Drury O. Goyne, son of William Goyne, was born about 1764, probably in Orange County, North Carolina, according to Phillip Carson Goins, a descendant. The 1830 census of Upson County, Georgia show his birth as between 1760 and 1770.
Col. Carroll Heard Goyne who has also researched this individual, notes that Drury O. Goyne was not the same person as Drury Goins of Chester County, South Carolina records.

(Note: The above transactions appear to be for Drury Goyne and John Goyne above – children of William Goyne of Rutherford Co, NC. The other Drury Going was living in Chester Co, SC – and he had no close relationship with any “John Goyen” – so this does appear to be William’s children).
“Drury Gowin” first appeared in the deed records of Wilkes County, Georgia when he purchased 100 acres in Wilkes County from Abraham McAlhattan, Sr. for £40 on December 12, 1795 “on Stephens Creek, adjacent to Moses Stephens, Wm. Evans, William Allison & Henry Thompson, originally granted to George Rutledge.”
“Abstracts of Tax Records for Wilkes County for 1785-1805,” list “Goings” [various spellings] as follows: Aaron, Drury, Hardy, Henry, James, Jesse, John, Moses, Reuben, Samuel, Thomas, William and William Jr.”
Edward Gresham, J. P. registered the deed July 25, 1796 in Wilkes County Deed Book OO, page 26. “John Gowin,” perhaps the brother of Drury O. Goyne, was a witness to the deed.
“Drury Going” was listed as a taxpayer in the 1796 tax list of Wilkes County. He paid taxes on 100 acres on Stephens Creek. Frank Parker Hudson of Atlanta, Georgia explained the number-ing system. The two letters designate the militia district, and the number following is the sequence number of the individual as entered on the tax list:
“Drury Going, 1796-Capt. Turner’s District [MM-7], 100 acres on Stephens Creek, joins Moses Stephens.”
Drury O. Goyne continued to appear in Wilkes County tax records for several years thereafter:
“1797-Capt. Turner’s District (MM-65), 100 acres on Stephen’s Creek, joins Moses Stephens.’
The records for 1798 for MM district are missing.
Drury O. Goyne was listed as a tax defaulter for 1799 in the April 12, 1800 edition of the “Augusta Chronicle.”
On September 11, 1801 “Drury [X] Goings” sold his 100 acres on Stephen’s Creek to David/Davis Saxon for $300. John Hendrick and William Gammage witnessed the deed which was proved September 30, 1805, according to Wilkes County Deed Book VV, page 365. http://vault.georgiaarchives.org/cdm/compoundobject/collection/wccr/id/4640/rec/15

Drury O. Goyne was assessed one poll [no land] in 1802 in Capt. Ogletree’s District [MM-106] and perhaps the same in 1803. No tax records remain for the latter year.
Drury O. Goyne appeared to be single in 1797, but was married by 1802. It appears that he was the only son of William Goyne who remained in Georgia.
“William Hammack conveyed to “Drury Goyne, both of Wilkes County, for $275, in Wilkes County on Rocky Creek waters, adjacent to Hail’s old line on bank of said creek, Spring Branch, to creek at head, down creek, 68 2/4 acres, being part of a tract granted to Joseph McCornmack, 9 April 1792.

“Drury Goyen” was a witness to a deed April 15, 1804, according to Warren County Deed Book B, page 295. Drury Goyne of “Wilkerson County, Georgia” bought land in Baldwin County, Georgia January 10, 1809.
Drury O. Goyne was taxed on his Rocky Creek land in Wilkes County beginning in 1804:
“1804-Capt. Little’s District [RR-2], 68+ acres on Rocky Creek, joins Micajah Little, granted to Jos. Kelly.
Drury O. Goyne entered the 1807 Land Lottery, and received two draws. Qualifications were the same as in 1803. Evident-ly, he was a fortunate drawer in the 1807 Land Lottery, as he was listed as living in Wilkinson County in 1809. He pur-chased land in Baldwin County January 10, 1809:
“Morgan County, Superior Court Deeds. Hardy Newson, Jr. of Warren County conveys to Drury Goyne of Wil-kinson County for $400, Lot 144, 2nd District, Baldwin County, 202.5 acres,” according to Morgan County Deed Book B, page 420. Witnesses were L. B. Little, John Goyne, his brother and Micajah Little.”
It is suggested that L. B. Little and Micajah Little were bro-thers-in-law with Drury O. Goyne.
He received, under the terms of his father’s will, written in 1816, $1.50 from the estate.
“Drury Goin” filed suit in 1810 in Clarke County, Georgia against William Blalock, according to the minutes of the Clarke County Court.

Drury O. Goyne, son of William Goyne, was born about 1764, proba-
bly in Orange County, North Carolina, according to Philip Carson
Goins, a descendant. The 1830 census of Upson County, Georgia
shows his birth as between 1760 and 1770.

He acquired 85 acres nearby on Stephen’s Creeek on which he paid
taxes:

Creek, joins Wm. Evans, granted to George Rutledge.”
Drury O. Goyne was assessed one poll [no land] in 1802 in Capt.

tax records remain for the latter year.
Drury O. Goyne appeared to be single in 1797, but was married by
1802. It appears that he was the only son of William Goyne who
remained in Georgia.
He was registered in the land lottery from there in 1803, No.1188,
according to the research of Timothy Dean Hudson. In the lottery,
it is noted that he received “Two Draws”. Two draws meant that he
met certain requirements which were “free, white, 21, paid taxes,
had 12 months residency in Georgia, had wife and child.”
On May 20, 1803 he purchased land in Wilkes County, according to
Deed Book UU, page 254:
“William Hammack conveyed to “Drury Goyne, both of Wilkes County,
for $275, in Wilkes County on Rocky Creek waters, adjacent to

Drury O. Goyne entered the 1807 Land Lottery, and received two

was a fortunate drawer in the 1807 Land Lottery, as he was listed
as living in Wilkinson County in 1809. He purchased land in Bald-
win County January 10, 1809:
