1775 Estate sale Alexander Going p1

1776-1783 – Some time between 1777 and 1783 Alexander Gowen Jr sells his land in Fairfax County, VA to Richard Skinner according to the index of the missing deed book N-1, pgs 217-218 in Fairfax County, Virginia.  (Note:  The date is not given in the index listed – it is estimated by looking at all the other transactions in deed book N-1.  The earliest other transaction in N-1 is 1776, and the latest transaction is 1783.  By far, most of the transactions took place in 1779-1780 in deed book N-1 according to the index).  

1777 – Tax Record, Caswell, North Carolina, USA. “Copy of a list for 1777 in Richmond District, Caswell County NC, showing “Scythe & Danl” Gowin listed together. They are mother and son; Daniel’s father Alexander died several years earlier. Daniel’s brother John appears on the same page, and brother Jesse appears on the previous page; neither has any numbers next to his name. There is some question as to what the numbers in the columns refer to; Caswell County has just been formed and it may be a survey of acreage of the residents, and number of horses or cattle. It seems unlikely that the second column refers to number of white polls as some of the numbers are very large. Unfortunately the columns are not labeled on any of the pages found for this record. 1777 NC State Archives, Raleigh NC  1777 Tax List – Caswell County, North Carolina.
