FACTS and EVENTS:

Summary: 

Drury Going was born in 1749 likely in Lunenburg County, Virginia to John Going and Mary Keith Going. No documents confirm Drury’s parents. It is presumed that he is a son of John Going and Mary Keith Going.  Documents in Lunenburg County confirm that Drury’s presumed father John Going lived next to William Gladden and William Hill. When Drury Going shows up in the Fairfield County, South Carolina area he is living adjacent to William Gladden, William Hill, and William Going ( William Going is a confirmed son of John Going).

John Going Sr moves his family to Orange County, North Carolina around 1761-62. Drury Going marries Sarah “Sally” Baxter around 1768 in Orange County, North Carolina.

Some time in or before 1771 Drury Going moves to Fairfield County, South Carolina on land near the Wateree River. He lives adjacent to William Going. William Going had a survey for 300 acres of land on the Wateree in 1767. William Going sold 150 acres to his William Gladden in 1769.

The Gladden family and Going family lived near eachother for years. In 1739 Ann Gladding witnessed the will of Catherine Padderson Going – the grandmother of Drury – in Prince William County, Virginia (which became Fairfax County, Virginia in 1742). William Gladden was a neighbor of the Going family in Lunenburg County, Virginia from 1748 until 1760. William Gladden’s family moved to Orange County, North Carolina in 1760 around the time John Going Sr’s family, joining his brother Alexander Going along Moon Creek.

Drury Going lived in Fairfield County, South Carolina until at least 1775, and likely continued living there during most of the Revolutionary War. Drury Going served during the Revolutionary War along with several of his brothers.

In 1779 Drury Going purchases land in Chester County, South Carolina – one county north of Fairfield. The land he purchased was next to Lockhart Sholes in the North West corner of the county near Union and York Counties. This is where he raised his family. He lived in Chester County until his death in 1797.

Drury Going and Sarah Baxter Going had the followin 9 children together:

• Martha Going born about 1768 – d. Aug 19, 1813,  (Married 1790 to – Larkin “Asa” Tindall (d 1841)- moved to Warren County, Ga).

Drury Going/Goyen’s Early Years:

1) BIRTH – 1749 – DEATH – Feb 22, 1796 (See letter below):

1749 birth:  Drury Goyen is born in 1749 most likely in Lunenburg County, Virginia. Drury Goyen (he often used Going as the spelling for his last name, but also it is seen as Goyen, Goyne, Goin, Gowen, Gowing, etc.) marries Sarah “Sallie” Baxter in Camden District about 1767-1769. Sarah is likely born about 1750.

Drury Going’s age is confirmed through a letter from his grandson Thomas Baxter Going regarding his family:

Letter from Thomas Baxter Going providing birth year of Drury Going as 1749:
(The contents found at: https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/29595620?h=b222be)

“Walnut Grove, Etowah County, Ala.  March 16, 1879 Dear Brother, By the Divine Providence of God, I am again permitted to write to you in answer of yours and also to send your request. We are today enjoying common health and also Dabbs and Inman are well as far as I know. We have had a very cold, wet winter with heavy freezes, but little snow. Gentle spring has come in with mild and pleasant weather.

The farmers are busy engaged in preparing for another crop. There will be more guano used this year than has been any year previous. According to your request, I with pleasure send you a true list of ages as recorded in Father’s Bible.

I will begin with father and mother’s. Isaac Going was born 28th day of April, 1775. Mother, Rebecca Palmer was born 1st day of February 1789 and was married the 21st day of August 1804. Father was baptized in the May meeting of the Pacolet Church in 1803, and also the same year joined the Masonic fraternity. The death of Father and Mother stands recorded thus—- Rebecca Going departed this life the first day of August 1855,  aged 66 years and 6 months. Isaac Going departed this life the 27th day of January 1861, aged 85 years and 9 months and one day.

Our Grandfather, Drury Going departed this life the 22nd day of February 1796 in the 47th year of his age. He died on the road coming home from Charleston with his wagon and team. He lacked 3 days drive of reaching home when he died. He was hauled home and buried at home. Grandmother Sarah Going departed this life 22nd day of April 1820 in the 69th year of her age.

In looking over I find the date of Elisha P. Going’s death as 16th day of July 1864 by a cannon ball near Fussels Mill in the New Market fight, Henry County, Va. Now, dear brother, you can record the dates I have given you in your large family Bible so that your children and grandchildren may hand down their fore father’s posterity. The Going is of Irish, [and Palmer] on Mother’s side English and Dutch.

I was pleased to hear of the well doing of your children. I have not heard a word about Eva. Is she dead? Eunice sent her likeness to her. Eunice says she would like to enjoy Eva’s company again. I am getting old and feeble near 73 years old. I have not had good health since last July. When I feel able, I go out and work a little. I feel better with exercise. I gain, but the least cold throws me back.

I am what is called a Licentiate Preacher. I don’t go about much, but if it is the Lord’s will, when the weather becomes warm I wish to visit the churches around. Religion is at a very low ebb at this time owing to so many divisions of profession–three kinds of Baptists, Missionary, Primitive or commonly called Hard Shells. Two years ago they divided and called it The Church of Christ being wonderfully opposed to all benevolent institutions of the day, especially the Masonic fraternity and Sabbath Schools. Their chief doctrine is that of Election and reprobation and non-fellowship with all who do not coincide with their Views. There are two kinds of Methodists–North and South. They divided during the war– they have no fellowship with each other. Then there are the Seventh Day Adventists and Soul Sleeping Baptists. I could not give a full history of their doctrines in the space I have to write. They make proselytes owing to the unlearned and unread of many of the people.

