1579-1635 Percival Golding
————— 1580-1640 Emily Farmer
————— Offspring: Gideon, Percival Jr, (John) William
————— Note: The line from Percival Jr is a most interesting branch of the family and has a much documented history of its own. Percival Jr immigrated to Barbados and then his descendents later immigrated to New York. En route in their immigration the family supposedly stopped in the Jamestown, Virginia area but continued on after deciding that greener pastures lay further north. The family split during the Revolutionary War and a number of loyalists went to Canada. Regardless, this is a very interconnected family and am in contact with some today. Unlike their southern more rural cousins, this branch has left a very large amount of trackable information as they have lived through the ages.
1598- 1673 (John) William Golding >>> Possibly immigrated to Massachusetts or to Virginia via Bermuda
————— Married: ??
————— Offspring: John
