grandparents were born and raised in London, England where words rhyming with Sophia are pronounced "Sophier". The final "a" is pronounced like "er". Many people in Cape Breton would not know of this regional pronunciation and would record the name as they hear it.

The last page of Source 30 contains one descendancy from Thomas Goold (1639-?) down through Sophier Gould through Stephan James Roberts to William John Meilland (1972-?) who is probably still alive at the time of writing this article 108 (in 2016). The last page of Source 30 concludes with a list of its sources. A very small portion of the Roberts article is transcribed below:
"Thomas Dison Roberts and Sophier ([nee] Gould) Roberts were parents of twelve children; but of these, three died as babies; one was scalded-one killed by a spinning wheel falling on it. Sophier ([nee] Gould) Roberts died January 16, 1876 at Fox Lake, Wisconsin and Thomas Dison Roberts died September 23, 1886 at Fox Lake Wisconsin where both are buried."
The Roberts portion of this article contains a vivid account of the travels of Stephen James Roberts plus other anecdotes. The main link in Source 30 is a link to a searchable text file transcribed word for word from the article. The www link in Source 30 is a link to a pdf file containing original images of all typewritten pages of the article. This second link is to guard against "link rot" (link-rot) which is a name for hyper-text inks (URLs) that become invalid over time. This is usually due to the target URL (marked www) disappearing or becoming invalid when web-pages are either changed, updated or deleted. The second link is a link to a copy of the article or portion of the article that has been archived to a second location on the web.

William Gould (c1798-1865), son of James Gould jr. and of Sophie Paine

Source 20 (WikiTree) shows that William Butter Gould lived to the age of 92 years. This source indicates that his middle name or nickname is Butter. William lived to be 92. In Canada, he was a hunter and fisherman. He was a carpenter in New Hampshire after moving his wife and family from Cape Breton Island to Grafton County, New Hampshire. Source 23 shows that his wife was Sophia Magdalena Boutilier. Their daughter, Hannah Gould, b. 1826 in Cape Breton Island, remembered their journey from Nova Scotia to Uncle Phineas Gould's home. It was recorded in the East Hartford Weekly Gazette, dated December 14, 1928.

Sophia Magdalena Boutilier was the daughter of Frederick Nicholas Boutilier (c1754-1779) and Anna Barbara Hirtle (1758-After 1834) who lived in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. Their son, James Frederick Boutilier (1784-1879) married Susan Gould (c1792-Before 1871) who is the sister of William Gould (c1798-1865). So, these two children of a Gould family married two children of a Boutilier family.

Source 21 is a pdf containing references to an image of the actual land grant application by William Gould. The image is shown below:

Page 187 of The History of Piermont, New Hampshire, 1764-1947 (Book 6) states
William Gould m. Ellen Boutelier, D. August 10, 1878. Her first name was Sophia, but the date may be accurate.
Because the marriage record and the official census records do not mention the middle name of Ellen, Ellen has not been included as part of her name in this genealogy article. Other sources indicate that the date of their marriage was 1813. Perhaps the "D." indicates that Sophia Magdalena Boutilier died on August 10, 1878.

It is filed there as James Gould's Birth: 23 Aug 1840, Baptism 1840 - Quebec, Québec [26 Aug 1840]. It says that the mother of this James Gould was Margaret [illegible] wheras the wife of Williaim Gould was Sophia Magdalena Boutilier.

The middle name of "Butter" has been seen written as "Butler". Janine Barber suggests that this might be an anglicized version of "Boutilier". For more information about the Boutilier connection refer to Source 23 and Source 24 below. In Source 23, William Gould (b c1794) is reported to have married Sophia Magdalena Boutilier on 8 Aug 1813.

The parents of my wife, Yvette, were both born in Havre-aux-Maisons, les Iles-de-la-Madeleine, QC, Canada which is where Sophie PENN died and was buried. Yvette's eldest sister, Blandine nee Richard Arseneault was also born in Havre-aux-Maisons. Lydie (Ledee) Theriault (1847-) in the first descent (above), is related to Docteur Patrick Peter Delaney (1852-1941) (Biography in Source 61), who was the member of the Quebec Legislative Assembly representing Madeleine Islands. He married Mary-Margaret-Josephine-Maria O'Brien in 1882. For more information see Source 60 below.

