       "The Gove family was very early in New Hampshire, being located at Hampton, and was subsequently numerously represented in the town of Weare.  It was first planted in Massachusetts, and has supplied many useful citizens of this and other states, the descendants of them residing in New Hampshire, being widely scattered throughout the country by this time.  Its accociations are honorable and its record worthy of emulation.  It is an ancient name, being found in the state papers of London as early as 1541, and is common in some parts of England at the present time.

       The american founder of the family, John Gove, was born, 1601, in england, and was an early resident of Charlestown, Massachusetts, arriving there some time before April 28, 1646.  His wife Sarah was also born in 1601, and accompanied him.  He was a dealer and worker in brass, as appears by his will and schedule of personal property.  He must have died in middle life, as his wife subsequently married John Mansfiled and removed to Lynn, Massachusetts, where he died.  She died in Hampton, New Hampshire, March 4, 1681, aged eighty years.  Their children were: John, Edward and Mary."

       "Edward , second son of John and Mary Gove, was born in england in 1630, and came with his parents to Massachusetts, when he was in his teens.  He resided in Salisbury, Massachusetts, as early as 1657 and purchased a right of commonage there.  He sold his land and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, in 1665, and was a prominent citizen of that town.  In 1683 he was a member of the assembly which was dissolved by Governor Cramfield.  The disovlution of the assembly created much resentment among the people of New Hampshire and Gove headed a movement to overthrow the government.  This he surrendered without bloodshed, and with ten others, including his son John, was tried for treason and convicted.  He received a sentence of death, and his estate was seized as forfeit to the crown, the others being pardoned.  Gove was sent to England and was kept a prisoner for three years in the Tower of London, after which he was pardoned and his estate resotred to him in 1686.
       He was the progenitor of a numerous family.  He was married, about 1660, to Hannah, daughter of William and Johanna (Bartlett) Titcomb of Newbury, Massachusetts, formerly of North Banks, England.  He resided in Salisbury, Massachusetts, as early as 1657, when he boughta right of commonage there.  He sold land there in 1665, and moved to Hampton, New Hampshire.  In March, 1665, while still living in Salisbury, he bought of Eliskim Wardwell a dwelling home and about thirty acres of land in Hampton, "with one share of the Cowe Commons," also a grant of fourscore acres of land at the New Plantation, with the privileges thereto belonging. He died, May 21, 1691."
