(Note:  The Gowen Manuscript appears to have the wrong parents.  The parents of Joseph Gowen appear to be William Gowen and Annester Gowen – NOT William Gowen and Anastatia Sullivan Gowen – these two couples were living in separate areas of the state at the same time – so they appear to be two distinct and separate couples – so William and Anastatia do not appear to be the parents of Joseph).

Joseph Going, son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was born about 1760, probably in Goochland County. He enlisted at Bedford, Virginia, in Bedford County in January 1777 in the Fourteenth Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line. His activities are sometimes confused with that of an­other individual of the same name, perhaps a cousin who also lived in Bedford County. Joseph Going of the Fourteenth Vir­ginia Regiment later lived in Madison County, Kentucky. The other Joseph Goins enlisted in Bedford County in the Virginia militia and later lived in Hancock County, Tennessee where he died in 1859.

The Fourteenth Virginia Regiment joined the Continental Army at Brandywine, Pennsylvania shortly after the battle fought there September 11, 1777. Under the command of Gen. George Washington, the army engaged the British at German­town, Pennsylvania on the outskirts of Philadelphia October 4, 1777 and then were forced to withdraw about 40 miles west to Valley Forge. In bitter cold and without adequate supplies and rations, the 14th Virginia suffered throughout the winter.

The Virginians were pitched into the ferocious Battle of Mon­mouth [New Jersey] June 28, 1778 and helped to carry the day against Gen. Howe and the English. It was in this battle that the famous Molly Pitcher took the place of her injured husband, a cannoneer and manned his gun, preventing its capture by the British.

Joseph Going was married to Judith Pollard September 20, 1780, according to “Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Virginia, 1755-1780.” John Mitchell was surety for the mar­riage. Judith Pollard was the daughter of Francis Pollard and Betty Phelps Pollard, according to James Edwin Crates.

Joseph Going and John Mitchell posted bond:

“Know all men by these presents that we, Joseph Going and John Mitchell are held etc. to Thomas Jefferson, Esq, Governor of Virginia in the sum of Fifty Pounds on payment well & truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, etc, firmly by these presents sealed and dated this 20th September, 1780.

The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas there is a marriage shortly intended to be had and solemnized between the above bound Joseph Going & Judith Pollard if therefore there be no lawfull cause to obstruct the same, then this obligation to be void.

Sealed lc Joseph [X] Going
Robert Alexander John Mitchell”

Attached to the bond was a note:

“This is to certifiy that I have no objection to Joseph Going marrying with Juda Pollard. Given under my hand this 17 day of September 1780.
John [Tatum?]
[Surname illegible]”

Francis Pollard was born about 1720, according to a descendant, Elizabeth Harris, Duke University, citing “Oakes Family Genealogical Data, 1640-1982.” By 1749 he was living in Cumberland Parish, Lunenberg Co. Virginia, working as a blacksmith. He bought land in 1753 on Otter Creek, Lunenberg [later Bedford County] from John Phelps and Mary Phelps, parents of his wife Betty Phelps. He died in Bedford County between 1771, the date of his will and 1780 when his estate was finally settled.

Judith Pollard Going was mentioned in the will of her father dated April 4, 1771, according to Bedford County Will Book 1, pages 131-132. The estate was appraised by Robert Allen, “schoolmaster,” Matthew Talbot and Thomas Arthur. John Phelps, regarded as his brother-in-law, was executor of the estate.

The children of Francis Pollard and Betty Phelps Pollard include:

Thomas Pollard born about 1750
Elizabeth Pollard born about 1752
Mary Pollard born about 1755
Susannah Pollard born about 1758
John Pollard born about 1760
Judith Pollard born about 1762
Sarah Pollard born about 1764
Jane Pollard born about 1767
Betty Pollard born about 1770
Frances Pollard born about 1773

Joseph Going was a taxpayer in Bedford County, paying tax on “one poll,” according to “Virginia Taxpayers, 1782-1787.”