Baptism of children of Sophia nee Penn Commons

The following document (of unknown source) was sent to me by Janine Barber with the following note:
Also, Elise, a translator from the Seattle area, has dug further into Sophia Pain's story and discovered she adopted some children before remarrying -- to William Commons.
What a compassionate woman! Can you help translate this -- either into English, or -- culturally, under what circumstances would a woman adopt two kids, near or around the War of 1812? Could they be family? Was she wealthy?
My study and translation of this document finds no evidence to indicate that these children were adopted by Sophie Penn. Futhermore, this document indicates that these two children, Jacques and Maria, are both children of William Commons and Sophie Penn. It is strange that the document states "tous deux fils" which means "both being sons of". I would have expected it to read "tous deux enfants de" which means "both being children of". In 1811, many were baptised during the pastoral visit to Madeleine Islands (Book 3) of Mgr. Joseph-Octave Plessis, Bishop of Quebec who apparently signed this document.

Sainte-Madeleine de Havre-aux-Maisons

Between 1898 and 1973, Sainte-Madeleine de Havre-aux-Maisons was the church for the island of Havre-aux-Maisons. It was built in 1898 and burnt down in 1973 (Source 8). Lydie Arseneault, the mother of Yvette Richard grew up in the farmhouse south of the rectory of the church. The photo below shows the church. Proceeding south, behind the church is the convent associated with the church. Behind the convent was the rectory and behind the rectory was the farmhouse of Azade Areneault (1876-1959), the grandfather of Yvette nee Richard Cole. The convent is to the left of the church in the photo below. The rectory and Azade's farmhouse do not appear in the photo. The photo below is looking south east. The webmaster and his wife, Yvette, visited the convent and recently stayed in Azade Arseneault's farmhouse for a 1 week period. As of 2015, the convent is being used as a restaurant and inn.

Sophie PENN died in 1857, many years before this church was built. Photos of Azade Arseneault, his house and the convent can be seen by searching for "Azade" at the webmaster's photo gallery site (Source 9) at: iGalri.com

The Ancestors of Sophia Penn (1776-1857)

The ancestors of Sophia Penn (aka Sophie Payne) (FSID: KLL7-B6P) have been known for a long time. They are accurately shown in the following pedigree chart from the FamilySearch web-site. They are described in more detail below.

Joseph Payne (1695-1767) m Anne Babcock (1701-1776) (FSID: GFF8-XYT)

Their descendancy to Sophie Payne is shown in the above tree, on the right.

I believe that Joseph Payne (Source 29) and Anne Babcock were ancestors of Sophie Payne. When adding them to FamilySearch, I was tempted to merge Joseph Paine of Milton (FSID:KPDL-JWV) who married Mary Babcock (FSID:KPDL-JWV) with "my" Joseph Payne (FSID:MG5L-NRB) who married Anne Babcock (FSID:L28F-2W8) but did not because the families with these wives were comprised of different children. The other Joseph Paine was initially loaded by FamilySearch based upon his marriage record to Ann Babcock (FSID: LHFD-V9M) on 26 FEB 1723. Since then, Paul Gordon has added a wife named Mary Babcock whom he indicates was married on that same date but provides no record source. Instead of merging, I added the following message in the Life Sketch of "my" Joseph Payne:
This Joseph Payne [FSID:MG5L-NRB] ​is NOT the same as Joseph Paine of Milton (KPDL-JWV). Although the parents are the same. These 2 persons must not be merged without examining the source info and removing the contradictory information which is wrong. Wife Mary Babcock is not the same as wife Anna Babcock., nor are the children. [Ed. Weaver in Source 52 differentiates between these two men named Joseph Pain].
To further complicate matters, Anna Babcock (FSID: LHFD-V9M) is also said to have married Elder Joseph Clarke III ( FSID: LJV8-271 ). This marriage may have occurred in 1717 at Westerly, Washington, RI, USA. This predates her marriage to Joseph Paine and is not contradictory because Elder Joseph Clarke III died in 1719.

