Captain John Goulding played a crucial role in battles during the First and Second Dutch Wars. He was killed in a naval skirmish on April 13, 1665. Raised in Ramsgate, Kent, he came from a family of ship owners and seafaring men. Samuel Pepys mentioned him in his famous diary. This page on Gaulding Origins traces his military career as well as his family connections.
STEPHEN GOULDING, the father of John “of the Diamond” Goulding
Stephen Goulding, the father of John “of the Diamond” Goulding was born on 1 April 1582 in St. Laurence in Thanet, Ramsgate, Kent, England.(2) He was the son of Roger Goulding (3) and Denise Pettit (2) (4) and on 30 January 1608 he married Katherine Coppin in Ramsgate, Kent, England. They had three sons: Roger Goulding, John Goulding and Stephen Goulding. Katherine Coppin was from both a military and a maritime family. (1)
Stephen Goulding appears as a Musketeer in a Muster held in March of 1619, and he also appears in the Muster of able, seafaring men at Ramsgate in March 1623: (1)

Stephen GOLDING and Catherine Coppin had the following children:
ROGER GOLDING was born about 1625.
JOHN "CAPTAIN OF THE DIAMOND" GOLDING was bornon 14 November 1613 at Ramsgate, Kent, England.(11) His father Stephen was the son of Roger Goulding. (9) He married Anne FOWLER on 26 Dec 1645 in St. John, Margate, Kent, England (8). She was born in 1629 in St Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, England and died before 1697. He was killed in battle in a Naval Skirmish during the Second Dutch War. He commanded the 35-gun ship “Diamond”.
STEPHEN II GOLDING married ANN "AGNES" SPENCER, the daughter of Nicholas Spencer who along with Stephen Goulding, Sr. appears in the Muster of able, seafaring men at Ramsgate in March of 1623.
Military Events in the life of Captain John Goulding of the Diamond
1625 Born - John Goulding was born on 27 March 1625 in St. Lawrence, Thanet, Kent, England, the son of Stephen Goulding.
1645 Married - John Goulding married Anne Fowler on 26 December 1645 St. John, Margate, Kent, England. He was 20 years old at the time of his marriage.
1651 Captain John Golding, a Royalist supporter of Charles II, sold a valuable merchant ship to aid the exiled prince. After Cromwell's victory at the Battle of Worcester, Golding chose not to live under Cromwell's rule, sailing his ship to the Netherlands. There, he sold both the ship and its cargo, delivering the proceeds to Prince Charles in France. His loyalty provided the penniless prince with much-needed funds for lodging and meals. (12)
1652 The naval Battle of Dungeness took place on 30 November 1652 (10 December in the Gregorian calendar) [a] during the First Anglo-Dutch War near the cape of Dungeness in Kent. Involved were these ships:
Lion (42 guns) commanded by Captain CHARLES SALTONSALL. Captain Charles Saltonstall was an English naval officer who commanded the Lion, a 40-gun ship, during the Battle of Dungeness on November 30, 1652. This battle was part of the First Anglo-Dutch War, a conflict between the Commonwealth of England and the Dutch Republic over maritime dominance. The Lion was one of the English ships under the overall command of General at Sea Robert Blake. Despite their efforts, the English fleet was outnumbered and suffered a defeat at the hands of the Dutch, led by Admiral Maarten Tromp. This loss allowed the Dutch to temporarily gain control of the English Channel. (14)
Hound (35 guns)
1652 The First Anglo-Dutch War (1652-1654) was a pivotal naval conflict between the Commonwealth of England and the Dutch Republic. Its significance lies in several key areas: (15)
Economic Rivalry: The war was primarily driven by competition over maritime trade and shipping dominance. England's Navigation Act of 1651, which restricted foreign ships from carrying English goods, directly challenged Dutch economic interests and sparked the conflict. (15)
Naval Innovations: The war saw the development of new naval tactics and strategies. English Admiral Robert Blake introduced the "Sailing and Fighting Instructions," which revolutionized naval warfare and influenced future engagements. (15)
Shift in Power: Although the Dutch initially gained victories, England ultimately emerged as the dominant naval power. The Treaty of Westminster in 1654 ended the war, with the Dutch making minor concessions, including recognizing the Navigation Act. (15)
Foundation for Future Wars: The unresolved commercial tensions and rivalry set the stage for subsequent Anglo-Dutch Wars, shaping European geopolitics and colonial competition for decades. (15)
1657 Kidnapping of Henry Crisp: The August 1657 kidnapping of HENRY CRISP, a sheriff of Kent and firm Parliamentarian, from the Manor of Quekes House, Birchington, Isle of Thanet by CAPTAIN GOLDING of Ramsgate "a fine, tall man of about 50, who was attached to the court of King Charles in Paris with no particular capacity but with orders to make himself generally useful." (12) It was the daring CAPTAIN GOLDING who hatched the plan to kidnap Crisp in order to reclaim taxes due to the king, replenish his diminished coffers and assert the royal authority over the kingdom from which he was exiled. (12) (11)
1660 Given command of the HMS Diamond. After the Restoration in 1660 he was given naval command of HMS Diamond, a 50-gun ship launched at Deptford in 1652. (11)
1665 Died in Naval Battle during the Second Dutch War. His death is mentioned in the Diary of Samuel Pepys. He died in the hour of victory on 10 April 1665, defeating three Dutch frigates. The motto of the HMS Diamond is "Honour is the brightest jewel." Captain John Golding lived up to that motto." (11)
"The name of Goulding occurs frequently in the annals of the colonies, and is not without some distinction in English history. The death of CAPTAIN GOULDING, commander of the ship Diamond, on board which he was killed April 10, 1665, in a victorious engagement with the Dutch, qualified the joy felt at the victory in the frivolous court of Charles the Second.".(12)
1665 Captain Golding is mentioned in the Diary of Samuel Pepys: "From the Diary of Samuel Pepys p 571
"...very sorry fellow, which vexed me...Captain Silas..17th..To the Duke of Albemarle's where he showed me Mr. Coventry's letters, how three Dutch privateers are taken, in one whereof Everson's son is captain. But they have killed poor CAPTAIN GOLDING in the Diamond. Two of them, one of 32 and the other of 20 odd guns did stand stoutly up against her, which hath 46 and the Yarmouth, that hath 52 guns as many more men at they.." (13)
From the Calendar of Treasury Papers: "Petition of Ann Goulding, widow of Captain John Goulding, who was killed at sea, in the service of King Charles the Second; stating that at the time her husband was killed, he had taken two men-of-war prize, after a sharp engagement; praying for payment of an arrear of 200l. due on her pension of 120l. per ann., or for tallies on the customs or excise.
Minuted:—“11th Jany '93. Shee is upon the list.” 1 page."