He appeared as a resident of adjoining Patrick County Virginia during the 1790s, according to “Abstracts of Order Book “O,” Patrick County, Virginia,” by Lela C. Adams. In the volume, he was mentioned July 8, 1793 on page 34 as a mem­ber of the road committee of Edward Tatum responsible for the care of the road “from the forks of the road above Stephen Lyons to Peters Creek in Hanby’s lane.”

Joseph Going was a juror in the April 1794 court session, ac­cording to page 65. He received a lien from Shadrack Barret November 27, 1794, according to page 84. He was again serv­ing on a jury “Saturday, July 30, 1796,” according to page 136. He was recorded as a juror on page 150 February 24, 1797 which tried two cases on that date.

Fulcher was appointed “surveyor of the road from Patrick Courthouse to Joseph Goings,” March 30, 1797, according to page 155. Joseph Going had jury service again April 28, 1797 and again tried two cases, according to page 159. He was sued by Joseph Keaton May 25, 1797 as recorded on page 161. Keaton received a judgment against the defendant.

He drew jury service July 28, 1797, page 166 and again on October 27, 1797, page 173. Joseph Going appeared in court November 30, 1797 requesting “an injunction to stay the pro­ceedings of a judgment of Joseph Keaton.” The stay was granted upon Joseph Going posting a bond secured by Brett Stovall, according to page 175. Joseph Going was again serv­ing on the jury April 27, 1798, page 187 and July 27, 1798, page 196. He was a witness in “Adams vs Keaton” May 30, 1799, page 215. Judith Pollard Going appeared as a witness in “Hale vs. Lemmon” July 25 and 26, 1799, according to Patrick County Order Book O, page 218.

Joseph Going was summoned to serve on the grand jury July 25, 1799, page 217 and again October 31, 1799, page 223. Ju­dith Going appeared in court July 26, 1799 as a witness on “2 days” in the case of “Hale vs Lemmon,” page 218.

On March 27, 1800 Joseph Going, John Fletcher, James Ep­person and George Fulcher was appointed by the court to “view a way for a road from Barton’s old place into the road at the old sign post,” page 233.

On May 30, 1800, the court held “the examination of Laughlin Fagin on suspicion of stealing an axe from the property of Joseph Going.” The prisoner plead “not guilty” and the court concurred with him, according to page 240. Joseph Going and Jesse Corn appeared in court July 2, 1800 as bondsmen for Isaac Collings, page 247. The bond required Isaac Collings to be “of good beheavior for 12 months, 1 day,” according to page 247. At the same time the court recorded a deed of trust from the defendant to the bondsmen.

Joseph Going accompanied his father in a move to Madison County, Kentucky. He appeared as a taxpayer there during the period from 1800 to 1811. In 1803, “Joseph Goin” ap­peared on the tax list with “over 21, 120 acres of 3rd rate land on Silver Creek and four horses.” “Joseph Goens” reap­peared in the 1806 tax list of Paint Lick Creek.

“Joseph Goan” joined Thomas Sanders in posting bond of £50 for the marriage of Thomas Sanders to his sister, “Sally Goan,” January 22, 1808, according to Madison County marriage bonds. “Annaster Goan, widow” sent her consent for the county clerk to issue a marriage license to “Thomas Sanders and my daughter, Sally Goan” on the same date. Her consent form was witnessed by “Joseph [X] Goan” and “Francis [X] Goan.” Thomas Sanders is identified by Gerald Tudor as the son of Thomas Sanders and Emeline Sanders. A “Thomas Sanders” received a bond January 14, 1809 in Madison County to marry Susannah Wheeler. It is unknown if the two Thomas Sanders are the same man.

