Hi, I haven't been on this list for quite a while. I decided to once again tackle my PARKER/GOULD/MASSACRE lines. I am particularly interested in my GOULD line. I have a marriage cert. from my ancestors, John A. GOULD of Pequannock, who m. Elizabeth MASSACRE of Pequannock, on July 31, 1830, at the First Presbyterian Church, Rockaway, NJ, by the Rev. Barnabas King, D.D. It is possible that John's middle name is "C." In the letter (dated 1997), it says that Rockaway Borough and Township were part of Pequannock Township. That parish covered approximately a ten-mile radius. I have Elizabeth's line, but I have never gotten a definitive answer as far as the name of John A. GOULD's parents. This is my quest. My x-grandmother, Catherine GOULD Parker, was in the newspaper, in Dover, NJ, re: the GOULD Association (she was the president for many years), and mention of her Revolutionary War GOULD ancestors. I have found (and have) copies of (Rev. War) pensions for various NJ/NY GOULD applications from the Nat. Archives ... but I don't know which is the correct patriot. The letter (re: the marriage, above) ends by saying that there may be a marriage application for John A. GOULD and Elizabeth MASSACRE at the Pequannock Town Hall, 530 Newark-Pompton Turnpike, Pompton Plains, NJ. Does anyone on the list live close to the Pequannock Town Hall who could check that out for me? (The letter in 1997 was signed W. R. Monroe, Jr., Sec., Cemetery Comm.). Finally, the line from them to me is: John A. GOULD m. Elizabeth MASSACRE (m. 1830) their dau., Catherine GOULD (b. c. 1838), m. Obadiah S. PARKER John C. PARKER (b. 1859) m. Mary SIMISTER Frances PARKER (b. 1882) m. Francis W. CROWLEY Mary Parker CROWLEY (1907) m. C. Stewart CAMPBELL Betty CAMPBELL is my Mom, b. 1928. My PARKERs left NJ and settled in New Bedford, MA. I had noted that John A. GOULD's parents were John Abraham GOULD & Catheriene COUGHLIN (his second wife). I just don't have a definite answer. I am also seeking the rest of this GOULD line. I have some names, but no backup. Thanks so much! Betty Govoni Middleboro, MA