When David Cole added marriage information, it replaced original information that FamilySearch had already posted. An image of the original FamilySearch marriage record (Anne Babcock m Joseph Paine) at FamilySearch taken on 3 May 2012 is shown below:

Source 51 also mentions the marriage of Ann Badcock to Joseph Pain on 26 February 1724. On the same page we see her cousin, Mary Badcock marrying a different Joseph Pain said to be of Milton. The two brief entries in Source 51 ( The family of Badcock of Massachusetts) are reprinted below:

JAMES BADCOCK, born at Milton 28 March, 1677; married 18 February, 1701, Mary Fenno of Milton; moved in 1702 to Windham, Conn., where most of his children were born; died at Coventry in 1740. An account of his descendants may be read on p55 of Weaver's "History and Genealogy of Ancient Windham" ( Book 9 ). [Ed. Source 52 is page (p55) of Book 9 where we can see an account of the life of James Babcock (1677-1740). Karen Sims concludes that Mary Fenno cannot be the wife of his eldest son.]

John Payne (1725-?) m Jemima Hutchinson (1730-1775)

John Payne married Jemima Hutchinson in Coventry, CT on May 7, 1747. They had 4 children: Jemima, John Jr, Lemuel and Hiram. John Payne Jr married Lydia Tisdale and were the grandparents of Sophie Payne who married James Gould Jr. in 1791. Hiram Payne (1763-1845) married Chloe Thayer (1774-1871) on Oct 17 1797.

The Vital Records at Coventry, VT [from pg 156 COVENTRY RECORDS, Source 39] list the following marriages:

It should be noted that Hiram Payne was not listed as a son of John Payne and Jemima Huthenson in this source. But Hiram Payne is shown in the Descendancy Chart below from the FamilySearch site. Source 37 (Alumni of Dartmouth College) proves that Hiram is one of their sons.

Karen Sims found in Source 41 that a Jemima Payne married Israel Smith in 1771. Presumably this Jemima Payn is the daughter of John and Jemima (Huthenson) Payn.

A descendancy chart for John Payne (1725-) is available from FamilySearch (Source 45). Go to Source 45 for the most up-to-date and complete information. A short version of it (as of Aug 7, 2016) is shown below:

Hiram was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1787 as can be seen in Source 37 which was discovered for us by Karen Sims. An early post from Karen Sims about Hiram Payne appears in Source 46. Another later post from Karen Sims asking about Hiram Payne is shown below:

Hiram Payne Lebanon Ct, Hanover NH, Cape Breton Nova Scotia, PA, Lyons & Palmyra NY

Classification: Query

Surnames: Payne, Paine, Thayer, Tisdale, Hutchinson
Are their any descendants of Hiram Payne who can shed some light on his brother's John and Lemuel? -

From: Dartmouth Alumni 1787 (Source 37) we find: 
"Hiram Payne, A. M. the son of John(1) and Jemima (Hutchinson) Payne, was born at Andover, Ct, in 1763, and died at Palmyra, N. Y. Mar. 22, 1845, Age. 82. He early went to the island of Cape Breton ; after 8 years returned to Hanover; then lived in Pennsylvania engaged in land business; was next at Lyons, N. Y. a merchant; and at length removed to Palmyra. He married Chloe Thayer." --

Hiram's birth is recorded in Barbour (Source ?) as 15 Jan 1763. This is the only birth of a child of John recorded on this page of the records, but the same page records the children of Joseph Payne Jr and Elizabeth Sims (who are also mentioned in WorldConnect: Source 40 [of whom perhaps Karen Sims is a descendant]). Other family trees record Joseph Jr as a brother of John (1). --

A quick Google search finds that Hiram was hired as the first schoolmaster in Sydney, Cape Breton, in 1790. -- 

John Payne (1) and Jemima Hutchinson also have 3 children recorded in Coventry CT:
Jemima, 1 Feb 1748;
John (2), 13 Apr 1751;
Lemuel, 28 Mar 1755; -- there may be more children recorded in another town, 1755 to 1763 is a large gap.