“Joseph Gowin” appeared in the 1810 census of Madison County as the head of a household:

“Gowin, Joseph white male over 45
white female over 45
white female 16-26
white female 16-26
white female 16-26
white female 10-16
white female 0-10
white male 0-10
white female 0-10”

on County he successfully applied for a Revolutionary pension. In 1821, each pensioner was required to appear in court and corroborate his eligibility for a pension. Joseph Going made his appearance at the Madison County Court in Richmond, Kentucky:

“The Commonwealth of Kentucky
Madison County:

On this 11th day of September 1818, before me the sub­scriber, one of the judges of the said county and for the state aforesaid personally appeared Joseph Goins, aged fifty-eight years; who being by me first duly sworn ac­cording to law, doth on his oath, make the following statement and declaration, in order to obtain the provi­sion made by the late law of Congress entitled ‘An act to provide for Certain Person engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the Revolutionary War; that he is a citizen of the state of Kentucky and resident in the county of Madison; and that he was en­listed for eighteen months at Bed­ford in the state of Vir­ginia on or about the first day of January, 1777 by one George Lambert, Capt. and served in the company commanded by Capt.

Sworn and declared before me the day and year afore­said.
Jas. Clark, Circuit Judge”

His pension began in 1819. In 1821 he was back in court to confirm his needy circumstances to justify the continuation of his $8 monthly pension:

“State of Kentucky, Madison County:

On the 5th day of December 1821 personally ap­peared in open court, being a court of record for the said state and County of Madison, Joseph Gowin, aged sixty-three years, a resident in Madison County and state aforesaid, who being first duly sworn ac­cording to law doth on his oath declare that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows:

He belonged to Capt. George Lambert’s company of the Fourteenth Regiment of the Virginia Line, that his original declaration is dated the 11th day of Septem­ber 1818 and that the number of his pension certifi­cate is 10,256 and he further solemnly swore that he was a resi­dent citizen of the United States on the 18th day of March, 1818 and that he has not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of any property or any part thereof with the intent thereby so to di­minish it and bring himself within the purview of an Act of Congress entitled An Act to Provide for Cer­tain Persons Engaged in the Land and Naval Service of the United States in the Revolutionary War passed on the 18th day of March 1818 and that he has not, nor has any person in trust for him any property or se­curity contracts or debts due to him nor has he any in­come other than what is contained in the schedule hereto united and by him subscribed:

He states that he is by occupation a farmer, but from old age, disease and a stiff knee is unable to make a support by said occupation, that he has four children living with him, the oldest living with him named Eliz­abeth, aged about 22 years, the second named Polly, aged about 20 years, the third named Susan, aged about 18 years, the fourth named *Jenny, aged about 16 or 17 years, that his said children are all able to support themselves by their own labour, that he has a wife living with him aged about 60 years and very in­firm for that age.

In Testimony Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affix the seal of said court 21st day of November 1821 and in the 30th year of the C’wealth.

Some researchers had read the name of the fourth child as “Irving,” but the Daughters of the American Revolution made a close examination of the document and accepted “Jenny,” according to June A. Smith.

“Joseph Goine, private in the Virginia Line in the Revolu­tionary War who was born in 1754,” was Pensioner No. S-35979 in Madi­son County under the Act of 1818. He received $96 Septem­ber 11, 1818, at the age 64, according to “Revolutionary Soldiers in Kentucky” by Quisenberry. Joseph Going re­ceived an additional [annual] pension payment of $96 May 4, 1819. He died August 29, 1822, according to James Edwin Crates. Christine S. Agee states that he died in Prairie Township, Howard County, Missouri, having moved there about 1821 with some of his children. It is suggested that he was buried in Walnut Hill Cemetery there, but no marker has been found to verify. Grave markers have been found there for Everett Gowin, born October 16, 1888, died May 11, 1952 and Della Mae G[H?]inton Gowin, 1899-1969.

June A. Smith advises that Joseph Going left his pension matters with an attorney in Madison County when he removed to Mis­souri and that there are letters in his pension file showing that the attorney continued to cash his pension checks after Joseph Going had died.

