JOSEPH GOULD
Joseph Gould bought land from Governor Gawler - section 5616y � at One
Tree Hill, about1842. He
built a home and called it �Burrow Hill�. He divided his
attention between cattle and dairying. Later he purchased land
further down the creek - which is known as Goulds
Creek. He
didn�t have any sons, but he had three daughters. The eldest
daughter married William Kelly (son of Wm Kelly of Cudlee Creek,
who arrived in 1838). One sister married Britton-Jones and the
other married Percival Gaylard, a gentleman farmer who took over
�Burrowhill� and became one of the leading men in the
District.
William Kelly built the Goulds Creek home on land purchased from
Joseph Gould in 1848, after he married Elizabeth Ann Gould on
7-4-1846 at Holy Trinity Church, North Terrace Adelaide.
William was of age, being 23, Elizabeth a minor (possibly 20yrs) also on
the same day Elizabeth�s younger sister Susan Gould married
Briton Tasmania Jones. (Susan was probably 18yrs).
The Goulds Creek property grew wheat on the hills, which was
reaped with a stripper which had a stick of wood on the top with
a weight hung on the uphill side to stop the stripper capsizing!
They had Shropshire fat lambs which were sold at the sale yards
at the corner of North and West Terrace, where the Newmarket
Hotel stands.
A double decker trolley was used to transport the stock.
They also sold butter wrapped in cheese - cloth.