John (1) and Jemimah are probably members of the Andover Religious Society which covered part of 3 Connecticut towns.
-- 
John Payne (2) is supposed to be the John Payne who married Lydia Tisdale, 7 May 1775, in Lebanon CT (marriage not in Barbour [Source ?] but is in the reprint edition of Bailey [source ?] ) and ended up in Cow Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. -- 

I have tracked John Payne Sr, John Payne Jr and Lemuel to Hartford, Vermont and Hanover, NH, where John Payne Sr is an innkeeper, but had been unable to connect John (2) with Cape Breton.

This record for Hiram does indicate that the Hanover to Cape Breton connection exists.
-end of post about Hirem Payne by Karen Sims.

In 1772 John Payne Sr. built an Inn in Hanover NH, next to Dartmouth College

Both John Payne Sr and John Payne Jr were surveyors and laid out the plots for many NH towns. They were paid in land, (one plot in each town they surveyed) and when property taxes were instituted after the war, they lost most of it to back taxes (seems rather unfair)

John Payne JR was not a loyalist - he served as a Lieutenant in the revolutionary war. In 1820 he returned to the US and applied for a revolutionary war pension. image attached. Last known address was Castleton, Staten Island, New York. Died 11 Mar 1825. There is a woman, Ester, who collected a widow's pension based on John Jr's pension, but I personally believe she was a fraud.

Thanks to Karen Sims for the above document. For some of this data, her source is Source 41 below. A searchable text version of ther email can be found at Source 47.

In Karen Sims' email (Source 47), she lists the death date for John Payne (1751-1825) who married Lydia Tisdale. A reference to this death date is in Source 55.

Another source of a different death date for John Payne who married Lydia Tisdale is Source 53 on a web-site created by Roy Murrant. (Roy Murrant can be found by viewing Source 54.) Source 53 says:
JOHN PAYNE
was born April 13, 1751 in Coventry, Tolland, Connecticut, and died July 25, 1814 in the Madeleine Islands [Ed. in Quebec, Canada]. He married LYDIA TISDALE May 17, 1775 in the First Congregational Church, Lebanon Conn. [USA]

John was probably Captain John Payne. He left the USA and moved to Cape Breton in 1788 and settled in Cow Bay, Cape Breton . He moved frequently, possibly the result of his occupation. He was in the Madeleine Islands in 1802, Ingonish in 1811 and he witnessed the second marriage of his daughter Sophia to William Commons in the Catholic Church in the Madeleines in 1814. He probably died there. Correspondence would seem to indicate that he was a boat builder, a mast builder or had a skill related to the marine industry. He was apparently unhappy with his relocation to Cape Breton, likely a "reluctant loyalist". One can speculate that he had a trade valuable to the British and was forced to relocate to Cow Bay to aid war efforts.
Lydia Tisdale and John Payne Jr. were the parents of Sophia Penn (sometimes spelled Payne or Paine) who married James Gould Jr. on 21 JUL 1791 in Saint George church, Sydney, Cape Breton, N.B., Canada.

Donna Baron of the Lebanon Historical Society has provided the following information about Lydia Tisdale:

Sent: Mon, Jan 18, 2016 8:10 am
Subject: request for Tisdale - Pain (payne) family information

Thank you for contacting the Lebanon Historical Society regarding your Tisdale & Payne ancestors. I am happy to try and find a birth record for Sophia Pain, but as I began to see what information we had already pulled for these families, I found the following

WINDHAM PROBATE RECORDS Special Vol 5 Page 217
John Payne of Hartford in the County of Windsor State of Vermont (so called)
in his own and the behalf of Lydia his wife who is sister to Mr. Nathan Tisdale
late of said Lebanon dec.
dated Sept 28, 1787

See Early Conn Marriages by F. Bailey
Lydia Tisdale (the dau of Ebenezer Tisdale) m John Pain May 7, 1775
First Cong. Church

This probate record indicates that at the time of her brother Nathan (a very well known school teacher) death in 1787 Lydia [Tisdale] Pain and her family were living in Hartford, Vermont.