John Goin was appointed administrator of his father’s estate, according to Howard County Probate Book B, page 122. How­ever, John Goin became seriously ill shortly afterward and filed his own will there in 1824. Willis E. Green was then appointed administrator of the estate of “Joseph Gowen.” Apparently Willis E. Green also became ill and Loverance Evans succeed Green as executor of the estate of Joseph Going. Wesley S. Green, brother of Willis E. Green, was appointed administrator of the estate of Willis E. Green.

Isham Gowen, believed to be a son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was born about 1762. “Isham Go­ing” was married to “Anne Burnes” February 14, 1785, ac­cording to “Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Virginia, 1755-1800.” Ben­jamin Rice was surety. Isham Gowen was surety for the marriage of “Betsy Gowing to John Gowen” De­cember 22, 1795. Anne Burns was a “first cousin to Robert Burns the Scotch poet,” according to the research of Thomas Kindred Gowen II of Shelbyville, Tennessee.

The ancestry of Robert Burns was researched in parish records by Thomas S. McRorie, curator of the Robert Burns home lo­cated six north of Dumfries, Dumfriesshire from 1945 to 1961. Robert Burns died there July 21, 1796 after a five-year resi­dence.

He was born January 25, 1759 at Ayr, Ayrshire to William Burnes [1721-1784] and Agnes Brown Burnes [1732-1820]. William Burnes was born to Robert Burnes, born about 1691, and Isabel Keith Burnes whom he married about 1716. Robert Burnes was born about 1679 to James Burnes [1656-1743] and Margaret Falconer Burnes.

Robert Burnes and Isabel Keith Burns had two other sons who lived to maturity–James Burnes [1717-1761] and Robert Burnes [1719-1789]. Mildred Evelyn Royal Ayres of Richard­son, Texas, a descendant of James Burns Gowen, suggests that James Burnes [1717-1761], “Provost of Mon­trose,” may have been the father of the Burnes sisters who married the Gowen brothers in Bedford County.

“Isham Goin” and “Jeremiah Goin” were sureties for the mar­riage of “Nancy Goin” to Henry Vanover August 28, 1795. Isham Gowen was surety for the marriage of “Elizabeth Gow­ing to John Gowen [Gower?]” December 22, 1795, according to “Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Virginia, 1755-1780.” “Consent of William Gowing, father of Betsy” was noted.

Apparently Anne Burns Gowen died about 1793. It is believed that Isham Gowen was subsequently remarried, wife’s name Magdalene. He joined his parents in witnessing a deed in 1796, according to June A. Smith. In July 1796 he was appointed a constable in Bedford County.

On June 25, 1798 Isham Gowen joined his father in posting a $20 peace bond for Armister Going with Bedford County Court. The bond was to assure the court that Armister Going would not injure Katherine Burks who felt threatened by her. Isham Gowen died about 1799.

“Isham Going” received a deed in 1798 from Jeremiah Hilton, according to Bedford County Deed Book 10, page 481.

On December 23, 1799, “on the motion of Magdalene Going, William Hunderall & Jesse Leftwich, administration is granted them on the estate of Isham Going, dec’d who made oath and gave bond,” according to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records.” Book 2, page 40.

The notation “Isham Going, Account Current” appeared in the Bedford County court records dated in January 1800. William Hudnal and Jesse Leftwich were listed as administrators on pa­pers returned to court July 27, 1801, according to Bedford County Court Minute Book 4, page 51.

In the court term of November 1803, “It is ordered that Frazer Otey, Augustine Leftwich, Michal Graham and Joel Leftwich, or any three, be appointed to lay off and allot to Magdaline Gowing her 1/3 in her late husband Isham Gow­ing’s estate,” ac­cording to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 13, page 58.

She was preparing to remarry “Mr. Burch and had petitioned the court for her dower rights.” The Gowen step-children were an encumbrance to her, and her marriage might have been con­tingent on the disposal of the orphans. The children had no family left in Bedford County to take them in, all having re­moved to Madison County, Kentucky.

