"Robert Ould (Old), son of John Olde and _____ Gatherest, of Sherborne, Co. Dorset, England …was born at Sherborne in 1645; emigrated to America, date unknown; first discovered at Windsor, Conn., in 1667, apprenticed to Jacob Drake; married there December 31, 1669, to Susannah Hanford (died January 6, 1688); moved to Suffield, Conn., 1673; married there April 1, 1689, Dorothy Granger (died -, 1728), daughter of Launcelot (born 1620; married Joanna Adams, 1654; died September 3, 1689). In 1670 Dr. Robert Ould was granted 50 acres, corner of High Street and New Haven Road, in Suffield; the old cemetery adjoins its N.E. corner. 'He was one of the first five proprietors of Suffield, was a prominent man in the young town, and first to have title of Doctor, was agent for the town at the General Court (Legislature) in Boston in 1694, making two trips to Boston, and receiving for expenses, himself and horse, £7-15-0. The services rendered were valuable, the town was poor and unable to pay the Colonial Taxes, which amounted to the great sum of £228-4-9. By his efforts these were 'Rebated, Remitted and Forgiven' by the General Court. The land he dwelt upon can be traced from the Records; A highway, 'Old Street,' long bore the name in the Records.' He died at Suffield, January 16, 1727/8."
