Career
The probate of her will was argued by the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit as United States of America v. William L. Matheson, Executor of the Will of Dorothy Gould. Dorothy Gould was the granddaughter of the railroad magnate Jay Gould.
She was born in the United States in 1904 to Frank Jay Gould and Helen Margaret Kelly.
In 1919 she left the United States for Europe, never to re-establish residence in the United States. Roland was the third son of Count Friedrich Johann Prosper Graffenried de Villars and Countess de Diesbach-Belleroche.
Through this period she traveled as a citizen of the United States, relying upon a United States passport until 1934. Thereafter, due to the concededly erroneous refusal of the Passport Office to grant a new passport, she traveled upon an "affidavit in lieu of passport" issued by the American Consulate.
She died on July 6, 1969.
