Biography of Elizabeth Garrard Lady Gould 1644-1683

Paternal Family Tree: Garrard

Around 1644 Elizabeth Garrard Lady Gould was born to John Garrard 2nd Baronet (age 30).

Before 27th December 1663 Nicholas Gould 1st Baronet and Elizabeth Garrard Lady Gould (age 19) were married. She by marriage Lady Gould of the City of London.

Around 27th December 1663 [her husband] Nicholas Gould 1st Baronet died. Baronet Gould of the City of London extinct.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 1st January 1664. Several others came to me about business, and then being to dine at my uncle Wight's (age 62) I went to the Coffee-house, sending my wife by Will, and there staid talking an hour with Coll. Middleton, and others, and among other things about a very rich widow (age 20), young and handsome, of one [her former husband] Sir Nicholas Gold's, a merchant, lately fallen, and of great courtiers that already look after her: her husband not dead a week yet. She is reckoned worth £80,000.

Before 20th June 1664 Thomas Neal and Elizabeth Garrard Lady Gould (age 20) were married.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 20th June 1664. Thence to my Lord's lodgings; and were merry with the young ladies, who make a great story of their appearing before their mother the morning after we carried them, the last week, home so late; and that their mother took it very well, at least without any anger. Here I heard how the rich widow, my Lady Gold (age 20), is married to one [her husband] Neale, after he had received a box on the eare by her brother [[her brother] John Garrard 3rd Baronet (age 26)] (who was there a sentinel, in behalf of some courtier) at the door; but made him draw, and wounded him. She called Neale up to her, and sent for a priest, married presently, and went to bed. The brother sent to the Court, and had a serjeant sent for Neale; but Neale sent for him up to be seen in bed, and she owned him for her husband: and so all is past. It seems Sir H. Bennet (age 46) did look after her. My Lady very pleasant.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 13th June 1665. By and by comes to us Sir John Shaw and [her husband] Mr. Neale, that married the rich widow Gold (age 21), upon the same errand. After eating a dish of creame, we took coach again, hearing nothing of the Duke (age 31), and away home, a most pleasant evening and road.

On 21st January 1683 Elizabeth Garrard Lady Gould (age 39) died.
