They toiled and prospered until they were the owners of 300 or 400 acres. They kept a large dairy, sometimes over a hundred sheep, together with large numbers of hogs that they fatted for pork, besides two spans of horses, several yokes of oxen and young stock. They made vast numberos of pounds of butter in the fall and winter and big cheeses in the summer. In the fall he would take his team and transport his butter, cheese, pork and beef to the Boston markets and return laden with provisions for himself and neighbors, medicines for the Doctor and other articles desired by the home people. He sold quantities of wool, but saved enough for family use. Some he exchanged for satienet to be made into clothing, some was taken to the carding mill and then carded into rolls to spun into yarn; some for knitting stockings and some woven for the women folks. David was a large, well-proportioned man, and was over six feet tall and weighed nearly 200 pounds. He was possessed of a resolute will, had excellent health which gave him a strong constitution. His keen judgment was often called upon to settle difficulties. Both Mr. and Mrs. Gould were always kind and obliging to all their neighbors and in time of trouble none were more willing than they to do all in their power to give the needed comfort. None ever were turned from their doors empty, who came to them for relief. They were both members of the Congregational church. Mrs. Gould was converted and joined the church when Rev. Moses Miller was pastor. Mr. Gould was selectman for several terms, and also represented Heath in the legislature in 1852. He was at one time Captain of the old Floodwood Company, this is where he gained the title of captain. They stated on the farm until 1853 when they bought the place at the Center now called the Maxwell house, and there they spent the sunset years of their life.

Though a very young man when the fight occurred at the Concord Bridge and the battle of Bunker Hill, Eli Gould was filled with an intense love of liberty of a true patriot and at once enlisted in defence of his county. However, as he was much to young to enter the ranks, he was assigned the position of caring for General Washington's horse. It was a beloved service and he exercised much painstaking care to present the horse at any minute to the please owner, who often commended him for the faithful performance of his duty. Not long after the close of the war Eli Gould left Amherst and came to Heath in 1777.