The Dutch Wars
1665 The Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667): (16)
• Cause: Continued trade rivalry and colonial competition.
• Notable Events: The Dutch raid on the Medway, a significant humiliation for England.
• Outcome: Treaty of Breda (1667), favoring the Dutch in terms of colonial gains.
The Anglo-Dutch Wars were a crucible for the evolution of naval strategies, shaping maritime warfare for centuries. Here's how strategies evolved through these conflicts: (16)
• Line of Battle Formation: The wars saw the refinement of the "line of battle" tactic, where ships formed a single line to maximize the firepower of their broadside cannons. This strategy became a cornerstone of naval warfare.
• Specialized Warships: Both England and the Dutch Republic developed purpose-built warships, moving away from repurposed merchant vessels. Ships were designed for speed, maneuverability, and heavy armament.
• Naval Logistics: The wars highlighted the importance of supply chains and maintaining fleets at sea for extended periods. This led to advancements in provisioning and ship maintenance.
• Command and Communication: The conflicts underscored the need for effective leadership and communication during battles. Admirals like Robert Blake and Michiel de Ruyter became renowned for their tactical innovations.
• Economic Warfare: The wars were as much about disrupting trade as they were about direct naval engagements. Blockades and privateering became key strategies to weaken the enemy's economy.

Charles Saltonstall, likely the son of Sir Samuel Saltonstall and brother of Wye Saltonstall, was a sea captain and author of the rare 1642 book “The Navigator.” In its dedication to Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, he describes himself as distanced from his homeland and family due to numerous voyages. The book highlights his experience sailing with the Hollanders and offers valuable navigation insights. He may also be the same Charles Saltonstall who criticized Sir Anthony Thomas in 1640-1 for inefficiency in draining the fens near the river Witham.