I hope you and all the boys that have grown up have made to rejoice in Jesus Christ the Savior. Let us pray for each other as all are dead of father’s family that if we never meet again, we will try to meet together with our friends in Heaven. Farewell, Thomas B. Going To W.G.W. Going and children”

1796 Feb 27 death date:  Drury Going appears to have died suddenly and unexpectedly on Februry 27, 1796. The letter above says he died on the road coming home from Charleston with his wagon and team. He has no will, meaning he wasn’t fighting a lengthy illness. His estate is disposed of in probate court.   Probate papers confirm that he died in 1796.

(Note:  An interesting question posed by researcher Frederick Tucker is “what was Drury doing in Charleston?  Why make the trip in winter?” Was he visiting a relative in that area? (someone sick and needing assistance possibly). Was he getting copies of documents filed in the Courts in Charleston? Was he there to purchase something in Charleston? Prior to 1788 deed and mortgage transactions were registered and filed in Charleston … it is possible he needed records for proof of some purchase or sale of land or a copy of some other legal document filed prior to the courts opening in Chester Co, SC.

WHERE DRURY GOING IS BURIED:

The letter from Thomas B. Going above says that Drury Going was buried at home. Drury Going’s home in 1796 can be found in his 1792 deed from Robert Elliott that states the 250 acres was where “Drury Going now lives”. This is confirmed again and can also be seen in the April 20-21, 1797 division of Drury Going’s estate. In the division the 250 acres is noted as where Drury Going lived at the time of his death. A 1/3 portion is given to his wife Sarah Going for 107 and 1/3 acres – the portion that is directly adjacent to Aaron Lockert’s land. The location was measured according to the poles and links in the 1792 land description.

The description states that Drury Going’s land is on the Broad River and adjacent to Aaron Lockarts land on the east. It is a portion of land out of the grant of land to Mary McCullough who then sold it to Robert Elliott, and where Robert Elliott sold the 250 acres adjacent to Aaron Lockart to Drury Going in 1779 (deed was corrected due to a description error in 1792). The location of the grants and surveys in the area are seen below.

Drury Going’s grave site has not been located. Based on the description of his grandson, Thomas B. Going, his grave site should be at his home, on the land where he lived in 1796 when he died.

The location can be found on Google Maps showing the GPS coordinates of 34°48’07.9″N 81°27’28.2″W, 34.802202, -81.457821, and can be seen at the following link on Google Maps:  https://goo.gl/maps/BcqCUZB1o81iNkZB6

The surveys from the 1797 division of Drury Going’s estate, specifically the 250 acre tract where he lived, along with Aaron Lockert’s 330 acre survey are combined below to show the shape of the surveys and the course of the Broad River.

When you overlay the surveys with Google Maps the description fits and shows where the land was located. The GPS coordinates are approximately: 34.802202, -81.457821

This location is directly across the Broad River from the present-day town of Lockhart, South Carolina, along the East side of the River on the Upper Lockhart Shoals. Lockhart Canal was built in 1826 at the location with a series of locks and lifts for navigation of the river. The Lockhart Canal was used until 1849 after railroads siphoned off most of the business. In 1894 Lockhart Mill was built – it closed in 1994. In 1912 Lockhart Power was created to make use of the canal in generating power to the local community by building a dam. The dam was completed by 1921.

DRURY GOING IN THE 1770s – FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA:

Counties in South Carolina where Drury Goyen (Going) is noted in South Carolina (Fairfield, Chester, York, Union and possibly Kershaw Counties).

Fairfield County Map (Click to enlarge):

It appears Drury Goyen moved to South Carolina in the late 1760s or early 1770s.   Drury Going appears to have married around 1768 (when his first child, Martha, is born).

Drury Going is married to Sarah “Sally” Baxter likely in Orange County, North Carolina around 1767-68. There is a Thomas Baxter who purchases land adjacent to the land where both John Going Sr and his brother Alexander Going lived while in Orange Co, NC – adjacent to James Ingram and Samuel Paul on Moon Creek (Orange County had changed to Caswell County in 1777 in the area the Goings had lived). This Thomas Baxter may be the father or sibling of Sarah Baxter. See:

Drury Goyen’s (Going) oldest child, Martha Going, is born about 1768, either in the Orange County, North Carolina area, or in South Carolina in the area that will later become Fairfield County, South Carolina.

About 1770, Elijah Goyen (Going) is born to Drury Goyen, again, either in the Orange County, North Carolina area, or in the area that will later become Fairfield, South Carolina.

Drury Going also serves in the regiment commanded by Col. John Winn of Winnsboro, South Carolina, according to the research of Carroll Heard Goyne, Jr.

(Note:  The “Swamp Fox” repeatedly led his rapid-deployment brigade in daring raids against the superior British forces, exacted heavy losses upon them and then escaped into the swamps where the English were unable to follow. They had remarkable successes in battles at Georgetown, Ft. Watson, Ft. Motte and Eutaw Springs, lifting the morale of the Americans who were generally being defeated everywhere else. Their spectacular success in the Battle of Parker’s Ferry in 1782 resulted in a Congressional medal for Marion’s men).

Description of the Battle of Parker’s Ferry that was fought August 1781: https://www.myrevolutionarywar.com/battles/810813-parkers-ferry/

Battle of Eutaw Springs is in September 1781 at the Ninety Six in South Carolina (These encounters would have been close to Drury Goyen’s home – these battles may have been catalysts for Drury Going to join the war effort – or he may have already been involved in the fighting):  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Eutaw_Springs

In addition to being part of the militia, Drury also did his part in contributing material to the war cause.   The following indents are examples and were for goods provided by Drury Goins (Going) from 1780 to 1782 in South Carolina, provided to the American militia during the Revolutionary War.

