Gould Family Livestream

In 1887, Jay Gould, a New York railroad baron, arrived at Mount Vernon by yacht. The superintendent, Colonel Harrison Dodge, gave Gould, his wife, and three children their first tour of Washington's home.
When Gould asked who owned the land to the north just past Washington's famous ha-ha wall, Colonel Dodge bemoaned that it would soon be in the hands of greedy investors. Gould did not hesitate and purchased the 33-acre lot himself and presented it to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.
Tune in on November 13 at noon ET for a live interview about the 1887 gift of land with Guy Martin, a descendant of Jay Gould.

I went to Edwin gould school called lakeside in 1976 and I loved that group home so much and mr.Gould pictures were all over the campus.

Jay Gould is my 5th great-grandfather's great nephew. Jay Gould and I share John and Betty More as ancestors. John More was a Revolutionary War soldier as well as the great grandfather mentioned who died in the Revolutionary War.

Interesting, my great-great-grandfather John Jay Gould had a stagecoach on the Erie canal.

Those so-called robber barons often did good things for their country and for society in general.
They do not often get credit for the beneficial things they did for others.
