Golding/Golden/Goulding Family History on Facebook
Commentary by Catherine Gauldin
George Golding did not survive according to the information I have about him. He was probably a relation of Bartholomew Gosnold. Below is all of the information I have regarding the Goulding/Golding immigrants to Jamestown. I’m looking for more information about THOMAS GOLDING/GOULDING, listed in the Census of 1623. I lose track of him after 1638.
Note by Bill Golden: Bartholomew Gosnold was married to Mary Golding (b1595, Grundisburgh, Suffolk, England; d.23 Oct 1665 in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England; daughter of Robert Golding, Esq., and Martha Judd). Bartholomew Gosnold was responsible for the exploration of Virginia and the establishment of the Jamestown Colony.
A very good overview of the relationship among the Gosnolds, Goldings and the Judds can be found in the Judde Family History. There were several Golding-Gosnold marriages, to include Joane Gosnold (1511-1551+) marrying John Golding (1510-1551).

VIRGINIA IMMIGRANTS AND ADVENTURERS, 1607-16351: A BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY records four Gouldings who came to Jamestown in Virginia as servants between 1607 and 1623. The following information is recorded:
- GEORGE GOULDING – In 1607 George Goulding, a laborer, arrived in Virginia in the first group of colonists that settled on Jamestown Island (1) (CJS 2:142)
- GEORGE GOULDING – George Goulding arrived at Martin’s Hundred (7) around mid-January 1623 and was one of the Society of Martin’s Hundred’s servants. According to fellow servant, Richard Frethorne, Goulding died shortly thereafter in the home of Mr. William Harwood, the settlement’s principal leader (VCR 4:60)
- SARA GOULDINGE (GOULDOCKE) – Sara Gouldinge (Gouldocke) came to Virginia on the Ann in 1623. In early 1625 she was living within the corporation of Elizabeth City, where she was a 20 year old servant in the household headed by John Banum and Robert Sweete (18) (CBE 64)
- THOMAS GOULDING – Thomas Goulding came to Virginia on the GEORGE in 1623 and on February 4, 1625 was living at Martin’s Hundred (7) where he was a 26 year old servant in Ellis Emmerson’s house. In August 1638 Thomas Goulding secured a patent for a lot in urban Jamestown (1) (CBE 61: PB 1 Pt. 2:595)
- Thomas Goulding is listed in the Jamestown City, VA Census of 1624 as a 26 year old servant in the household of William Harwood in Martin’s Hundred. This conflicts with the information posted above that he was in the service of Ellis Emmerson.

Golding, George laborer
Bartholomew Gosnold was one of the most important of the Jamestown settlers and an interesting notation regarding a possible family connection to George Golding5, laborer is discussed:
Here brief mention may be accorded to some of those lesser lights in the colonial experiment, some who are known or surmised to have been relatives or friends of Bartholomew Gosnold. In addition to his friend Gabriel Archer, Gosnold took with him his younger brother, Anthony, and the son of his first-cousin Robert, another Anthony, aged not over eighteen. George Goulding, a laborer who went along, was also most probably a relative — a close one, perhaps, of Bartholomew’s wife, or a distant one of Bartholomew himself.
Bartholomew Gosnold was b. 1572, Suffolk, England , d. 22 Aug 1607, Jamestown, Virginia of malaria and his second wife was MARY GOLDING, Mary was the granddaughter of Sir Andrew Judd, the Lord Mayor of London and there is also a definite link through the Gosnold family to the GOLDINGS of Essex County and Suffolk County, England and to SIR THOMAS GOLDING of Essex County. The geneology of Bartholomew Gosnold (grandson of Robert Gosnold) is listed as follows6

He married first AGNES HILL, the daughter of John Hill of Ashbocking (vis) a parish three miles west of Otley. She was the mother of his children. He married secondly, ANN DOGGETT, daughter of Richard Doggett of Groton Lappage and widow of Thomas Bacon of Hessett…There was no issue of this marriage….
