“Henry Gowen” appeared in Fairfield County Court in the session of June 15, 1791 for a trial of the “State vs. Henry Gowen,” according to Fairfield County Court Minute Book A, page 62. “The indictment was dismissed June 14, 1792 upon the defendant’s paying Costs.

In 1793, John Hall, Henry Goyen and his wife Jane (formerly Jane Hall) agreed to the distribution of John Hall, Jane Hall, Rhoda Hall, and Sarah Hall’s estate.

1793 (Nov 10, 1793) – “Know all men by these presents, that we John Hall, Henry Goyen and Jane his wife late Jane Hall, do hereby mutually agree to abide by the last request of our dear mother deceased and to take no legal advantage to claim any property she might have died possessed of, but always to look upon distribution of her property as if it had been made by a final will, which was follows, Viz. That all the land should be sold and equally divided between her three daughters, Jane, now Goyen, Rhoda and Sarah and that all her stock of horses, cattle, hogs, except a few of the young cows should be sold to pay her debts, and the remainder to be equally divided between her daughters Sarah and Rhoda, and the youngest heifers to be raised for their equal use and benefit and that she appoint her son, John Hall as manager and superintendant, and we do agree to stand to and abide by the above distribution of our mothers property, and take no advantage the son may give any of us to which agreement we mutually bind ourselves, and our heirs in the penal sum of Fifty Pounds each, given under our hands this 10th day of Nov. 1793.” John Hall, Henry Going, Jane Going ; Test: John Hollis, Charles Johnston ; (Fairfield County, SC – Deed Vol. I – p. 176).  http://www.ken-shelton.com/Fairfield/Deeds/Deed_I/Deed_I_0176a.tif

“Henry Goyen and others” were sued July 18, 1794 by Francis Papp, according to “Fairfield County, South Carolina Min­utes of the County Court, 1785-1799” He was again in court in the July 1798 session.

On April 28, 1795, Fairfield County, SC Deedbook I, pg 378 records Samuel Burk conveying a brown dog named “Watch” to a William Kennedy.  Witnesses were: John McEwen Jr, and Henry Gowen.  Henry Gowen proved up the document at court.  Fairfield SC.

Henry ‘Going’ lived in Wilkes County, Georgia for about one year in 1797. While in Wilkes County, he lived in the same militia district with members of the family of William Goyne.
In 1797, William ‘Going’ lived in Capt. Turner’s District [MM-49], and was charged with one poll. Other ‘Going’ individuals living in Capt. Turner’s District in 1797 were:

Drury ‘Going’ [MM-65]

Henry ‘Going’ [MM-38]
John ‘Going’ [MM-32]
William ‘Going’ [MM-111]

Henry Going is listed on the 1800 US Census in Fairfield Co, SC.  It shows 1 male (Henry Goings) 26-44 yrs, 1 male 10-15 yrs, 3 males under 10, and one female 10-15 yrs.  It does not list a female that would be the age of his spouse, Jane Hall Going, so it is assumed she may have died prior to this time.

The 1800 census of Fairfield County included the households of “Daniel Goings and Henry Goings.”

February 12, 1807 – Henry Going’s will is proved up in court:

Polly Gowen, daughter of Daniel Gowen and Jean Gowen, was born about 1784. She was married about 1801 to Benjamin Harrison. In 1807, he was a witness to the will of Henry Going, regarded as an uncle of Polly Gowen, the brother of her father.
Daniel Going, one of the executors, is likely the brother to Henry Going. Benjamin Harrison, one of the witnesses to the will, was married prior to 1810 to “Polly Gowens, daughter of Daniel Gowens,” according to “Fairfield County, South Carolina Marriages Implied in Probate Records, 1775-1879” with reference to Apartment 49, File 755.

(Above is Henry Going’s handwritten will written in 1807 – transcribed above the image).

Benjamin Harrison helps prove up Henry Gowins will by swearing he saw him sign, and that he also saw Alexander Wilie (Wylie) sign as a witness, as well as himself sign as a witness to the will in 1807.

Court minutes in 1807, Fairfield County, SC, recording that John Hall was appointed administrator of Henry Going’s will, and that Daniel Going was security.

Administration Bond signed by John Hall and Daniel Gowin in 1807 for the administration of the will and estate of Henry Gowin.

Letters of Administration granted to John Hall and Daniel Gowin in Fairfield County, South Carolina.  Daniel Gowin is the brother of Henry Gowin, and John Hall’s sister (Nancy Hall) married Henry Gowin.  As was noted in the 1800 US Census in Fairfield Co, SC, it appears Nancy Hall Gowin must have died prior to 1800 as she is not noted on the Census – she is not noted in this will either – so she must have predeceased Henry Going.

March 17, 1807, the Fairfield County, SC Court ordering John Hollis, James Barber, Robert Barber, Elijah Hollis, and Hugh Lavender to appraise the estate of Henry Gowins, decd, and to give the return to the administrator, John Hall so he can file with the court.
