Moses Going Soldiered With And
Against the British Redcoats

Moses Going is identified as a son of Agnes Going in “Free
African Americans in North Carolina and Virginia” written by
Paul Heinegg. He suggests that he was born in January 1743
in Louisa County, Virginia and appears to be a great-grandson
of Mihil Gowen, a former slave who gained his freedom in
York County in 1657.

Moses Going, a Revolutionary soldier, made an oath that he
had also served “as a soldier under Capt. James Gunn in Col.
Byrd’s regiment in 1760,” in the French & Indian War,
according to “Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.”
Moses Going was married about 1762, wife’s name Agnes, the
same as his mother.

Moses Going appeared on the tax rolls of Trinity Parish in
Louisa County in 1770 living on the farmstead of John Fox.
Two years later he was the head of his own household, according
to “Louisa County, Virginia Tithables and Census, 1743-1785.”

Moses Going bought 353 acres of land January 13, 1777,
according to Louisa County Deed Book E-F, page 14. On
June 9, 1777 “Moses Going of Louisa County and Agness, his
wife deed to Robert Harris of same, 353 acres for oe100,” according
to Louisa County Deed Book E-F, page 156. The
survey ran “from Charles Smith’s corner to Francis Smith’s
corner and to Opher Smith’s line.” Both Moses Going and Agness
Going acknowledged the transfer.

It is believed the land was sold in preparation for Moses Going
to enter Revolutionary service. His brother, Sherwood Going
enlisted in the 14th Virginia Regiment for three years service
about that time, and Moses Going may have accompanied him.

When the Revolutionary war ended, the state of Georgia was
opened for intensive settlement, and generous land grants were
offered to Revolutionary soldiers to induce them to pioneer
there. Moses Going, accompanied by Jesse Going, regarded
as his son and William Goyne, regarded by some researchers
as a kinsman, accepted the offer, travelling there about 1786.

Agnes Going and the younger children remained in Virginia
until preparation was made for them in Georgia. She removed
to nearby Henrico County about 1786, perhaps to join family
members there. She appeared on the tax rolls there the
following year. She paid tax on “one tithe, two horses and six
cattle, according to “The 1787 Census of Virginia.” About
1792 she moved her family to Georgia.

When Warren County, Georgia was created, primarily with
land from Wilkes County in 1793, “Moses Going, William
Going and Jesse Going” were listed as taxpayers on the
county’s first tax rolls in 1793 and 1794. Moses Going deeded
100 acres in Warren County to Warren Andrews July 21, 1793
which was “part of 780 acres originally granted to Ignatius
Few in 1791,” according to Warren County Deed Book A,
page 606. He received a Revolutionary land grant in Warren
County in 1799. On October 16, 1800 he sold land “lying
partly in Wilkes County and partly in Warren County on the
Ogeechee River,” according to Warren County Deed Book B,
page 14.

They gave a deed to William Stith, Jr. October 7, 1795 to 465
acres, “being the western portion of 750 acres granted in 1791
to Ignatius Few,” according to Warren County Deed Book A,
page 365. They gave a deed March 28, 1797 to Samuel Howell
to 100 acres on Long Creek which had been granted in
1784 to Edmond Nugent, according to Warren County Deed
Book A.

Moses Going and Agnes Going gave a deed to Prior Gardner
June 23, 1797 to 92 acres on Long Creek, according to Warren
County Deed Book 6, page 13. Moses Going “of Wilkes
County” received a sheriff’s deed to land sold as property of
William Sanders March 7, 1799, according to Warren County
Deed Book A, page 632. Moses Going received a land grant
in Warren County of 60 acres in 1799.

It is believed that Agnes Going died about 1817 and that
Moses Going was remarried about 1819. Moses Going, free
colored, appeared in the 184th District of Lincoln County in
the 1830 census, page 74, as the head of a household
composed of:

“Going, Moses free colored male 55-100
free colored female 24-36
free colored male 0-10”

Children born to Moses Going and Agnes Going are believed
to include:

Anne Going born about 1763
John Going born about 1765
Jesse Going born about 1767
Mary Going born about 1770
Frances “Fanny” Going born about 1785

Children born to Moses Going and his second wife are
believed to include:

Sherwood Going born about 1821
