Notes:

From "Notes on the Gosnold Family" by Warner F. *Gookin (printed from Family Tree Maker, Genealogies of Virginia Families III, Fl-HA, Notes on the Gosnold Family:
About the time that Columbus was discovering America, there was born in the valley of the Finn in the county of Suffolk, England, a Robert Gosnold. He was to become the patriarch of a family seated at Otley and straeading out into the surrounng villages. In his last will and testament he bequeathed to his latest infant greatgrandchild, Bartholomew Gosnold, a nest egg of L20, one of eight similiar bequests to the children of his grandsons. The family flourished into greatness, and allied itself with the powerful in the land.
Like the river Finn, debouching into the tidewaters of the Deben a few miles from his home, this scion of the family Bartholomew went down to the sea. In the prime of his life he became a moving spirit -- a contemporary called him "the firstver" -- of the expedition that began the settlement of this country at Jamestown, where he lies in a forgotten grave.
This is the story told by a printed pedigree chart of the Gosnold family in the possession of the Virginia Historical Society. The manuscript original of this chart was made in 1890 by a proud descendent of the Gosnolds, Charles Frederick Gosld of Norwich, England, whose name appears prominently on the next the the last line of the printed version.
*The Rev Warner F. Gookin, retired, has been engaged in research work on behalf of the Dukes County Historical Society, in regard to Bartholomew Gosnold's discovery of the island of Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts. He is the thor of Capawak alias Martha's Vineyard, published by the Society at Edgartown, Mass, 1947.
