(Note re Going/Gowen lines:  At least some of the Going/Gowen lines appear to have come out of Gloucester County and New Kent County, Virginia.  Unfortunately, records before the 1860s in Gloucester County, Virginia, and New Kent County, Virginia, have been destroyed.  Some state-wide records prior to the 1860s from those counties, for land grants, indicate that some Going families were living in those counties.  But since the county records were destroyed, it might not be possible to piece together where several of the above Going lines came from).

The clusters of Going families that lived nearby in the 1750s were:

1)  Drury Going and James Going who lived in Brunswick County, Virginia that later becomes Greensville County, Virginia.  (The parental line of Drury and James Going is unknown).
2) Edward Going, Michael Going, Thomas Going, and Joseph Going who were living further south in Granville County, North Carolina around the Tar River and Taylor’s Creek area (this appears to the be group of Going’s who came from Henrico and Hanover County, Virginia).

(Additional info from): http://jg1758.blogspot.com/2012/08/newly-found-possibility-william-gowen.html ;  (Note:  John Going died in 1721 so he is not the father. William b. 1680 died some time in 1725/26 – so he is likely not the father (unless the William Gowen of this page was actually 11 yrs old – close to 12). Peter Going died in 1753, so he is not the father (as William b. 1727 is called an “orphan” in 1737).  So of the Going men we know of in the area, that leaves James Gowing b. 1680, Thomas Going b. btw 1650-70 – maybe too old but who knows, Ambrose Going who disappears from records after his 1726 deed to his mother, and Moses Goin who only appears in one record in 1733 as possible fathers. Most likely candidate of those in the area would be Ambrose Going – he only appears in one record in 1726 and then disappears -it is possible he died some time between 1727 and 1737).

John Straughan is mentioned as a tenant of the Alexander Family in the 1730s in the Howson patent litigation. Additionally, he shows up in several Court Minute/Order records in Fairfax County, Virginia as well.

SEE ALSO:

A William Gowin first shows up in 1739 in Goochland County, Virginia.  He is a witness on transactions, meaning he is at least 21 years of age by 1739 – making him born before 1718 – (For now, I am estimating his year of birth some time between 1705-1715).
