Edward Going appears to have moved to Granville County, North Carolina along with other Going family members, around 1752-53.

The 1761 tithe list in Granville County, NC indicates that Edward Going has a son he is now listing, named Edward Going Jr – indicating that Edward Going Jr was born about 1745.  Another son is also listed named Reeps Going – he also would have been born around 1745 since this was both their first times listed on the tithe lists.

1767 is the last year that both Edward Going and son Edward Going Jr are listed on tithe records in Granville County, NC.

In 1770, an Edward Going is listed as a land owner in Fairfield Co, South Carolina – this may be either Jr or Sr.

In 1778 Michael Gowin of SC gives land to Jenkins Gowin in Granville Co NC that Edwin Gowin and wife are still living on (life estate given them).  From 1785 to 1789 there are several transactions involving the wills and probate, and land, belonging to Moses Bass and his wife Elizabeth Bass (see below transactions years 1785-1789) – they identify family relationships of several Going family members.  Family relationships based on transactions include:

1778 Michael Gowin of Craven Co, SC for love and good will to Jenkins Gowin of Granville Co, NC 80 acres part in Granville part in Bute Co, NC – Edwin Gowin and his wife to live on land till decd.

1785 in George Town Dist, SC – Moses Bass’ will identifies his wife Elizabeth Bass and several Going family members as beneficiaries of his will:

Jacob Going’s children
daughter Mourning Going
daughter Sarah Going
daughter Elizabeth Going
daughter Anne Going
daughter Cyntha Going

Joseph Going Junior (unknown relation to above).

1788 South Carolina in Richmond and Anson Counties – Thomas Going gets letters of admin for estate of Elizabeth Bass.

1788 Green Co, TN – Thomas Going applied for admin of estate of Elizabeth Bass

1788 Oct – Edward Going of Granville NC sells to his “nephew” Thomas Gowen the rights and interest Edward Going had in Elizabeth Bass estate. Deed from Edward Gowing to Thomas Gowing.

There are several Revolutionary War claims for Edward Going (which must be Edward Going Jr – son) out of South Carolina and Granville County, North Carolina – they are possibly the same person based on the descriptions.

Granville County, North Carolina:  Granville County has several people with the same names, but obviously different families – it has at least two separate Going families living in the same county with several people having the same names.  I have created a chart based on tithe records I have located to attempt to differentiate the families:

This chart is based on the following tithe records:

1750 Edward’s brother or father, Michael Gowen appeared in the 1750 tax list of Granville County, paying a tax on two tithables.

1752 May 3: John McKissock of Granville County, North Carolina conveys 225 acres to Mical (Michael) Going. Land on both sides of Taillors Creek. Previously granted to John MicKissock by deed of 600 acres on May 2, 1752.  Wits: Theo Hunter, Broadhead Trulow, Francis Mabry. Signed: John McKisock. Proved up in June 1752 Court by Theophilus Hunter.  Test: Willm Eaton, pub regs. (Book B p. 73) Granville County, North Carolina.

Personly appeared in open court before the worshipful the justice of the court of Pleas and quarter sessions for the county of aforesaid mow sitting Edward Going a resident of sd. County aged between 90 and 100 years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress passed June 7th 1832 – that he entered the army of the United States in the war of the Revolution under the following circumstances (to wit).
He enlisted under Robert Temples as Captain at Warren Court house in the state of North Carolina at what time he does not recollect but that he did enlist in the nine months service, was marched from Warren Court house to Halifax, where he joined the regular troops in the 5th Regiment under Colonel Pink Eaton [Pinketham Eaton] & Mumford, he was stationed at Halifax about two months, he was marched from there to Kingston or Elizabeth town on Neuse River where he was stationed from six to eight weeks, from there he marched to Leesburg on Savanna River [Savannah River] where he was stationed from one to two months, then marched from there up the river to a place called the black swamp, where he was taken sick and sent from there to the Hospital in Charleston where he lay seven or eight weeks. Then he was removed over the Ashby River to Sullivan’s Island where he remained about three weeks when he was furtowed [furloughed] and directed to come home, his time of service being nearly out. After being at home a few days he went to the City of Warren to General or Colo. Guthrie Sumner [sic, Jethro Sumner] who gave him his discharge for the sd. tower of nine months. He kept his discharge several years and sold it to a W. Jno. Hall for six dollars that he does not know of any person by whom he can prove this service.
After he had been at been at home about two years he enlisted again in the three months service under Capt. Benjamin Eaves at Lewisburg in the state of North Carolina, where he imediately marched up the country, through a part of Virginia and again into North Carolina to the county of Guilford. There they joined the army commanded by General Green [Nathanael Greene] where he remained but a few days before the Guilford fight took place. He was in that fight [Battle of Guilford County Court House, March 15, 1781] and recollects that a Colo. Williams [Otho Holland Williams] on the day of the fight commanded that part of the army that he was in after the fight our company was confused and scattered. We were collected again near Rocky River, while the British army made a short stay at Ramsey’s Mill. We understood they stayed but a short time moved on towards Halifax North Carolina. We made but a short stay at Rocky River. We were marched from there to Camden town in South Carolina where we stayed but a few days. We were then marched over the Catawba River where we stayed but a few days before our term of service expired and we received our discharges but by what officer they were granted I do not now recollect. I took care of my discharge for several years & was told that it was no account and what has become of it now I know not. I know of no person now living by whom I can prove this three months service. My messmates while in the service or a part of them whose names I recollect were Ozzy Ball, Drew Jones & William Smith. I have heard of the death of Ball & Jones. I cannot tell what has become of Smith. I have continued since I left the army to live in the counties of Franklin and Granville in North Carolina. I have no documentary evidence by which I can prove any part of this service. I hereby relinquish every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declare that my name is not on the pension role of the agency of any state.
Signed and sworn to in open court.
