========================================
Nathan Gould was in Captain Woolcotts' Co. in 1757, and was in the campaign against crown point in 1775.
The birthdate of Nathan Gould is variously reported as 8 January and 18 January 1734. The date of his marriage has been alternately seen listed as 1756.
Nathan left Charlemont, Massachusetts for Virginia (West Virginia) in 1816. He traveled with Aaron Gould (who, I believe, was his cousin... the son of his Uncle Moses). Nathan was 82 years old when he made the trip... and he died within two weeks of arriving.
His brother, Jonathan Gould, fought and died in the Revolutionary War.
His son, Paschal Paoli, was named for the Corsican General (but died young).
In 470 Years of Service, Stanley H. Fidler writes:
Nathan and Martha Gilbert Gould moved to Charlemont, Massachusetts in 1782 or shortly after the death of Martha's mother Ester Perkins, aged ninety-one (91). They settled in what was later known as Gould Hollow. Nathan's father Samuel went with him but died in 1791, and his body was taken back to Brookfield and buried beside his wife. Before moving to Charlemont, Nathan, with his brother Samuel, served in Colonel Nathaniel Wolcott's company made up in Brookfield in the French and Indian War and fought at the battle of Crown Point. Martha Gilbert, Nathan's wife, had two brothers in the Revolutionary War, one of them Captain Daniel Gilbert lived to be ninety-six (96) years of age, the other Joseph was a Colonel and fought at the battle of Bunker Hill. When war first broke out and the alarm at Lexington was sounded by Paul Revere April 19th, 1775, Colonel Joseph Gilbert headed a company of minute men and marched to Roxbury.

July 13th, 1817, attended to the request alluded to in the above vote and voted to recommend Lydia the wife of Robert Young.
In Charlemont Massachusetts, Frontier Village and Hill Town, authored by Allan Healy and published in 1965, the following is written about Nathan Gould:
The 1774 town list shows many other men whose names are still today borne in the town: Ebenezer Fales; Jeremiah Gould; Nathaniel Stephen, and Valentine Harris; William Hartwell; William, Samuel, and Abner Negus; Job Warfield; John, Gershom, and Nahum Ward, who lived on Buckland side - and Wards are still prominent in Buckland.
Most of these men came with the Lancastrians - Warfield came from near Hingham. Joseph Wilder, Jr. owned land along the West Oxbow Brook, called Wilder's River on the old maps. Goulds settled up Hartwell's Brook - it was called Gould Hollow. Aaron, Jeremy, and Nathan Gould came here shortly before the Revolution. Aaron build a frame house in 1777 and had a tanner in the meadow to its rear. The old vats and the stone which trundled on the bark to mash it are still there on Warren Albees's farm. Nathan had a saw mill on the brook. They were supposed to have been engaged in counterfeiting and one night in 1808, after hearing that they were to be arrested, they packed up all they owned and moved out, with their pigs in their ox carts and their cows tied behind. They settled in French Creek, Virginia. The church there wrote back to the Charlemont Church for letters recommending them and copies of their confessions.
Research needs to be done to ascertain the above dates. If Nathan left Charlemont in 1808 with Aaron and Aaron arrived in French Creek in 1808, but Nathan did not arrive until 1816... where was Nathan in the intervening years?
Note that it is reported that Nathan's son Gilbert Gould, daughter, Lydia Gould Young and son-in-law Robert Young made the trip from Charlemont to French Creek in October and November 1811.