Lydia Tisdale, daughter of Ebenezer and Hope and named for an older sister Lydia who died as an infant was baptized March 19, 1749. Her sister had been baptized February 14, 1742

Although I can find a record of John & Lydia's marriage in Lebanon Vital Records and in her home church records, , I do not see any children's births listed and Sophia was not baptized here. Other than his marriage, I cannot find any definitive information about John Payne. He might be the son of Joseph and Anna Payne (born April 26, 1725 ) [Windham Vital records, book A, page 81] who lived in Lebanon's north or Crank ecclesiastical society. If this is the case there might be records available at the Columbia, CT Congregational Church or from the Columbia town historian. In 1804, the Crank Society became the modern town of Columbia, CT.

This leads me to wonder if John and Lydia moved to Vermont shortly after their marriage. The only way to explore that from here will be to look at land records to see if they sold property in Lebanon. If you would like to have us do that, or to have look through the manuscript vital and church records to see if Sophia's birth was over-looked when the Barbour transcriptions were done, I will direct you to the genealogy page on our web site. Our volunteer genealogist is very capable and very generous with her time. She requests that you make a $50 donation to the Historical Society in addition to paying $0.50 for copies of records.

You might want to contact the Hartford, VT historical society http://www.hartfordhistory.org before we undertake what may or may not reveal any information that is useful to you.

Please do contact us if you'd like us to search land records for you, but, I recommend you see if there is more information to be found in Hartford, CT

Lydia Tisdale and Benjamin Franklin have a common ancestor named Peter Folger (c1617-c1689). His descendants including both Lydia Tisdale and Benjamin Franklin can be seen at Source 18. Lydia is at descendant level 5 and Benjamin is at descendant level 3. At descendant level 10 there is a person named Thomas Joseph COLE (c1860-), not related to the webmaster, see Source 19. At the FamilySearch site, there is someone of the same name, Thomas Joseph COLE (1856-1930) who is probably the same person.

Two Different Persons: Sophie Penn and Sophie Peine

To distinguish between two female individuals named alike (i.e. Sophie Peine and Sophie Penn), Dennis Boudreau [a priest and renowned genealogist] writes:

This Sophie Peine is not to be confused with [Sophie Penn] the wife of William Cummings [after her marriage to James Gould]. This second bride of Benoni Arseneault [Sophie Peine] was found as a six month old child on the beach after a shipwreck at the Islands towards 1815. She was raised at Havre-aux-Maisons. (See Book 1: Harvey, Azade. CONTES ET LEGENDES DES ILES-DE-LA-MADELEINE, Vol. 3, 1977, pp 70-71).
Source 17, by R. Murrant, describes the family of John Payne and Lydia Tisdall, who are the parents of Sophia Payne. His sources include the "Dictionaire La Nobless Francais" and "Norman People".

Sophie Payne (1776-1857)

The Acadian Genealogy Exchange, Volumes 18-20 pp 54,55 (Source 32) begins with the following text:
SOPHIE PAYNE (PENN) OF THE MADELEINE ISLANDS: NEW FINDINGS

Note to the Readers: The following information concerning the ancestress
Sophie PAYNE (PENN) of the Madeleine Islands, Quebec, was sent to me very
recently by Mr. Paul Delaney, who personally researched the accompanying
iinformation with the assistance of Margaret Talbot of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society of Boston. MA. Mr. Delaney, a direct . . . . .

It is, of course, this same Paul Delaney who is contributing to this Article 108. Because copyright has not yet expired for the Acadian Gen. Exch. book, only a small portion of the text is available without either purchasing this book or requesting shared access to it.

