1673 June 24 – Deposition of Christopher Gowin, age 24, saith that several times after John Williams, who drove away his mater’s mares out of the hundred, came to his mater’s house and came to deponent in the field, where he was at work, and told him he had brought home the old mare; whereupon deponent went to his mistress, his master not being at home, and she bid deponent go along with John Williams and see her, which he did; and went to Goodman Gill’s fence, where said Williams told him he had left her, but deponent saw none of her. Since, said Williams told deponent several times he would find her. Sworn at Ct. 24 June 1673. Christopher Gowin (CC)-mark.

It is unclear from the above records whether Christopher was indentured due to his being an orphaned minor taught a trade, a debt owed, or new to America.

COMPARE TO CHRISTOPHER GEWIN 

(NOTE: Christopher Gewin of Nansemond Co, Va appears to be a variant of Guin/Gwin (not Gowen/Going) based on his descendants surnames. He “may” have originally been a “Gowin” that changed the spelling of his name from “Gowin” to “Gewin”, and then due to the sound of the name, clerks at the courthouse and then his descendants began spelling it as Guin. This “may” be the same person as Christopher Gowen of this page that was in York Co, Va, but this is not clear – more information is needed to verify if this is the same person). 

  • Christopher Gewen Sr., his son Christopher Gewen Jr moved to Bertie Co, NC – unknown if Sr. had any contact with Bertie County, NC himself.  (Note:  This appears to actually be Gewen – not Gowen – see notes below).
  • Christopher Gewen Jr. born about 1684, in Nansemond Co, Va and Bertie Co, NC  (Note:  This appears to actually be Gewen – not Gowen – see notes below).

1688 Feb 17 – Christopher Gewen is a witness to the marriage of Leaven Bufkin to Dorrithy Newby. Minutes 1673 to 1756. pg 71. Nansemund Co, Va. Chuckatuck, Nansemond, Western Branch, Somerton Historical Meeting Data: Search for this monthly meeting in the ‘Quaker Monthly Meetings Index’
