This family began as Cloth Merchants and they became very wealthy and influential with ties to the powerful de Vere family. They also had family ties with some of the founders of the Virginia Company, the Bacon family and the Gosnold Family from Otley in Suffolk. The most famous member of that family was Captain Bartholomew Gosnold, who led the first flotilla of ships to Jamestown.

This family line probably originated with the Suffolk branch of the Golding family. Dr. Sherburne Anderson originally claimed there was a connection between the Virginia line that originated with a man he said immigrated to Dorchester, MA in the 1630’s but there is no evidence to support that claim. Peter Goulding of Sudbury and Boston was the original immigrant to New England. There was no such person as Rev. Thomas Goulding of Dorchester.

THE GOULDEN FAMILY OF OXFORDSHIRE/WARWICKSHIRE
Point of Origin: Banbury, Oxfordshire and South Warwickshire, England
Family Connection: The Goulden Family of Oxfordshire/Warwickshire can trace their origin to 1275. This is my conclusion as to where John Gaulding came from. He was probably an indentured servant who went directly to Virginia from Bristol on a tobacco ship and was taken to Eltham Plantation where he served his indenture and lived for the rest of his life. There is no primary documentation to support my conclusion that John Gaulding of New Kent came from Warwickshire but my genealogical proof arguments are published on this website.