1858 – Mary Going Hughes (Drury Goyen’s daughter) dies in Pickens Co, Ala in 1858. She had married Thomas Hughes in 1808 in SC.

Betsy Lockard, daughter of John Lockard and Elizabeth Going Lockard (Drury Goyen’s daughter), was born about 1804 in Chester County.  She was married about 1822, husband’s name McChimney.  Betsy Lockard McChimney removed to Pickens County, Alabama with the Going family.

Rebecca Going (Drury Goyen’s daughter) was married about 1823 to John Annett in Chester County, according to Fredrick M. Tucker.  She died during the 1850s at Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  She was the mother of six.

Thomas Baxter Goyne b abt 1788-1793 – (Drury Goyen’s youngest son) – moves to Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. It unknown if this Thomas B. Goyne ever married or had children – there is a Thomas B. Goyne Jr in Tuscaloosa County, AL and Lowndes County, MS that may be his son.

1826 – Sarah Baxter Going Cook’s daughter – Mary Tolbert Cook – died May 24, 1826 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama and was buried in Robertson Chapel Cemetery.  Her tombstone, a reddish-brown fieldstone was the only one in the cemetery engraved with her birth and death dates: “Mary T. Cook, born June 14, 1805, daughter of R. Cook & S. Cook, dec’d. May 24, 1826.” (Sarah Baxter Going was Drury Goyen and Sarah Going’s youngest daughter). ___________________________________ PROBATE LINKS: Family Search Probate info: Index to South Carolina’s Bound Volumes:

RESEARCH AREA:  

In a letter addressed to Alfred Elijah Going, Evelyn Somerville, a descendant, wrote:

“In the first federal census of South Carolina, 1790, the Goings lived on one side, the Loves on the other of Col. Aaron Lockert at Lockert Shoals, East Bank, then in Chester County, South Carolina.  The community was known as early as 1755 as Love’s Ford on Broad River, a mile and a half from Turkey Creek, then Craven County, North Carolina.  Capt. James Love, Jr. married Col. Lockert’s second daughter, Janet.  Job Going married the Colonel’s third daughter, Rebecca, while Drennan Love, son of James Love, Jr, married a daughter of Sarah Going Cook, sister to Job Going. 

We are unable to find bible or other records of the parents of your ancestor, Job Going [and my ancestor, Sarah] except the death of their mother, April 22, 1822.  Sarah Baxter, thought to be the daughter of Thomas Baxter as the Christian name “Thomas Baxter” occurs over again in her numerous descendants.  The 1790 census gives the head of this family as “Drury Goins,” which must have been the name of “Sally” Baxter’s husband unless he had died and there was a son named Drury. Anyhow this family of Drury Goins was the only one of the name in Chester in 1790 census and none in the counties of York and Union, adjoining this neighborhood, and the family consisted of 2 white males over 16, 4 white females and 6 slaves.  In Caswell County, North Carolina tax lists was a Thomas Baxter, who could have either a father or a brother to “Sally” Baxter.  Her son, Thomas Baxter Going, became a clergyman, according to Day C. Love who went to school with his sons at Crawford, Mississippi in the early ’50s and went from there to Texas. Goings were natives of Ireland where the name was “Goyne.”  Isaac Mack Going is buried at the Franconia Cemetery in the Going row.  His was the second grave in the cemetery, my mother’s eldest sister, Sophia Miles Hughes, aged 3 years, being the first. Evelyn Somerville” 

OTHER DRURY’s:

 (Click on the following link to compare various “Drury Goyen” [Going, Goin, etc] living in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, etc.):  Various Drury Goings

Edits to Children of Drury Going b. 1749:  Removed John Going born January 10, 1774 from son of Drury Goyen.  Thanks for the heads-up from Frederick Tucker.  I reviewed the probate paperwork and verified that John Going is not mentioned in Drury Goyen’s probate papers – there were a couple entries where Job Going looked like it was spelled John, but when I reinspected the probate papers, it was obvious that it was Job, not John.  John is not mentioned in Elijah’s probate papers, nor is he mentioned in Sarah’s will or probate.  He is not mentioned in any of the deed conveyances of Drury or any of his confirmed children.  There is no evidence that Drury Going had a son named John – so I’ve removed him from the list of children here and will be updating other pages to reflect the same.   I’ll revisit John Going who married Mildred Eubanks and see where he belongs at a later date.

I also removed Elizabeth Going as a daughter of Drury Going because it turns out her maiden name was not Going at all – her name is Elizabeth Estes who was married to John Lockert.  The Going, Lockert, and Estes families showed up in eachother’s transactions very often, so its understandable why she was assumed to be a Going, but William Estes’ probate papers are very clear, his daughter “Betsy” (Elizabeth) Estes is who married to John Lockert according to his probate papers and his will in 1807 in Chester Co, SC.

SEARCH FOR THE PARENTS of Drury Goyen:

Y-DNA information for Goyen:  https://goyengoinggowengoyneandgone.com/y-dna-for-goyen/

Y-DNA matches (most distant known ancestors of people we match – have common paternal ancestor with these people):  https://goyengoinggowengoyneandgone.com/ydna-matches/

(Not known – no documents found to date confirm who Drury Going’s parents were.  Due to Y-DNA results, the most likely parents of Drury Goyen (or Going) are listed at the bottom of this page).  BEST GUESSES AT THIS POINT: 

Thomas Going b. abt 1720 (1st choice:  alternative parent.  Y-DNA match – Thomas Going is son of John Going and Mary Keith Going – which could mean that John Going and Mary Keith Going are actually Drury Going’s grandparents rather than parents)

John Going b. abt 1700 and Mary Keith (2nd choice: alternative parent. Y-DNA match – there are no known documents verifying Drury’s parents.  Y-DNA verifies that the descendants of Drury Goyen b. 1749 have the same paternal ancestor as Thomas Goin).

