That Roger Goulding is buried in this cemetery comes from the book "The Burying Place of Governor Arnold" by the Newport Preservation Society (1960), p. 35: "His [Goulding's] own stone, now unmarked, is probably the great thick sandstone slab from which a plaque doubtless bearing the identifying name and the Goulding coat of arms was torn at one time or other. A nail is still fixed in the sandstone slab." Roger Goulding first appears in the Newport records during the Court of Trials in May 1672 when he was charged with having a bastard child with Susanna Tallman of Portsmouth. He posted a bail of 50 pounds. Governor Arnold presided, and Goulding was acquitted. Less than a year later, on 1 Jan 1672/3, Goulding married the governor's daughter, Penelope Arnold. Goulding was a mariner, and held the title of Captain. As King Philip's War was coming to an end, Capt Roger Goulding and Major Peleg Sanford discovered the hiding place of the Indian chief King Phillip, and were given the honor of raiding his headquarters, which they did on 12 Aug 1676, killing him. Goulding was later granted 100 acres of land for his service in King Phillip's War. Goulding was a Deputy in 1685, and Major for the Island (Newport and Portsmouth) during several years from 1685 to 1691. The will of Roger Goulding of Rhode Island "now resident in Barbados" dated 22 Dec 1694 was proved two months later, on 1 March 1694/5. His ship, the Thomas and George, was to be sent home to Rhode Island. Following his death, his widow married Thomas Cutler. On 12 Jan 1702/3 Penelope Cutler, widow of Roger Goulding, was named among the proprietors of common lands as guardian of her son George Goulding, likely her only surviving child. Children of Roger and Penelope Goulding: * Damaris, b. Newport 17 March 1676[/7?], d. Newport 13 July 1677, was the first person known to be buried in the Governor Arnold Burying Ground in Newport. * Elizabeth, b. Newport 1678, d. Newport 11 July 1691, has a surviving gravestone in the Governor Arnold Burying Ground. * Thomas, b. say 1780, likely died young * George, b. 30 July 1685, d. 1742, m. (1) 17 Aug 1707 Mary SCOTT, daughter of John Scott and Elizabeth Wanton; m. (2) Mary (AYRAULT) Cranston, widow of James Cranston and daughter of Daniel Ayrault and Mary Robineau.
