FACTS and EVENTS:

(Note: We know that the records from Montgomery & Randolph Co, NC are related to this Thomas Going, so I start with those records. I believe there is circumstantial evidence in records from Fairfax Co, Va, Berkeley Co, SC, Georgetown Dist, SC & Granville Co, NC that may match this Thomas Going – since those are not confirmed – just presumed by this researcher, I place them after the Montgomery & Randolph Co, NC records).

Fairfax was created from Prince William County, 01 Dec 1742

Records mentioning Thomas Going are noted in Fairfax Co, Va include:

1739 May 29 – E-81: 1739 May 29 … Mr John Awbrey of the County of Prince William hath informed that there is a certain tract or parcel of waste land in the said county … about four miles below the Falls of Potomack River yet ungranted … confirm unto the said John Awbrey … land situate and being in the said County of Prince William on Potomack River side about four miles below the Great of Lower Falls of the said River and joyning to the lands of William Strutfield, Thomas Owsley, and Mr Robert Alexander and near the land of Thomas Gowing and bounded as by a survey made by Mr James Thomas as followeth .. on the west side the mouth of a Branch called Wincopin Branch opposite to the lower end of an Island in the said Potomack River called Malard’s Island and near a corner of a tract of land formerly survey’d for the aforesaid Strutfield … in the line of the land of the said Thomas Owsley … along Owsley’s line … in a line of the land of the said Robert Alexander … along the line of Alexander …thence up the said Patomack River … to the beginning.

1743 Thomas Going deed to Bates Fairfax Co Va p1

On Feb 4, 1739, James Going was listed as the owner of property that was adjacent to John Colvill, Robert Bates, Gabriel Adams, James Robertson, the late Rev. Mr. Brechin, and Simon Pearson – according to a deed granted to John Colvill on Feb 4, 1739 in Prince William County, Va.

1739 James Going living adjacent to John Colville grant in Stafford Co Va snip and marked 1

Going family members appear to be near the 100 acres of land that Thomas Going leased from Robert Bates, and that it is likely the same area that is mentioned in John Awbrey’s 1739 lease above (4 miles below the lower falls of the Potomac). 4 Mile Run is about 4-6 miles south of the lower falls (really rapids) of the Potomac. So the land mentioned in the 1739 Awbrey deed would likely be near the land mentioned in the 1743 deed to Thomas Going. It is also very nearby the land that James Going had in 1739 that is mentioned in the Colvill deed.

The THOMAS GOING of South Carolina in the 1750s: (Note: A Thomas Going shows up in South Carolina in 1750/1. This may be the Thomas Going from Fairfax/Lunenburg County, Virginia. The age would be about right – with 9 children in 1752, he most likely was born about the same time as the assumed birth date of Thomas Going from Fairfax. It is unknown if this is the same Thomas Going from Fairfax Co, Va, or if it is the same Thomas Goin who dies in Montgomery County, NC in 1797. The Thomas Going of South Carolina listed below had 9 children in 1752 when he applied for his land grant … this likely places his birth year on or before 1722 – as he would be 30 years old with 9 children in 1752 – this likely is the youngest he could be. He could have been born before that, as early as 1710 with 9 children in 1752. The 750 acre Land Grant in SC would have likely been in Richland County, SC once that county was established out of the Camden District in 1785).

The Ashley River Baptist Church was located in Berkeley County, South Carolina. The 6 acres of land for the meeting house was donated by gift in 1725, which was recorded as a memorial in 1733. See:

$40.00 ANNUAL ALLOWANCE, $120.00 AMOUNT RECEIVED, MAY 29, 1833 PENSION STARTED. AGE 92. State of North Carolina County of Granville. First Munday of Agt. 1832. Personly appeared in open court before the worshipful the justice of the court of Pleas and quarter sessions for the county of aforesaid now 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.

His descendants’ YDNA tests match YDNA from descendants of William Goyne b. abt 1733 of Orange Co, NC, Rutherford Co, NC, and Georgia, and match descendants of John Going b. abt 1700 who was married to Mary Keith. Because of this match, it is presumed this is the same Thomas Going from Fairfax Co, Va. There is no proof other than circumstantial evidence shown in the documents found to date.

Listed below are documentation for “Thomas Going” individuals that would be about the correct age who lived in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. These “Thomas Going” individuals may or may not be the same as this one. I list these records for research purposes, and not to claim this is a match – some may be, some may not as it is not agreed by all researchers where this Thomas Going was living prior to arriving in Montgomery Co, NC.

Section from Bev Nelson’s writings on Thomas Goin:

GENERATION: #6

Thomas Goin, Sr., born c1732 (My notes indicate b. abt 1720-30) in Stafford or Prince William County, Virginia, and died after signing his will on February 7, 1797. The tax list of 1799 for Randolph County, North Carolina, showed him as deceased.