Alexander Going b. abt 1715 – d. bef. Feb 1775, m. Sophia ? (3rd choice: alternative parents – Y-DNA match.  Alexander Going’s children appeared to be close to John Going’s children (1st cousins.  Often they lived next to eachother and it is difficult to determine which parents their descendants belonged to).

John Going b. abt 1729 is another son of John Going b. 1700.  His age makes him a possible candidate as well.  Tracking his documentation and where he lived has been difficult.  I am in the middle of reworking his page – much of it is not correct and is in the process of being updated.  I have been unable to document who his children were – if any, but he is also a possibile parent of Drury, if he had children.

(All the above are Y-DNA matches to Drury Goyen/Going’s line – their confirmed descendants’ Y-DNA match Drury Going’s descendants.  They are also the correct age to be the parent of Drury Going b. 1749.  The only document connection I could find to Drury Going with any of the three above was to William Going b. 1733 – the confirmed son of John Going b. 1700 and the brother of Thomas Going b. 1720.  This leads me to believe that either John Going b. 1700 or Thomas Going b. 1720 are the most likely choices as parent of Drury Going).

Clusters of Going families that lived nearby in the 1750s are listed below.  One of these lines is likely Drury Going/Goyen’s line:

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). (YDNA match)

2) 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). (YDNA match)

3)  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). (Unknown YDNA results for descendants)

4) 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). (unknown YDNA results for descendants)

5) 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). (Unknown YDNA results for descendants)

6) 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). (Unknown YDNA results for descendants).

7)  William Gowen and his family who lived in the Bedford County, Virginia   area.    (The parental line of this William Gowen is unknown).  (YDNA does not match Drury Going/Goyen b. 1749’s line).

(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).

CAVALRYMAN DRURY GOING RODE IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN REVOLUTIONARY GEN. FRANCIS MARION’S BRIGADE

Drury Going, attracted by the daring exploits of Marion’s Brigade, volunteered in 1781 to ride with Revolutionary Brig.-Gen. Francis Marion in his slashing attacks on the British. Marion had taken raw frontiersmen, trained them to be fearless riders and expert marksmen and formed them into an efficient guerilla force that became the pride of the Colonists’ southern campaign.

The “Swamp Fox” repeatedly led his rapid-deployment brigade in daring raids against the superior British forces, exacted heavy losses upon them and then escaped into the swamps where the English were unable follow. They had remarkable successes in battles at Georgetown, Ft. Watson, Ft. Motte and Eutaw Springs, lifting the morale of the Americans who were generally being defeated everywhere else. Their spectacular success in the Battle of Parker’s Ferry in 1782 resulted in a Congressional medal for Marion’s men.

Drury Going was born in 1749 in Brunswick County, Virginia in an area which later became Greensville County, according to Mary Elizabeth Motley Beadles, a descendant and DAR Member 474911. His family removed to Camden District, in north central South Carolina and settled in an area which later became Union and Chester Counties. He was married there in 1767 at age 18 to 17-year-old Sarah “Sallie” Baxter who was born about 1750 in Granville County [later Orange County, later Caswell
County], North Carolina.

He was mentioned as a landowner in a land grant to William Long dated November 5, 1771. The description of Long’s land, “200 acres on Wateree Creek in Craven District,” mentioned that it was bounded on the east by that of Drury Going. The grant also mentioned that “the road to Rocky Mount crosses the northeast corner,” suggesting that the road also crossed the property of Drury Going.

Drury Going served as a private in a South Carolina militia regiment commanded by Col. Winn during the Revolutionary War. The regiment was under the overall command of Gen. Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox.” Indent No. 98, Book O was issued January 26, 1785 to “Mr. Drury Goins, 18:6:8 3/4 Sterling for militia duty in 1781 and 1782,” according to “Stub Entries to Indents” edited by A. S. Salley, Jr, Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina. Additionally, the indent had earned interest in the amount of 1:16:5.

“Drury Goins” was a purchaser at the estate sale of Moses Cherry in Camden District [later York County, South Carolina] in 1783, according to York County probate records, Apartment 15, package 483.

On September 1, 1787 “Drury Gowing of Chester County” received a deed to 319 acres” located on the south side of Broad River from Merry McGuire, “Planter of Union County, South Carolina,” according to Union County Deed Book A&B, page 469. Consideration was “100 pounds current money.” In the body of the deed the grantee’s name was also spelled “Gowen” and “Going.” The land had been received by McGuire June 5, 1786 in a grant from Gov. William Moultrie.

Drury Going received a deed July 8, 1788 to “land on the waters of Turkey Creek” for 50 pounds, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 69. Job Going, a kinsman of Drury Going, was a witness to the transaction.

“Drury Going, being charged with having begotten an illegitimate Infant on the Body of Sarah Golden came into court and Confessed the fact, whereupon it is considered by the Court that they make their fine by paying the sum of five pounds Proclamation Money, and the said Goings acknowledged himself bound to pay the said Sarah’s fine and all costs accruing, and that he is liable for the maintenance of the said infant.” was the entry dated July 8, 1788 in Chester County Court Order Book A, page 358.

“On the motion of the Clerk, Ordered that all the money that Drury Going was fined in for Bastardy is to be paid to him in discount of what the county owes him,” read an entry dated January 8, 1790 in Chester County Order Book B, page 29.

