Gould and Matilda moved to Lower Cornwallis, NS -- March 1851
AHD -- page 1411 has entry for Gould.18 Feb 200114:54:27On Apr 16, 1943 Florence Fisher of Fisher Jr. College wrote a letter to Mrs. Leo Davison with information on Gould and his children. Mrs. Fisher was a grandchild of Gould. She concurs on most of what we have. She said Gould died on 22 Aug 1887. Matilda died some time in Feb 1902. She changed Gould's and Matilda's marriage date from 31 Dec 1899 (after Gould died) to 22 Dec 1835 (two yrs before George was born). She knew that Eliza J. died in Bridgewater, MA; Lucinda E died in Boston; Harris M. died in N.S.; and Ida was still alive in Independence, MO. She says the following...
Gould N. Davison was listed in Hantsport as a "Master Mariner"
as also his son Albert. Grandfather farmed in his later life and
was a Deacon of the Baptist Church. He was a son of Oliver
Davison and Barbara Trefry. Oliver was a son of Timothy. Timothy
was a son of John. John son of either William or Thomas? Thomas
was a son of Daniel, our earliest forbear in New England. He was
a soldier under Cromwell. After Cromwell's defeat Daniel with
others was banished to America. Here he redeemed himself and
married Margaret Law of Ipswich, Mass. His son Thomas married
Hannah Tracy or "Trace" also of Ipswich from whom she traced her
lineage through Lieut. Thomas Tracey of Tewksbury Gloucestshire
England whose lineage goes back 12 generation through "M.P.s"
knights sherriffs to King Alfred the Great. Records show they
were Pre-Loyalists probably moving in onto the vacant Acadian
farms at the invitation of the Government. Families were large
in those days so there are many of us tinctured with Davison
blood altho not bearing the name.
She is probably confusing Barbara Martin (who married Oliver) with Mary Trefry who married Peleg Holmes and was Matilda's mother. Both women were Tamzan's (and Holmes's) grandmothers. We have no record of a Barbara Trefry, but Barbara Martin is of unknown parentage and origin.8 Feb 200314:43:33Capt. Jos. Burton was from Yarmouth, NS. R. Hantsport, NS, and CA. We have a book "Beatrice Witherspoon" by Emma Beatrice Burton. Andrew was Holmes Johnathon's twin brother. Died in infancy. Sophia Ann 2nd m. 5 Dec 1871 in Medford (Kings), NS to Geo Leander Sanford b. 1839, d. 1883. Eliza J. may have been b. 1845. Harris Mayhew may have been b. 1849, d. 1922. Clara Heustis b. 1864, d. 1931 Gould may have been born 29 Jun 1812, or 23 Jun 1812. He may have died on 22 Aug 1887 (Mrs. Fisher). Matilda may have died on 29 Feb 1902 (Mrs. Fisher) or 29 October 1902 (Falmouth book) or 1900 (Falmouth book). George Nelson may have been born on 27 Nov thus dieing on his birthday. (Mrs. Fisher agrees with 29 Nov).
Gould was a Baptist deacon. About 1851 he abbandonded the sea to become a farmer. Seven years later, about 1858, he gave up the farm and went back to the sea. The farm was in Pereaux, Kings county, Nova Scotia.18 Feb 200114:55:07The Falmouth book lists a 12th child Delos, resides Pereau, NS.18 Feb 200114:40:10The Falmouth book lists birth dates only for George, Harris (1849), Eliza (1845).18 Feb 200114:41:17