Thomas was born in Stafford or Prince William County, Virginia, where his parents John and Mary Keife Goin were living. By 1750 he is recorded in Lunenburg County, Virginia, on the tithe list with John.[1] On May 30, 1752, John McKisick sold Thomas Going 150 acres in Granville County, North Carolina, on both sides of Taillors Creek for 6 pounds. Witnesses were Theo Hunter, Francis Mabry, and Broathead Trulowe.[2]

The Muster Roll of the Regiment in Granville County under Col. William Eaton was taken on October 8, 1754. Listed as Mulattoes were Thomas Gowen, Michael Gowen and Edward Gowen.[3] Listed under Capt. John Sallis’ Company were William Gowen and Joseph Gowen.[4] In 1755 both Thomas and William Going plus Joseph, son of William, were recorded in the tax list for Granville County. Listed together in John Pope’s District in 1767 were Thomas Gowin with Moses Gowin, 2 polls. On the 1769 list were Thomas and Moses, most likely the father and son.[5]

When the list of Granville County militia was made on October 3, 1771, Company Captain Sol. Alston was shown as deceased. On the list in consecutive order are the names: Thomas Going,, Senior, Thomas Going, Junior, John Going and Moses Going. This researcher believes that this listing combined with the previous lists indicates that Thomas Senior is most likely the father of Thomas Going, Junior, John and Moses.[6]

North Carolina law regulated the men required to perform militia duties. In 1715 the regulation had compelled all men between 16 and 60 years of age to train. In 1777 the law lowered the upper age to 50. Each county was then divided into Captain’s districts which allowed taxing and census. “Public officials, ministers, doctors, ferrymen, millers, Quakers and other were generally exempt from militia duty.”[7]

Since the rule of 1715 was still in force, the militia list of 1771 would indicate that Thomas, Sr., was under 60 but born after 1711. Moses, John, and Thomas, Jr., all would have been over 16, or born prior to 1755. Since the names of John and Moses had appeared previously, they are presumed to be older than Thomas, Jr. Thomas Goin, Sr., most likely named a son John after his father.

By the 1786 North Carolina state census, Thomas Gowing, Sr., was still listed in Granville County with one white male 21-60 years; 3 white males under 21 and above 60; 5 white females. On the same list is William Gowing with one white male 21 -60; 4 white males under 21 and above 60; and 2 white females. No blacks are listed in either household. In the next list are two more Going men: Edward and John. Edward is shown with 1 white male 21-60; 1 white male under 21 and over 60; and 3 females. In John’s household are 1 white male 21-60 and 3 females.[8]

Between 1786 and 1797, Thomas moved to Randolph County, North Carolina, where he wrote his will, as transcribed.

“In the Name of god Amen I Thomas Going of Randolph County and State of No. Carolina Being Sick and weakly In Body But in Perfect mind and memory Do Constiute this my Last Will and Testament First my body to be Decently Buried at the Decision of my Executor Hereafter mentioned and after my Just Debts are paid I give all my Estate Real and personal as Follows My Land Where on I now Live I give to my Two youngest sons Burges Goin and Burton Going to be Eaqully Divided I give my horse Sadle and Bridle to my son Burges going and my Fille I give to my Son Burten Going I give to my Daughter Hali Going my no horned White Faced Heffer and all the rest of my Property to be Equaley Divided Betwin my sons Burges and Burten and my Daughters Vina Hardester, Hali and Elizabeth Going and I Do here by appoint my Trusty Friend Thomas Pledger and Eben Hearn my Executors to this my Last Will and Testament

Signed and acknowledge in my presents of us this 7^th Day of February 1797

his

William Bailey I wrote Thomas T going

Jeremiah Bailey mark”[9]

Because of the wording of the will “my two youngest sons,” and the approximately thirty years difference in ages between the oldest and the youngest children, Thomas Going, Sr., probably had children by at least two different wives. One undocumented study claimed that the mother of the younger children was an Overton.

Probable children of Thomas Going, Sr. There may be other children.

1) Moses Going, born c1749, was listed in sequence on the Muster Roll of 1771 with Thomas, Sr., Thomas, Jr., and John Going. He was listed on the Granville tax list of 1785 as was John.[10] He may have been the Moses who bought 100 acres on Middle Creek, Granville County, in 1768.[11]

2) John Going, who was born about 1751, was taxed in the household of Thomas, Sr., in 1768.[12] He was also listed in the militia muster with Thomas, Sr., Thomas, Jr., and Moses. (See above.) He may have been the John Goin who bought land in Claiborne County, Tennessee in 1821 from Sherman Thomas.[13]

3) Thomas Going, Jr., born c1755

4) James Going, born c1757 is possibly a son of Thomas, Sr., or a son of John Going. A James Goin, Sr., is on the Claiborne County Deed Index for 1815 buying land from Blair Davison. Both James Goen and John Goen were on the 1799 tax list in Grainger County, Tennessee, as was Thomas #20.[14] The records of the Big Springs Baptist Church which was built in 1792-3 on Little Sycamore Creek has records that probably pertain to James Going and John Going. The church minutes show that John Goin joined in 1802, followed by Charles Going on June 2, 1804, and by James Going and Elizabeth Going on July 2, 1804. In 1827 James and Elizabeth Going were dismissed by letter.

