Before 1640: United Kingdom Wales ranks high as place of origin for our Goldens, an origin prior to coming to Virginia between 1628-1640. YDNA (67 marker match) from an 1847 English immigrant, James Keeling, which are undoubtedly related to the earlier 1600s Keeling immigration, shows the family to have been living in the Hungerford, Berkshire, England area for at least two generations. |

Gouldman / Keeling |
1650-1720 – Bit of a mystery here. atDNA strongly indicates descent from a combination of the Awbrey, Meador, Tomlin and Keeling line. Our Golden male yDNA is an exact match for the Keeling line so a Keeling grandfather exists. The first record of the Goulden name is with Barbara Goulden (b c1720 Caroline County, VA) who married into the Henry Rains family. Per the Winston Family History, Elizabeth Noel (c1713 VA – aft 1760 (SC)), daughter of Daniel Noel (b c1665 VA) married a Thomas Gouldman. No record of that marriage or any descendant genealogy exists — but DNA says this marriage is probably our grandfather whom we know as Thomas Goulden (b c1704 VA – aft 1790 SC). | |
| Thomas Goulden |
c1725 – abt 1800 SC … settled in Newberry, South Carolina no later than 1760-61. Thomas Goulden is the best candidate as the father of our William Goulden (c1750-1809) and/or Samuel Golden (c1770-1856). |
