Biographical Sketch of Lt. Gov. Golden. Cadwallades Golden, Lt. Governor of the Province of New York, known in the scientific and literary world as a physician, botanist, astronomer and historian, was born on the 17th February, 1688, (N. S.) in Ireland where his mother then happened to be temporarily on a visit, i His father was the Rev. Alexander Golden, Minister of Dunsie in Scotland. He graduated at the University of Edinburgh in 1705, but being disinclined to the Ghurch for which he was intended, he proceeded to London where he embraced the profession of Bledicine. He immigrated to Philadelphia in 1710, "a mere scholar and stranger in the world." He returned, however, to London in 1715, where he formed an acquaintance with some of the most distinguished literary characters of the day, and in the course of the following year married Alice Ghristie, daughter of a Clergyman at Kelso, Scotland.
