One of the infamous "Robber Barrons" in the mid to late 1800's, Gould was born in Roxbury, NY. Upon his death, he was one of the benefactors for the reconstruction of the Reformed Church of Roxbury, known now as the Jay Gould Memorial Reformed Church. Gould, in his early years, refused to go into farming, like his father. He devoted himself, instead, to the study of surveying and mathematics.
History paints him in quite the unfavorable light, being shrewd and manipulative. He is also said to have been the cause of the Black Friday scare of 1869. By attempting to manipulate gold prices, he believed that there would be a large rise in the price of wheat, bringing wheat farmers to sell. This, in turn, would cause a tremendous amount of shipping of wheat products (such as bread) east. This would grow Gould's railroad business. The bid was only somewhat successful, as much of his earnings from the Black Friday scare were lost in resulting litigation brought against him.
The church in Roxbury still bears his name today.