William Gaston conveyed 200 acres “line [lying] on Mill Creek” to Drury Going in 1789, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 73. Consideration was “3:14:4.” The land was part of a tract granted to Gaston September 3, 1787.

The household of “Drury Goins” was enumerated in the 1790 census of Chester County as “three white males over 16, three white males under 16, four females and six slaves,” according to “Heads of Families, South Carolina, 1790.”

Drury Going bought 350 acres of land in two tracts from Robert Elliott and his wife, Jean January 14, 1791 for 1,000 pounds, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 553. Job Going was again a witness to the transaction.

Drury Going deeded his Turkey Creek farm to his son-in-law Asa Tindall October 11, 1791, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 541:

“For the love & affection I bear for my son-in-law Assa Tindall and for his better support, I give, grant and convey 100 acres on a branch of Turkey Creek, the waters of Broad River, originally granted to John Long June 6, 1785, adjoining James Kirkpatrick and Clayton Rogers, all other sides vacant.
Drury [X] Going”

Shortly afterward, Drury Going sold the two tracts of land back to Robert Elliott that he had purchased from him a year earlier, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 542. Witnesses: Job Going, John Hill, Isaac Going, and consideration was again £1,000.

Drury Going was appointed to serve as juror for the January 1793 term, according to an entry dated June 25, 1792 in Chester County Order Book B, page 179.

On June 13, 1794 Drury Going corraled an estray, according to Chester County Order Book 1795-1799, page 425. The entry read, “Drury Going Tolls a Sorrell horse about 7 years old, paced natural, Brand unknown, about 14 hands high, his hind feet white, said Estray appraised to 8:0:0.”

Drury Going died February 22, 1796 “in the 47th year of his age,” according to a letter written March 16, 1879 by Thomas Baxter Going, his grandson. “He died on the road coming home from Charleston with his wagon and team. He lacked three days drive of reaching home when he died. He was hauled home and buried at home.”

Administration of the estate of “Drewry Goings, Dcs’d was granted to “Elijah Goings, Admr. and Sarah Goings, Admx.” in July 1796, according to Chester County Court Order Book 1. The citation was made public by having it read in a church assembly:

“Be it remembered that I Joseph Brown was personally present when Joseph Alexander, a minister of the Preysbyterian [sic] Profession publickly read the within Citation at a meeting held at Bullock’s Creek for the purpose of Publick Worship.

Dated at Chester this 25th day of July 1796. J. A. Brown”

“Sarah Goyen” appeared as the head of a household in the 1810 census of Chester District, page 262. Sarah “Sallie” Baxter Going wrote her will November 4, 1814:

“I, Sarah Going, being in a low state of helth, but sound in mind and memory make this, my last will and testament.

I give to my daughter Mary Going one feather bed and furniture, one cow named Harty and heifer, and I give to my daughter Rebekah Going one feather bed and furniture which my above daughters Mary and Rebekah claim, and I give to my daughter Rebekah one cow named Liby and I give to my son Thomas B. Going the tract of land or plantation where I, Sarah Going now live containing One hundred and seven acres, and it is my will and desire that my daughters Mary and Rebekah should live with my son Thomas on the said plantation while [they] remain unmarid, and I give to my daughter Rebekah one woman’s Saddle and pine table, one big wheel, and I give to my son Thomas Going one walnut table and one feather bed and furniture, one cow named Whiteface and a dun cow I give to my daughter Mary.

All the rest of my property, my will is, to be sold and pay all my just debts except one large trunk I give to my daughter Rebekah, and after paying my just debts to be equally divided amongst my children.

And I do make my son Thomas B. Going sole Executor of my Estate as witness my hand and seal in the year of our Lord one Thousand eight hundred and fourteen, November 4th Day 1814.

Sarah [X] Going”

Sarah “Sallie” Baxter Going died in Union County April 22, 1820, at age 69, according to the research of Linda Sue Betts Essary, a descendant of Floyd, New Mexico. Her will was probated in the June 1820 court session, according to Chester County Deed Book H, page 9.

Children born to them include:

Martha Going born about 1768
Elijah Going born in 1770
Job Isaac Going born September 5, 1772
John Going born January 10. 1774
Isaac Going born April 28, 1775
James Going born in 1777
Mary Going born in 1779
Elizabeth Going born about 1781
Rebecca Going born about 1782
Thomas Baxter Going born in 1784
Sarah Baxter Going born April 3, 1786

In addition to the child of Sarah Golden, Linda Sue Betts Essary discovered another possible child of Drury Going in “South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research,” Volume 10. The item read, “Marion District, SC, Minutes Book of the Ordinary, 1806, Oct. 25, ‘Letters of Guardianship granted to Ann Adams, guardian for Selander Strother, a minor aged about 14 years, late of Peedee, supposed daughter of Drura Gowings.’”

Research on possible siblings:

(Note:  Descendants of Drury Going/Goyne/Goyen have a YDNA signature that matches others close to his same age who lived nearby at the time in South Carolina).