Samuel Pepys and family connection to the Golding Family of Essex
It would appear that Samuel Pepys, the Diarist was well-acquainted with John Goulding, but what was the association? There was a connection between the Golding and Pepys families with the marriage between Margaret Golding and Richard Bendish. She was his second wife, his first being Elizabeth, the daughter and coheire of Edmond Riebers of Norff. Richard was also the brother of Elizabeth Benders, and she married JOHN PEPYS of Cottenham in Cambridge. The following is from the Visitation of Essex, 1634.
Samuel Pepys wrote in 1655 when he heard about the death of Captain Golding:
"...very sorry fellow, which vexed me...Captain Silas..17th..To the Duke of Albemarle's where he showed me Mr. Coventry's letters, how three Dutch privateers are taken, in one whereof Everson's son is captain. But they have killed poor CAPTAIN GOLDING in the Diamond. Two of them, one of 32 and the other of 20 odd guns did stand stoutly up against her, which hath 46 and the Yarmouth, that hath 52 guns as many more men at they.." (13)
Margarett Golding is identified as the daughter of ___ Golding from his second wife. Her husband Richard was the son of Thomas Bendish and his 4th wife Margery, the daughter of Roke Greene. Elizabeth, the wife of John Pepys was also the daughter of Thomas Bendish. This John Pepys is NOT the father of Samuel Pepys the Diarist. His parents were John Pepys and Margaret Kite. The John Pepys who married Margaret Golding John Pepys of Cottenham, born around 1530 in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England, was a prominent figure in his time. He was the son of William Pepys and Edith Talbot. John was a member of Gray's Inn, a prestigious legal society, and he played a significant role in the development of Impington Hall, which he began constructing after purchasing the Ferme Part estate in 1579. Unfortunately, the hall was incomplete at the time of his death in 1589. John Pepys is also notable as an ancestor of Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist. (21)
There is a complete genealogy of the Pepys family available at Pepys’s Diary, https://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclopedia/familytree/
Who was Margaret Golding?
That's how Samuel Pepys was related to Richard and Margaret Bendish of a different line of the Pepys's family, but who was Margaret Golding, named as the daughter of __ Golding and his second wife in the Visitation of Essex 1634. It is assumed she was from the extensive Golding Family of Essex.
Essex is where the following families in my FTM database were from:
• Bellett, Elizabeth (1585-1625)
• Brymley, John
• Bull, Grace (1620-1692)
• Fitch, Thomas (1600-)
• Glosser, William (1560-1616)
• GOLDING, Henry "of Little Birch", the brother of Arthur "The Translator" Golding (1528-1576)
• Gosnold, Joane (1530-1591)
• Hallom, William "of Burnham, Essex" (1601-1657)
• Royden, Ursula (1544-1610)
• Sulyard, Mary (1497-1544)
• White, Josias "Rector of Hornechurch" (1613-1643)
• White, Rev. Richard "Vicar of Hornchurch" (1508-1588)
Margaret Golding could have been one of the many descendants of John “of Essex” Golding. That family would have been of sufficient social status to marry into the powerful Bendish family, but then again she might very well have been a descendant of one of the Poslingford branches of the Golding Family. I don’t have any additional information about her.

Too bad the Visitation didn’t call out the first name of her father. My conclusion is that John Goulding “of the Diamond” was also a descendant of the Essex branch of the Golding Family through John “of Essex” Golding, but that is not proven. It is just a theory.

• Diplomatic Role: He served as ambassador to the Ottoman Sultanate from 1647 to 1655. His tenure was marked by challenges, including disputes with his predecessor and conflicts with Ottoman clerics over commercial matters.
• Support for the Monarchy: Bendish was a staunch supporter of King Charles I during the English Civil War. This allegiance led to his imprisonment in the Tower of London and the sequestration of his estates.
• Contributions to Education: He donated a collection of fifty books to St. John's College, Cambridge, covering a wide range of subjects, including sciences, mathematics, and astronomy.
• Advocacy for English Merchants: As ambassador, he worked to secure trading privileges for English merchants and even used gunboats to negotiate capitulations with the Sultan.
