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

1) John Going b. about 1700 who married Mary Keith – his family lived in Lunenburg County, Virginia in the 1750s – in an area that later became Mecklenburg County, Virginia (This appears to be the John Going who was the son of William Going b. abt 1681 of Stafford County, Virginia).
2)  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).
3) 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).
4) Alexander Going and his family who were living in the Orange County, North Carolina area.  (Alexander Going was another child of William Going b. 1681 of Stafford County, Virginia).
5)  William Gowen and his family who lived in the Bedford County,Virginia area.  (The parental line of this William Gowen is unknown).
6) William Going m. to Anna Statia Sullivan, Moses Going, and Aaron Going living in Goochland County, Virginia.  (The parental line of this William Going is unknown).
7) William Gowen and his family that lived in the “Grassy Creek” area of Granville County, North Carolina.  (The parental line of the “Grassy Creek” Going family is unknown).

(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).

Birth and Death years:  William Gowen appears to have been born about 1730, and likely died some time between 1796 and 1810.  His last time appearing on the tithe list of Bedford Co, Va is 1796.  His son William Gowen Jr. shows up on those tithe lists in 1797 and 1798.  Sons Daniel and Isham Gowen continue to show on tax records until 1799 and 1800.  A William Going appears on the 1800 tax lists of Madison Co, KY.  This appears to be the son, William Going Jr.  There is a William Goan who is also sued in 1801 back in Bedford Co, Va. regarding whether a full 100 acres of land was sold to a John Crane or not.  If William Gowen Sr was dead by this time, then this was most likely a suit against William Gowen Jr, who probably sold the land as he was leaving for Madison Co, KY.   It appears fairly certain that by the time the 1810 US Census in Madison Co, KY was done, that William Gowen Sr had died.  The 1810 US Census in Madison Co, KY showed his wife, Annester Gowin as the head of the household.

He was involved in a court case in 1761 in Bedford County, Virginia, May Court 1761:
Haisty vs. Goings – dismissed

March 20, 1762 William Going receives 240 acres of land on both sides of Island Creek at Walton’s corner in Bedford County, Virginia.  (Note: The deed is not recorded until 1780, which is not uncommon.  When I called the South Carolina Archives about another Gowen, when trying to find deed records and transactions, they informed me that often people would never record their deed at all.  They would receive the deed, live on the land a few years, then sell it to the next person who may do the same.  Eventually someone would record the deed, but there may be several buyers and sellers between who don’t record it.  The fact that William Gowen waited until 1780 to record may mean he possibly had a dispute (trespass lawsuit or threat of a trespass lawsuit, over boundaries, etc.) where he wanted the court to be clear he was the owner.  Or possibly he was considering selling to someone who wanted the deed recorded):

In August of 1774, William Going is listed in the Bedford County, Virginia militia during Lord Dunmore’s War:

The following roll and pay records from the Revolutionary War are from Virginia’s 14th Regiment, showing both William Gowen and Joseph Gowen in that unit together.  These “may” be records of William Gowen Sr, but it is possible that the records are for his sons, William Gowen Jr, and Joseph Gowen.