Connections to William Goyne:

(Note:  William Goyne b. abt 1728-33 – confirmed son of John Going b. abt 1705 – moved from Orange County, NC to Fairfield Co, SC and then to Rutherford Co, NC (just north of Chester/Union/York Counties SC).  Fairfield SC grants and plats show William “Going” owning land in 1767 that by 1771 is in the hands of Drury Going.  William Going then appears just north in Rutherford Co, NC.  William Goyne’s descendants are YDNA matches to Drury Going’s descendants.  William had his own son named Drury Goyne b. abt 1766 – his will in Georgia spells out his children – so likely William Goyne is either a much older sibling, or an uncle of Drury Going/Goyen’s).  See the following link for his information):

William Goyne b. 1728 – 1733 of Rutherford Co, NC and Warren Co, GA. (confirmed child of John Going Sr b. abt 1700 – YDNA match with descendants)

James Goyne b. abt 1755 – possible connections:

A news article was written in 1905 about Susan Goynes Dickerson regarding her ancesters fighting in every war the US had been involved with to that point.  She was the granddaughter of James Goyne b. 1755.

In the article, she states that “In the Revolutionary War her grandfather, James Goynes and his four brothers served.”   

In James Goyne’s Revolutionary War Pension Application he states he was born in “Mulenburg” County, Virginia – which must have been a mix of “Lunenburg” the part he was born in – which later became “Mecklenburg” in 1764 – which matches up with where John Going b. abt. 1705 lived at that time – in the part of Lunenburg County that in 1764 became Mecklenburg.

Based on age, YDNA matches, and location at the time of the Revolution, I would guess the 5 brothers were Drury Going b. 1749, John Gowen b. abt 1750, Thomas Goin b. abt. 1750-55, James Goyne b. 1755, and possibly Amos Goyen b. abt 1744 (no YDNA tests from descendants of Amos have been located yet – but the other men’s descendants match).

John Gowen b. abt. 1750, Thomas Gowen b. abt 1750-55, Amos Goyen b. 1744, James Goyne b. 1755 and Drury Going/Goyen b. 1749 all are YDNA matches – they each have descendants who have taken YDNA tests that confirm they all descend from a common paternal ancestor.   In the news article of Susan Goynes Tindol Bolgiano Dickerson from 1904 above, she states there were 5 brothers including James Goyne b. 1755 who fought in the American Revolution … The following, other than Amos Goyen who was killed in the Revolution, all have matching Y-DNA.  I see no evidence that William Gowen b. 1733 fought in the Revolution (his Y-DNA matches as well) – he may have been too old.   I believe he is likely either a cousin or an uncle of Drury Going/Goyen b. 1749.   But the other 4 actually are of similar age – each with records of having fought in the Revolution, and 4 of the 5 actually match YDNA – all appear to have connections to South Carolina:

John Gowen b. abt 1750 m. Elizabeth in Robeson Co, NC and Marion Co, SC (confirmed child of John Going Sr b. abt 1700 – YDNA match with descendants)
Thomas Gowen b. abt 1750-55 d. in Claiborne Co, TN (YDNA match with descendants)
William Goyne b. 1728 – 1733 of Rutherford Co, NC and Warren Co, GA. (confirmed child of John Going Sr b. abt 1700 – YDNA match with descendants)
Amos Goyen b. 1744 of Fairfield Co, SC, killed in Revolution (possible sibling of Drury)
Drury Goyen b. 1749 of Chester Co, SC (of this page)
James Goyne b. 1755 of Fairfield Co, SC moved to Ga, LA and MS (YDNA match with descendants)

States and Counties researched and needing additional research: 

• South Carolina – Fairfield County (First records of Drury found are in Fairfield, SC – so far).
• South Carolina – Chester County (County where Drury had his family when he died)
• South Carolina – Union County (Records found here of Drury)
• South Carolina – York County (Records found here of Drury)
• South Carolina – Charleston County (Some state records found here of Drury)
• South Carolina – Kershaw County (One possible record found here)
• Virginia – Lunenburg County (Likely County where Drury was born)
• North Carolina – Orange County (Likely County where Drury lived prior to moving to SC)
• North Carolina – Caswell County (Caswell formed in 1777 out of Orange Co, NC- possible some recs here as this was area Drury’s family was living before he moved to SC)
• North Carolina – Rutherford County (William Goyne moved here from Orange Co, NC – so possible Drury may have had connection here)

Part 4:

Drury Goyne The Drury Going [Newsletter, November 1991] who lived on Broad River in Chester County, South Carolina would appear to be a member of the Goyne family that came from Orange County, North Carolina. He was born in 1749 in Virginia and served in the Revolutionary War in the militia under Col. John Winn.47

Drury Goyne/Going was married to Sarah Baxter. They had as neighbors in Chester County, South Carolina the families of Cook, Lockert [Lockhart] and Love. Some of Drury’s children intermarried with these families. Drury died February 22, 1796, on the wagon road from Charleston, three days from home, and his body was returned to his home for burial.48 Sarah Baxter Going made her will on November 4, 1814. She named daughters Mary and Rebekah [probably daughterÄinÄlaw Rebecca [Lockert] Going, wife of Job]. Son, Thomas B. Going was executor. Son Isaac Going was a witness. Sarah’s will was probated on June 5, 1820 in Chester County.49

Much is known about Drury Going and his progeny, thanks to some preserved letters and bible records. Several cemeteries in South Carolina and Alabama preserve the names of many members of this family. The minutes of Red River Baptist Church in Robertson County, Tennessee and of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church of Franconia, Alabama in Pickens County also preserve information on this family. [Note: In 1906, Oak Grove Presbyterian Church moved to Aliceville, and became First Presbyterian Church of Aliceville. A cemetery and a historical marker are at the original site one mile north of Aliceville.]

