Nathaniel Gould shows in the 1830 and 1840 Census in Newfane, VT. Esther Follansbee Taylor's notes list William, Charles, Lizzie, and John as siblings. In the Census, there are 30 Goulds in Windham County, including some names similar to the listed siblings. On ebay I found a Directory of Newfane, Vt. date ?, I wrote to the seller to see if any Gould's were listed in it. Here is the reply: The Newfane directory lists two Goulds- Charles E. and John. They both lived off of Road 15. Not much is described about them-only that Charles was the son of John. John had a maple orchard with 400 trees and a farm with 77 acres. Because I forgot to write down the date I am unable to fit this into anyone's life. If I remember correctly it may have been in the late 1880's. CH

There use to be Gould's Mills in Springfield, Windsor Co., VT I haven't been able to find out if they are connected to our Gould's yet. Also the Gould's Mills Bridge, same town. In 1774 Gould’s Mill and a sawmill opened for business, and a settlement sprung up, including a school and several houses. Nearby, Paddock Bridge is one of only two surviving Baltimore Truss bridges in Vermont.

In the late 1800s, Springfield needed a railway in order for the town to grow.Across the River, tracks of the Sullivan County Railroad were already laid north as far as White River Junction. Establishing a rail connection from Springfield became such a priority that in 1896 the Town created the Springfield Electric Railway Company, and gave municipal funds to support building a 4-mile link to Charlestown. The power house and dam at Gould’s Mills supplied the power to run the railway.
