In 1795 William Baring had assumed by royal licence the additional surname and arms of Gould, in accordance with the terms of his inheritance of the manor of Lew Trenchard from his mother Margaret Gould, daughter and eventual heiress in her issue of William Drake Gould (1719–1767) of Lew Trenchard. The Gould family was descended from a certain John Gold, a crusader present at the siege of Damietta [Egypt] in 1217 who, for his valour, was granted in 1220 by Ralph de Vallibus an estate at Seaborough in Somerset.