Some highlights on this family: Drury’s son Job Going [Newsletter, November 1992] lived where Northport, Alabama stands today. His reported burial site [Robertson Chapel Cemetery] is today within the golf course of a country club. This cemetery is not shown on the current county map published by the Tuscaloosa County Tax Assessor, but with the assistance of a lady in the map room of the Tuscaloosa County Court House, we located the cemetery. It is in the SW/4 of Section 12, Township 21S, Range 1OW. Only one of the older graves [those marked by reddishÄbrown field stones] has a name to identify it: Mary T. Cook, born June 14, 1805, daughter of R. Cook & S. Cook, dec’d May 24 1826. She is the daughter of Robert Cook and Sarah Baxter [Going] Cook. Sarah was the daughter of Drury Going and Sarah [Baxter] Going, of Chester County, South Carolina. After Job’s death, his widow Rebecca [Lockert] Going moved to Pickens County, Alabama. She was a charter member of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church at Franconia. Her land was north of the church site.

The identity of James Goyne of Robertson and Montgomery Counties, Tennessee has been a puzzle. He and his wife Eliza-beth are seen in the minutes of Red River Baptist Church, of Robertson County. This James’ will was filed in Montgomery County and less than a month later registered in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Conclusive proof has been found that this James was the son of Drury Going of Chester County, South Carolina. His wife’s maiden name was Elizabeth Cook. She was the sister of Robert Cook who married Sarah [Baxter] Going, a sister of James Goyne. Elizabeth [Cook] Goyne’s identity has been confirmed in the August 11, 1858 will of her brother, Josiah Cook of Chester District, South Carolina. She was willed $1,000.50 Their three minor children were named in James’ will. One other, John C, was named in a land transaction with his mother in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Perhaps, the other Goynes in Tuscaloosa County records of the late 1830s and in the 1840s were the children of James and Elizabeth [Cook] Goyne.

At least two of Drury’s children, Isaac Going [Newsletter, March 1992] and Elijah Going, remained in South Carolina and died there. Other of his children moved to Alabama, except for James.

A Drury Going appeared in the records of Greensville County, Virginia during, and immediately after the Revolutionary War. He is not the Drury of Chester County, South Carolina as proved by a record dated March 26, 1795 in Greensville County, Virginia.51 A Drury Going/Goyne appeared in Wilkes County, Georgia tax records in 1796. This Drury is the second son named in the 1816 will of William Goyne of Warren County, Georgia.

Henry Goyne Henry Goyen served 72 days in the South Car-olina Militia in 1782 under Lt. John Hollis. On May 21, 1784 he received pay for his service from Gen. Richard Winn. Henry signed with an “X”.52 Henry Going made his will February 12, 1807 in Fairfield District, South Carolina. He named his four children: Hesekiah, Lewis, Laadice [Lettice?] and Dillard. He signed with an “X”. No executor was named in the will, but John Hall and Daniel Going were appointed administrators. The will was recorded on 20 July 1807.53

No connection can be made with the following, but the name is the same: on July 22, 1764, Henry Going was married to Susannah Ffreeson in Goochland County, Virginia.54 A Henry Going was in the Virginia State Enumerations for 1782. He was residing in Hanover County, Virginia with a total of eight persons listed in his family.55

CAVALRYMAN DRURY GOING RODE IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN REVOLUTIONARY GEN. FRANCIS MARION’S BRIGADE

Drury Going, attracted by the daring exploits of Marion’s Brigade, volunteered in 1781 to ride with Revolutionary Brig.-Gen. Francis Marion in his slashing attacks on the British. Marion had taken raw frontiersmen, trained them to be fearless riders and expert marksmen and formed them into an efficient guerilla force that became the pride of the Colonists’ southern campaign.

The “Swamp Fox” repeatedly led his rapid-deployment brigade in daring raids against the superior British forces, exacted heavy losses upon them and then escaped into the swamps where the English were unable follow. They had remarkable successes in battles at Georgetown, Ft. Watson, Ft. Motte and Eutaw Springs, lifting the morale of the Americans who were generally being defeated everywhere else. Their spectacular success in the Battle of Parker’s Ferry in 1782 resulted in a Congressional medal for Marion’s men.

Drury Going was born in 1749 in Brunswick County, Virginia in an area which later became Greensville County, according to Mary Elizabeth Motley Beadles, a descendant and DAR Member 474911. His family removed to Camden District, in north central South Carolina and settled in an area which later became Union and Chester Counties. He was married there in 1767 at age 18 to 17-year-old Sarah “Sallie” Baxter who was born about 1750 in Granville County [later Orange County, later Caswell County], North Carolina.

He was mentioned as a landowner in a land grant to William Long dated November 5, 1771. The description of Long’s land, “200 acres on Wateree Creek in Craven District,” mentioned that it was bounded on the east by that of Drury Going. The grant also mentioned that “the road to Rocky Mount crosses the northeast corner,” suggesting that the road also crossed the property of Drury Going.

Drury Going served as a private in a South Carolina militia regiment commanded by Col. Winn during the Revolutionary War. The regiment was under the overall command of Gen. Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox.” Indent No. 98, Book O was issued January 26, 1785 to “Mr. Drury Goins, 18:6:8 3/4 Sterling for militia duty in 1781 and 1782,” according to “Stub Entries to Indents” edited by A. S. Salley, Jr, Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina. Additionally, the indent had earned interest in the amount of 1:16:5.

“Drury Goins” was a purchaser at the estate sale of Moses Cherry in Camden District [later York County, South Carolina] in 1783, according to York County probate records, Apartment 15, package 483.

On September 1, 1787 “Drury Gowing of Chester County” received a deed to 319 acres” located on the south side of Broad River from Merry McGuire, “Planter of Union County, South Carolina,” according to Union County Deed Book A&B, page 469. Consideration was “100 pounds current money.” In the body of the deed the grantee’s name was also spelled “Gowen” and “Going.” The land had been received by McGuire June 5, 1786 in a grant from Gov. William Moultrie.