5) William Goin, born about 1759.

6) Vini Going was named in the will of her father, Thomas Going, Sr., and married a Hardester.

7) Burgess Going, who was born about 1765 (age 45+ on the 1810 census), was named in the will of his father, Thomas Going, Sr. He remained in Randolph County, North Carolina. (Note: Heinegg shows him dying in Montgomery County, North Carolina. But, Heinegg also had Thomas Going, Sr., dying there. This is an obvious error by Heinegg.) Burgess’ wife was probably Betsey whose name is found in an interesting racial court case with Burgess. Witnesses for the accused, James West Green, in a bill of complaint on August 29, 1810, were Zilphey Randoll, Burgis Goins, Betsey Goins, Betsey Cranford, John Russel, and Green Harris. Henry Delamothe complained that a certain negro wench Ceyla, his property, had been harbored by James West Green, Rebecca Green his wife and Clayborne Harris with the purpose of carrying her out of the state or to sell her contrary to law. Burgess also appeared in court to testity and post bond on November 1811 and June 13, 1807.[15]

Land entries by Burgess Going included 100 acres on the Uharrie River on February 3, 1807. He had an additional 150 acres bordering his own land and that of Mack Redwine and the county line on March 30, 1819. On April 4, 1821, Burgess Going entered 150 acres on the Uharrie River bordering Mr. Redwine and the County line.[16] Since Burgess was allowed to testify in court and post bond, Burgess was accepted in community as a full member.

One of the more interesting genealogies ever found for a Goin was recorded in the Deed Book, 47, p. 136 of Randolph County, North Carolina in March 1882 as copied below.

“The following is the true genealogy of Daniel Goins and family. His great grand mother Elisabeth Goins was white. His grandfather William Goins was mixt his grand mother Patsey Petty was white his father Sandy Murchison was white his mother Leah Goins was slitly mixt making Daniel Goins very slitly mixt past into the whit(e) race to the 3^rd generation at least and to all probability to the 4^th or 5^th.

The following is the true genealogy of Margaret Goins and her family. Her greatgrandfather Edward Goins slitly mixed about an eigth her grandmother Celia Cofer white her father William Goins verry slitly mixt her mother Kisiah Sinclare white making her (Margaret Goins) past into the white race the 5^thgeneration. The above mentioned Magret Goins is the wife of Daniel Goins of Randolph County, N.C.”[17] Testifying to the truth of the genealogy were Eli Wadsworth, Andrew Cole, Wm. H.H. Kimbral.

By July 16, 1884, Daniel had moved to Cumberland County, North Carolina, where more testimony regarding his genealogy was taken in court.

“Genealogy of Daniel Goins – Randolph County Deed Book 53; State of North Carolina, Cumberland County

Personally appeared before me Archabald A. Johnson an acting Justice of the Peace in and for said county in the state aforesaid Flora McDonald and Catharine McBryde Both of whome are well known to me to be respectable and truth telling women and after being duly sworn according to law doth say that they are acquainted with Daniel Goins late of the county and state aforesaid, that they know his Father, Grand Father and Great Grand Father, that his Great Grand Father (John Harman) was native of Portugal, and was always called a Portugan, and he was of the color of the natives of that place, and that he and his sons and grandsons always Exercised the right of and passed as white men in every respect. Flora McDonald aged 88 years. Catharine McBride aged 33 years[18]

When the above testimony is combined with the evidence (Generation 3) of the presence of Portuguese, possibilities of the truth of the oral tradition emerge. Thomas Goin of the 1671 immigration from England could have been born anywhere.

Children of Burgess Goining and Elisabeth

a) Elizabeth Going married Jacob Luther

b) Pleasant Going married Elizabeth Luther

c) Margaret Going was born about 1828/29.

d) Melinda Going was born about 1830/35.

e) Adeline Going was born about 1835/40.

f) Shohal Going was born about 1843.

g) William was born about 1847/48.

8) Burton Goin, born about 1782

9) Hali Goin was born about 1784 and was named in her father’s will

10) Elizabeth Goin was born about 1786 and was named in her father’s will.

DELETED INFO:

(Removed info for “John Goram and Thomas Goram based on their being a Goram/Gorham family nearby and several sites online show research by the Gorham family that traces back to these men: … it does not appear that John Goram and Thomas Goram are misspelled from Gowen … it appears they were misspelled from Gorham).
