Gould was born in Roxbury, New York, to Mary More (1798–1841) and John Burr Gould (1792–1866). His maternal grandfather Alexander T. More was a businessman, and his great-grandfather John More was a Scottish immigrant who founded the town of Moresville, New York. Gould studied at the Hobart Academy in Hobart, New York, paying his way by bookkeeping. As a young boy, he decided that he wanted nothing to do with farming, his father's occupation, so his father dropped him off at a nearby school with fifty cents and a sack of clothes.The most expensive item with a signature of Jay Gould (Troy, Salem and Rutland Rail Road Company signed by Jay Gould) was sold in December 2023 for $790.00 while the cheapest item (Jay Gould’s “Hello World” PB 1966, signed by author) found a new owner for $0.99 in March 2023.
