I descend from Capt. john GOULD, brother of Priscilla. The story I have is that Capt john's wife defamed a Thomas Gilbert for drinking to much wine at their worship service & when in court Capt John stood up & begged Thomas Gilbert to stop speaking. I also have notes from GOULD research that states the GOULD family had no part of the Salem Witch Trials. I believe Priscilla's line is related to Winston Churchill BTW.
