HISTORY: TRACING THE ROOTS - GOLDEN FAMILY HERTAGE, INTRODUCTION -- AND THE EARLY DAYS OF THE FAMILY The surname Golding appears in ancient English and early American records in the various spellings of Golden, Goldin, Goldine, Goldyn, Goldyne, Goldying, Gilden, Gildens and Golding, of which the last is the most commonly used in America at the present time. Families bearing this name resided at early dates in the British Counties of Kent, Cambridge, Oxford, York, Wilts, Suffolks, Nottingham, Essex and in the city and vicinity of London. It appears that they were represented among the landed Aristocracy of Great Britain. The GOLDEN name is very rare and research has shown there is only about one Golden family for every quarter million Americans.
The earliest records of the name in England include those of Golding, Palmarius of Kent in 1273; those of Hilde Golden; Nicholas Goldin of Oxford, and Thomas Golding of Oxford; Hugo Golding of Suffolk at a later date; those of Henry le Golden at Somerset at a later date; and those of William Goldyng of Yorkshire in 1379; those Isabella Goldyng and Robert Goldyng of Yorkshire ten years later; and those of Henry Golding of Maiden Relegh, Bershire, about 1400. The Suffolk and Essex branch of the family was represented in the early part of the fourteenth century by two brothers, Warrin and John Golding. Thomas Golding, a descendant, married Elizabeth Worthie, with whom he resided at the family seat of Belchamp Hall. This manor had been owned by King Athelstan and known then as Bylcham. King Athelstan left it to his son, King Alfred. After the latters death it passed into possession of the Cathedral Church of St Paul's in London. In the reign of Edward the First, the Goldings purchased it and it remained in the family until the seventeenth century.
Thomas and Elizabeth Golding had, among others, a son John, who held the position of Auditor of the Exchequer. He married first Elizabeth Hammond, by whom they had Thomas, William, Margaret, and Elizabeth. By his second wife, Ursula Marston, he had further issue of Arthur, Henry, George, Edward, Frances and Dorothy. John died in 1547 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas.
Thomas, who was knighted while still a young man, held the positions of Commissioner for the certifying of Chantry lands in Essex and Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire. During his lifetime Sir Thomas annexed several large estates to the original seat of Belchamp. He married Elizabeth Royden. William, the brother of Sir Thomas married Elizabeth West and was by her the father of Edmund and Dorothy. Margaret, the eldest sister of Sir Thomas, married John de Vere, sixteenth Earl of Oxford.
Edward Golding, a descendent of the aforementioned Henry of Maiden Erlegh, married Anne English, by whom he had Edward, Charles, Charlotte, and Caroline. Caroline married Quilt John Greenly, while Charlotte married the Reverend Henry Winch. Charles, who entered holy orders, married Charlotte Palmer, by whom he had a son Henry, who, like his father, entered the Church as a profession.
Among those of this name who served in the American Revolution were Richard, Robert, Simon, James, Isham, Abraham, Jesse and John Golden of Virginia; Echubod Jr., John, John, Jr., Joseph and Eleazer Golding of Massachusetts. Some of the Christain names preferred by the family for its male offspring are John, Thomas, William, Edward, Charles, Henry, Arthur, and Ephraim. The following are a few of the bearers of the name who have distinguished themselves in America in comparatively recent times:
Louis Thorn Golding (b. 1865), of New Jersey, Editor and publisher.
Frank Henry Golding (b. 1875), of Connecticut, public utility Executive
Louis Golding (b. 1895) of New York, Author.
Edward William Golding (19th century) of New York, Writer.
Claud Golding (19th century) of Pennsylvania, Historian.
One of the oldest and most frequently used of the coats of arms of the Ancient English family of Golding, from which the American families of the name trace their descent, is that described as follows (Burke, Encyclopedia of Heraldry, 18440J) Arms - - "Gules a chevron argent between three bezants." Crest - "A dragon's head erased vertically collared and line or." BIBLIOGRAPHY for Pages 1-3 Information: Bardsley. English and Welsh Surnames, 1901. Savage. Genealogical Dictionary of New England, 1860. Morant. History of Essex, 1778. Nunsell American Ancestry, 1887-1899. Burke Extinct Baronetcies, 1844. Burke Landed Gentry, 1875.