Drury Going received a deed July 8, 1788 to “land on the waters of Turkey Creek” for 50 pounds, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 69. Job Going, a kinsman of Drury Going, was a witness to the transaction.

“Drury Going, being charged with having begotten an illegitimate Infant on the Body of Sarah Golden came into court and Confessed the fact, whereupon it is considered by the Court that they make their fine by paying the sum of five pounds Proclamation Money, and the said Goings acknowledged himself bound to pay the said Sarah’s fine and all costs accruing, and that he is liable for the maintenance of the said infant.” was the entry dated July 8, 1788 in Chester County Court Order Book A, page 358.

“On the motion of the Clerk, Ordered that all the money that Drury Going was fined in for Bastardy is to be paid to him in discount of what the county owes him,” read an entry dated January 8, 1790 in Chester County Order Book B, page 29.

William Gaston conveyed 200 acres “line [lying] on Mill Creek” to Drury Going in 1789, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 73. Consideration was “3:14:4.” The land was part of a tract granted to Gaston September 3, 1787.

The household of “Drury Goins” was enumerated in the 1790 census of Chester County as “three white males over 16, three white males under 16, four females and six slaves,” according to “Heads of Families, South Carolina, 1790.”

Drury Going bought 350 acres of land in two tracts from Robert Elliott and his wife, Jean January 14, 1791 for 1,000 pounds, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 553. Job Going was again a witness to the transaction.

Drury Going deeded his Turkey Creek farm to his son-in-law Asa Tindall October 11, 1791, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 541:

“For the love & affection I bear for my son-in-law Assa Tindall and for his better support, I give, grant and convey 100 acres on a branch of Turkey Creek, the waters of Broad River, originally granted to John Long June 6, 1785, adjoining James Kirkpatrick and Clayton Rogers, all other sides vacant.
Drury [X] Going”

Shortly afterward, Drury Going sold the two tracts of land back to Robert Elliott that he had purchased from him a year earlier, according to Chester County Deed Book B, page 542. Witnesses: Job Going, John Hill, Isaac Going, and consideration was again £1,000.

Drury Going was appointed to serve as juror for the January 1793 term, according to an entry dated June 25, 1792 in Chester County Order Book B, page 179.

On June 13, 1794 Drury Going corraled an estray, according to Chester County Order Book 1795-1799, page 425. The entry read, “Drury Going Tolls a Sorrell horse about 7 years old, paced natural, Brand unknown, about 14 hands high, his hind feet white, said Estray appraised to 8:0:0.”

Drury Going died February 22, 1796 “in the 47th year of his age,” according to a letter written March 16, 1879 by Thomas Baxter Going, his grandson. “He died on the road coming home from Charleston with his wagon and team. He lacked three days drive of reaching home when he died. He was hauled home and buried at home.”

Administration of the estate of “Drewry Goings, Dcs’d was granted to “Elijah Goings, Admr. and Sarah Goings, Admx.” in July 1796, according to Chester County Court Order Book 1. The citation was made public by having it read in a church assembly:

“Be it remembered that I Joseph Brown was personally present when Joseph Alexander, a minister of the Preysbyterian [sic] Profession publickly read the within Citation at a meeting held at Bullock’s Creek for the purpose of Publick Worship.

Dated at Chester this 25th day of July 1796. J. A. Brown”

“Sarah Goyen” appeared as the head of a household in the 1810 census of Chester District, page 262. Sarah “Sallie” Baxter Going wrote her will November 4, 1814:

“I, Sarah Going, being in a low state of helth, but sound in mind and memory make this, my last will and testament.

I give to my daughter Mary Going one feather bed and furniture, one cow named Harty and heifer, and I give to my daughter Rebekah Going one feather bed and furniture which my above daughters Mary and Rebekah claim, and I give to my daughter Rebekah one cow named Liby and I give to my son Thomas B. Going the tract of land or plantation where I, Sarah Going now live containing One hundred and seven acres, and it is my will and desire that my daughters Mary and Rebekah should live with my son Thomas on the said plantation while [they] remain unmarid, and I give to my daughter Rebekah one woman’s Saddle and pine table, one big wheel, and I give to my son Thomas Going one walnut table and one feather bed and furniture, one cow named Whiteface and a dun cow I give to my daughter Mary.

All the rest of my property, my will is, to be sold and pay all my just debts except one large trunk I give to my daughter Rebekah, and after paying my just debts to be equally divided amongst my children.

And I do make my son Thomas B. Going sole Executor of my Estate as witness my hand and seal in the year of our Lord one Thousand eight hundred and fourteen, November 4th Day 1814.

Sarah [X] Going”

Sarah “Sallie” Baxter Going died in Union County April 22, 1820, at age 69, according to the research of Linda Sue Betts Essary, a descendant of Floyd, New Mexico. Her will was probated in the June 1820 court session, according to Chester County Deed Book H, page 9.

Children born to them include:

Martha Going born about 1768
Elijah Going born in 1770
Job Isaac Going born September 5, 1772
John Going born January 10. 1774
Isaac Going born April 28, 1775

Mary Going born in 1779
Elizabeth Going born about 1781
Rebecca Going born about 1782

In addition to the child of Sarah Golden, Linda Sue Betts Essary discovered another possible child of Drury Going in “South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research,” Volume 10. The item read, “Marion District, SC, Minutes Book of the Ordinary, 1806, Oct. 25, ‘Letters of Guardianship granted to Ann Adams, guardian for Selander Strother, a minor aged about 14 years, late of Peedee, supposed daughter of Drura Gowings.’”