“Magdaline Going” was back in court in 1812 to secure the allotment of her dower,” according to Bedford County Court Minute Book 4, page 51. The account was “settled” in 1820 by Jesse Leftwitch administrator, according to Court Minute Book 5, page 199.

It is believed that children born to Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen include:

Elizabeth Gowen born about 1787
William Gowen born about 1789
John Gowen born about 1790
Garrett Gowen born about 1792

Elizabeth Gowen, regarded as a daughter of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen, was born about 1787 in Bedford County.

On July 22, 1805, “It is ordered that the Overseer of the Poor bind Elizabeth Going to Thomas Hudnall and William Going to John B. Witt, according to law,” according to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 2, page 225.

William Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen, was born about 1789 in Bedford County. In 1805 he was bound out to John B. Witt.

John Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen, was born about 1790 in Bedford County.

On September 28, 1801, “Complaint of John Gowen, an ap­prentice boy to Samuel Poindexter, his master, for ill treat­ment. On hearing, it is the opinion of the Court that the said Samuel Poindexter has violated his contract specified in the indenture. Whereupon it is ordered that he be bound by the Overseers of the Poor to Silas Hastings, according to law,” according to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 2, page 201.

Garrett Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen, was born about 1792 in Bedford County. On July 2, 1805, “It is ordered that the Overseer of the Poor bind Garrett Going to William Saunders, according to law,” ac­cording to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 2, page 227.

One son was born to Isham Gowen and Anne Burns Gowen, according to June A. Smith whom she identifies as:

Isham Gowen, Jr. born about 1786

Isham Gowen, Jr, son of Isham Gowen and Anne Burns Gowen, was born in Bedford County about 1786. “Isham Going” received a deed from Jeremiah Hilton to land on Island Branch of Otter Creek January 20, 1796, according to Bedford County deed records.

Jeremiah Goin, son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was born about 1767. He was married about 1790, wife’s name believed to be Armester.

“Isham Goin and Jeremiah Goin,” were sureties for the marriage of their sister, Nancy Going when she was married August 28, 1795 to Henry Vanover, according to “Marriage Bonds of Bedford County, Virginia 1755-1800.”

In 1798, “Armester Going,” regarded as the wife of Jeremiah Goin, was released on her recognizance by the Bedford County Court in connection with a charge brought against her.

On June 25, 1798 “Armister Going appeared in discharge of her recognizance and it appears to the court by oath of Catherine Burks that she is afraid that the sd. Armester Go­ing will injure her either in her person or property & the said Armester Going being here present in court, it is ordered that she give security for her good behavior for the space of one year. Whereupon the sd. Armester Going acknowledged herself indebted to his Ex­cellency the Governor in the sum of $20 & Wm. Going, Sr. & Isham Going, her securities in the sum of $10 each to be levied,” according to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 11, page 273.

Jeremiah Goin may have been incapacitated or insolvent at the time. His father and his older brother provided the bond for Armester Goin.

It is believed that the stress of providing a living for herself and her minor children began to take its toll on Armester Goin.

Within 18 months she allowed one of her sons to be “bound out”. On September 23, 1800, “It is ordered that the Overseers of the Poor bind Christopher Goin, son of Anister Goin, to Enos Mitchell, according to law,” according to “Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,” Book 12, page 120.

“Jeremiah Goens” was recorded in the 1805 tax list of Madison County, Kentucky along with his father, “William Goens” and his brothers, “Micajah Goens, Manoah Goens and Joseph Goens.”

“Jeremiah Gowan” was a witness to the will of “James Gowan,” rregarded as his brother, August 15, 1814. He also purchased items at the estate sale.

Children born to Jeremiah Goin and Armester Goin include:

Christopher Goin born about 1791

Another child may have been born to Jeremiah Goin and Armester Goin–Tatum Goin. It is possible that the maiden name of Armester Goin was Tatum. Tatum Goin was born about 1800 to parents unknown. Documentation presently available on the seven sons of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan reveals the names of six of their seven daughters-in-law. Only the maiden name of Armester Goin, regarded as the wife of Jeremiah Goin, is undocumented. Tatum Goin was married about 1823, wife’s name Matilda.