Sophia PENN at the FamilySearch.org website

On June 14, 2018, the webmaster of this site visited the FamilySearch website and looked up Sophia PENN (FSID: KLL7-B6P in Source 6) , the wife of James GOULD Jr. (FSID: LRSC-X93). He noticed that her second husband, William CUMMINGS (FSID: GMTT-1KV), had not yet been added. Before adding any information one must check to see if the "new person" already exists at FamilySearch. To his surprise, another Sophie Paine Pern Penn had been added just days prior. This new Sophie Paine (FSID: KLL7-B6P in Source 56) was married to William CUMMINGS. This "new" unattached family line had been added by Guy CUMMINGS. It included no ancestors other than the parents of Sophie and William. It also included a narrow descendant line down to living persons. All verifiable persons matched existing information. The webmaster of this page has attempted to contact Guy CUMMINGS to share data and he has also notified Janine Barber of these recently discovered "cousins". Of course, these two Sophia PENN individuals should be merged when the "authors" of these two lines confirm the match.

Handwritten Tree: Gould and Leete Lines

This handwritten tree was scanned in two images, but the information is quite clear. It seems to contain an error concerning the wfe of James Gould Jr (1765-1844/5) whose name is Sophie Payne not Mary Payne. Note the reference to Gov. Leete (1613-1683) who is shown to have married Anne Payne. It is unknown whether this Anne Payne is related to Sophie Payne, but any relationship is improbable.

Anne Payne, wife of Gov. Leete (1613-1683) and daughter of Rev. John Payne (?-20 Sept 1635 in Southhoe, Huntington Co., England), was born in England. Sophie Payne (1776-1857) is a descendant of Stephan Payne (1626-1691) and his wife Hannah Bass whom he married in Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA, USA. Stephan Payne (7 May 1626 in Tenterden, , Kent, England - 29 jul 1691 Braintree, Norfolk Co., MA, USA) arrived in MA about 1649 and became a freeman in 1653. Another source says that he immigrated in 1638. Huntington is 90 km north of London and Tenterden is 70 km southeast of London. These very distant cities make a common ancestry improbable.

Source 27 contains a reference to an Anna Payne (b. c1621) who married Gov. William Leete. Source 27 is a WorldConnect database named "barnardrupert" prepared by Rupert Young. The reference to Anna Payne is by Patrick A. Payne (papayne@atl.mediaone.net) whose email address is no longer in use. As of Apr 2, 2020, Source 63 does refer to Patrick A. Payne at this website, but the Anna Payne (1621-) is not mentioned. Rupert Young has no recent contact information for Patrick A. Payne. This is unfortunate because Patrick A. Payne seems to have done considerable research on Anna Payne (b. 1621 in Southoe, Hunts, Eng.) There is an Anne Payne (1616-1668) daughter of a Rev John Payne (1595-1635) who married a William LEETE (1613-1683). She is found at Ancestry.org, Source 58. Her ancestors have a surname of Pinney (not Payne).

Source 27 refers to the original WorldConnect database that was damaged and is now unreachable. However Ancestry has rebuilt a version of the WorldConnect database. In the rebuilt version of the WorldConnect database, Source 62 , the Warder Family Tree (37), refers to Anna Payne (1621-1668) who married William Leete (c1612-1583). This Anna Payne is the daughter of John Payne or Pinney and Anne Underhill. It is unclear why William Leete (c1612-1583) is also referenced as Wm Logan LEETE. One would think that the name of a Governor of Connecticut would be known with certainty.

