  3. The death record of his daughter gives her father's birthplace as Scotland. Source:Perley, Sidney. History of Salem, Massachusetts, Vol. 3, p. 23, identifies him as John Goold, s/o George Goold and Mary Giles, b. 4 Oct 1744. Further research is needed, but the indicated birthplace would seem to suggest this is incorrect.
