John GOULD Cpt.

He was repeatedly selectman and state legeslator: "few names aqre more frequently found in the town, county, and court records."  (George Francis Dow, History of Topsfield, MA.  [Topsfield, 1940:], 26.)

Zaccheus I GOULD

Zaccheus was fined for harboring a Quaker.  George Albert Smith, LDS Prophet, spooke of one ancestor who shelered a QUaker, and gave offense to enertain QUakers in the days of our benerable ancesor, yet now we feel a price that he was so liberal minded.  We admire that hatred of appression which prompted Aapt John Gould to reely express his views in contempt of Sir. Edmund Andros, the tyrannical governor." These comments wer in response to Humphrey Gould's letter to George A. SMith of May 26, 1870 (From Rowe, Massachuhusetts), mentioning John BOuld's criticism of "Edmund Andros, the hateful, tyrannical governor of Massachuesetts" - and ocmmneting on prominence of John's father, Zaccheus Gould , in early records: "Again in 1659 as a criminal.  Wha, our noble ancestor a criminal?  Verily so.  He was fined three (3) pounds for harboring Quakesr.  They were kindred from Rhode Island."

So George Albert Smith's "grave offense to entertain Quakers" clearly refers to John Gould's father, Zaccheus Gould, who in 1659 was fined three poiunds for housing his Quaker nephew Daniel Gould, who in turn was sentenced to whipping and ordered to leave the area.  Zaccheus Gould's fine was remitted six months later "in conceqauence of his great loss lately sustained by fire."  Primary and secondary sources of this episode are surveyed in Benjamin Apthorp Gould, The Family of Zaccheus Gould of Topsfield (Lynn, Mass., 1895), 31-32. The work eveidently used for the abbreviated account in Dow, HIstory of Topsfield, 26.

George Washington PENLAND

George Washington Penland

Posted by Donna Carmichael on Mon, 03 Jan 2000

Surname: Penland, Edington, Bolin, Crum, Rice, Ring, Smith, Eslinger, Whittenburg, Copening, Holland, Wright, Hargis, Dyche, Garner, Grindle, Taggart, Clifton, Coin, Letchworth, Akers, Dennis, Shipman, Clift, Shields, Boulding, Duncan, Nobles, Huffman, Decker, Stanford, mcUnion

George Washington Penland was the first son born of William Penland and Mary Casey. He was born in Roane County, Tennessee. His siblings were; Dydeema, Mathilda, Barbara Caroline and Alexander. George's brother, Alexander, owned a plantation near Triana, Alabama and was slaveholder. Alexander was a Prebysterian minister and there is a record of his ministry in "The Church called Ebenezer" by Francis A. Nalls. Alexander had a school for ministers in his home. George W. Penland sent his son, Alexander, to Alabama to learn the ministry from his namesake and uncle Alexander. Young Alexander died there during the Civil War.
In 1836 George married Nancy Edington, daughter of James Edington and Nancy Agnes Scott. Nancy was born about 1819 in Tennessee. About 1837-1838, George W. Penland left his birthplace of Roane County, Tennessee and moved to Webster County, Missouri. George and Nancy had 10 children; Isaac, Mary Jane, Alexander, Caroline, Philip, Lorinda, Larkin and James Wingfield . There were also twin babies who died in their first year. In Webster County, Missouri he acquired several hundred acres of rich bottom land on the Osage Creek near Marshfield, in the Ozark Hills. In Marshfield he was a farmer and stockman, often traveling back to Tennessee to buy cattle. He hired a caretaker to oversee the farm while he made the long buying trips. On the Missouri ranch, George built a large farmhouse, that still serves as a residence today.

He was the first man in his area to buy a wagon, as sleds were mostly still used at that time. He was the first man to buy a cookstove and all the neighbors for miles around came to see the wagon and cookstove.

In 1852, shortly before the birth of their last child, George and Nancy separated. George's last child by Nancy, James Wingfield Penland, was born in 1952 at Winfield, Missouri, where Nancy resided after her separation from George. The other Children stayed in residence on Marshfield Ranch with their father. George married his second wife Lucinda Bolin in 1852. George and Lucinda had four children, Evelyn, Francis Marie, and twins Lucinda Jane and George Washington, all born on the Marshfield Ranch. George Washington Penland died intestate in 1862 on his Marshfield Ranch. The state administered the estate upon his death.