Note that the handwritten pedigree is "reflected" at the right margin (to save paper). Thomas Gould (1667/8-1732) is the father of Nehemiah Gould (1716-1758), not his brother. Similarly, Benjamin Leete (1686-1741) is the father of Asa Leete (1726-?) not her brother. Janine Barber has uploaded the information about Frank Charles Gould (c1861-1936) to WikiTree: here

Source 28 provides a link to the FamilySearch pedigree of Charles Gould and Ada May Merrill (whose mother was Mary Jane Leete). Clicking on the "www" link of Source 28 will take you to this pedigree at the FamilySearch site (where you will be asked to sign in with a username and password which you can set up for free). Clicking on the "FamilySearch: Charlie Frank Gould (1865-1936)" link of Source 28 will show you an image of the same pedigree without requiring you to sign in. Of course, both contain similar information as on the handwritten tree shown above. The advantage of the tree at the FamilySearch site is that it contains much more information which should also be more complete. Living persons are not displayed at the FamilySearch site. The disadvantage of this information being at the FamilySearch site is that anyone in the world can change or delete it.

The above handwritten tree on the right contains the following note mentioning the names of the parents of Gov. William Leete:
"Gov. Leete came to Guilford, Conn. in 1639. He was son of John and Ann (Snute) Leete, born 1612-13 in Dedington, England, educated in law at Cambridge."
An image (as of Jan 31, 2016) of the FamilySearch pedigree of F.C. Gould and his wife Ada May Merrill is shown below:

Grave of F.C. Gould (1865-1936)
An image of the grave stone of Frank Charles Gould (aka F C Gould and Charles Frank Gould) can be seen at Source 33. This source identifies his wife as being Ada May [nee Merrill] Gould (1867-1930) with whom his children were:
See Source "FindAGrave: Frank Charles Gould" L28Z-YHR MXTR-5DL Ada M. Merrill
The graves of all four appear in the FindAGrave website. Frank Charles Gould was buried in Center Cemetery in East Hartford, Harford County, Connecticut, USA. This website links to the grave of the first wife of Arthur I. Gould named [Gerda Charlotte Johnson] (? - Nov 30 1969). It also links to their son named Earle Frank Gould (1917-2011), his wife, Evelyn Bengtson, and her parents.

A Barber Family Gedcom in the possession of Janine Barber cites a third child Helen [nee Gould] May who has been added to the above list.

St. George's Anglican Church in Sydney, Nova Scotia


St. George's Anglican Church is where Sophia Pain and James Gould were married.

This little church was built in 1790 for use as a garrison chapel for troops and residents in the Sydney area. Due to major deterioration of the stone walls, it was entirely rebuilt in 1859. An interesting, though not authenticated, feature is The Bishop's Chair. It is said that it came from the wardroom of the HMS Victory and it serves as a memento of the time Lord Nelson and his crew once attended service at St. George's.

More information is available from Rootsweb at Source 15.

St. Lawrence church in Bovington, Hertfordshire, UK

Thomas Gould (1455-before 1520), an ancient ancestor of James Gould, worshipped at St. Lawrence church in Bovington, Hertfordshire, UK. He was born and died in Bovington, Hertfordshire, UK. The exact relationship can be seen at WikiTree (Source 5). The first photo below is a photo of St. Lawrence church. The second photo (from Google Maps) shows that Bovington is approximately 12 km west of the city of St. Albans. Charles Percy Cole, the grandfather of the webmaster of this page grew up in Wheathampstead which is approximately 10 km north-east of St. Albans. Both locations are marked with a yellow star on the map.

Reuben R Herriott's Death Record


Ray Harriot sent a photo of the death record to Jan in 2016 with the following note:
Jan –

In case you don’t have this… It’s Reuben Randolph Herriott’s (R. R. Herriott) death certificate from 1874 in Massachussetts. It states he was born in Broome, New York… and that his parents were David and Rebecca. It does however state that his father David was born in Virginia which I believe is in error.

Ray
Line 76 of this death record indicates that R. R. Herriott died Aug 12, 1874 in Medford. The Barber family GEDCOM indicates that he was born 11 Jul 1807 in Broome, New York.

Sources Note: The www link is a "live link" to the web. Many web pages change and are moved, even to different websites by their webmasters. Eventually some pages become "lost". Because web links (maintained by others) can deteriorate with time, a second link is given. It may be a more-reliable link to a back-up copy of the pertinent information on the web page or to an alternate source of the information that was similar to the "live link".
