• Notes

  Ancestor to President Lesli Lynch “Gerald” FORD —— Mr Gove was known to have a forceful nature, to be quite frank, or even blunt. He did not hesitate to avenge himself if he felt he'd been wronged. This caused him to appear in court several times for "forceful language and personal assault." He was fined in 1673 for abusing Nathaniel Weare, also of Hampton, and calling him a thief. He was made a freeman 4 December 1678 and represented New Hampshire in the first assembly in 1680. Due to the forcefulness of his personality, he was selected to lead a rebellion against the governor, Edward Cranfield. There were land and other disputes. Basically, the governor was sent to New Hampshire to "enforce" a supposed old land patent from 1622, that would revert a quarter of New Hampshire's lands and parts of Maine, so that those now living there would be forced to pay rents to the English Crown. The rebellion was rushed and all wound up captured. Mr. Gove was sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason. He eventually was pardoned, after three years, by Charles II and returned to New Hampshire; his lands to be restored.
