Hello Jim
Not sure what church my Goulds were members of. They certainly were poor. Isaac Gould did not own any property in Newfane VT or in Leverett MA. A probable son Charles C. Gould did own a small farm in Leverett and his "heirs" lived on it at the time Isaac Gould died in 1847.
I did find a few items on Lorenzo.
In Mass Soldiers in the Civil War (not sure if this is the whole title, it's a multi-volume setz0. 52cd Regiment Mass. Volunteer Infantry Company C.
Gould, Lorenzo D. Priv. Res. Northampton, weaver, 33, enl. Oct. 9 1862, must. Oct. 9 1862, killed June 14 1863 at Port Hudson, La.
Right below his name is that of Nathan P. Gould, prov. res. Northampton, printer, 42, enl Sept. 9 1862, Must out Aug. 14 1863.
Nathan Phillips Gould was one of the sons of Isaac Gould and Betsey Phillips.
History of the Fifty-Second Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers by the Chaplain J.F. Moors 1893
Company C.
Lorenzo D. Gould, place of birth Northampton, date of birth '29, Place of enlistment Northampton, Date of enlistment Aug. '62, Private, occupation ___, residence ____, killed in action Port Hudson June 14 '63.
I'm guessing the chaplain estimated the year of his birth from his age. The entry for Nathan P. Gould says he was born in Hatfield and enlisted Aug. '62. He lived in Hatfield previous to moving to Northampton.
Hampshire Gazette June 30 1863 (Northampton MA)
N.P. Gould, a private in Company C was also killed in the same action. He was formerly in the employ of Mr. Amos Sawyer in this town. It is said that his will was found on his person after death being dated just three days previous.
* It was actually Lorenzo who died, not Nathan P. Gould.
The probate file on Lorenzo Gould in Hampshire County Registry of Probate (Northampton MA) contains a document that states:
To the Honorable the Judge of the Probate Court in and for the County of Hampshire;
