Life

He was the son of John Goss (c.1768–1848) and Mary (Lamont) Goss (c.1767–1844).

He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1831, and practiced in Pittsford. On November 13, 1832, he married Margaret Porter (1814–1896), and they had several children, among them Assemblyman George A. Goss (born 1834).

He was a Justice of the Peace; a colonel of the State Militia; Supervisor of the Town of Pittsford for several terms; Clerk of Monroe County from 1838 to 1840; and a member of the New York State Senate (28th D.) in 1860 and 1861.
