~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jarvice Gold came to America with the family of Clement Bates, in the ship "Elizabeth," Captain William Stagg, and took an oath in London, April 6, 1835, and his age is given as thirty years. The party brought a certificate from the justice and the minister of the parish of All Hallows, Lydd, county of Kent, England. They probably sailed that month and were with Parson Peter Hobart's company in the settlement of Hingham, Massachusetts, that year. He was granted a home lot of five acres July 3, 1636, but removed to Boston before 1646, where he died May 2, 1656, aged fifty-one years. His wife's name was Mary, whom he married about 1644, and they were designated, in the records, as of the church of Hingham. She was alive March 11, 1649, but he outlived her. He was a cordwainer and they had at least two children: John, born July 28, 1646; and Joseph, March 11, 1649, who died before 1656.