Children born to Tatum Goin and Matilda Goin include:

Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins, Kentucky Union Militia, appeared in “War Department Records” of the Civil War at Frankfort. Sanford Willoughby Goins would be 47 years old at that time.

On July 25, 1862 Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins was shown to be in command of a company of Home Guards responsible to Brig-Gen. G. Clay Smith, U. S. Army of Operations headquarters at Lebanon, Kentucky, according to “War Department Records,” Series I, Volume 16, part 1.

Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins is mentioned in correspondence dated August 22, 1862 from J. W. Finnell, Frankfort, Kentucky to Maj-Gen. Lew Wallace at Lexington, Ken­tucky, according to “War Department Records,” Series I, Volume 52, page 274. J. W. Finnell advises that “Goins is here, but has no men. There are two cannon here, but no one to handle them.” In another correspondence, also dated August 22, 1862, Brig-Gen. J. T. Boyle, Kentucky, advised Gen. Lew Wallace that the “Home Guards are almost useless–an encumbrance.”

Two years later apparently the Home Guards had improved their efficiency however, because Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins and his men are cited for commendation. According to “War Department Records” Series I, Volume 39, part 1, page 48, In­spector-General Daniel W. Lindsey of the Kentucky State Guard, wrote in a report from Frankfort, dated June 18, 1864, “Capt. Sanford Goin of Frankfort, among others, was com­mended for his bravery and handling the guns in the fort.”

The report stated that it appeared at that time that Gen. John H. Morgan, CSA, and his raiders would overrun Frankfort and capture the city. Since it was the state capitol, the Home Guard and the residents of the city loaded all the public records on a train and made preparations to move them to a safer place.

“On the morning of the 9th, “Lindsey’s report contin­ues” the train containing the public records with a guard com­posed of the clerks, various officers and volunteers from the militia, and some strangers in the city, all un­der the command of Mr. J. B. Tilford of the adjutant general’s of­fice started for Louisville. When nearing Pleasureville the train came under fire. As the guerillas attacked, the engine was reversed. De­spite the fact that the rebels at­tempted to block the progress of the en­gine with rails [logs] the train crew managed to extricate the train and its cargo although a running fire was kept up for several miles through the impedimentia.

The train and the guard, all uninjured, returned to the de­pot about 7:15 p. m. The enrolled militia of this city, Peak’s Mill Precinct, and others parts of the county, had been collecting during the day. A squad under Captain Sanford Goin was sent to man the guns in the fort. Their defense of it would have been creditable to the militia had their number been sufficient to have lined the parapet from one end to the other, but I am satisfied that when the first assault was made there were not over 40 men in the fort.”

Col. George W. Monroe, commander, Twenty-second Ken­tucky Infantry Regiment reporting on the same engagement stated, “To Capt. Sanford Going, Sgt. Johnston, Mr. Bayliss of West Point and Mr. J. B. Gibson of Cincinnati, I am under spe­cial obligation for their efficient services in handling the ar­tillery.”

Another mention of Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins is contained in “War Department Records,” Series I, Volume 45, Part I page 893 in a directive from J. S. Butler, assistant adjutant-general, Lexington, Kentucky, dated November 14, 1864. It states:

“To Capt. Sanford Going, State Troops
Versailles, Kentucky.

You will take such a number of horses from the citizens of Versailles and surrounding coun­try as will en­able you to scout the country around Versailles to protect the area from rebels. These horses will be well used and returned to the owners when done by your scouts. Mr. Ward will assist you in procuring horses. Scout the country well and keep it clear of guerillas.”

Sanford Willoughby Goins died in 1892 and was buried in Frankfort Cemetery, according to a message dated October 31, 1999 from a descendant, name unknown.
