Inaccurate: The following is not correct – the warrant was issued in the name of an Amos Godwin – not the same.

On April 27, 1849 Hiram D. Goyne made an original entry on land in Union Parish, Louisiana using a Military Warrant issued in the name of Amos D. Goyne, Permit No. 44591, according to the research of Col. Carroll Heard Goyne, Jr. of Shreveport, Louisiana. Hiram D. Goyne was a son of William Goyne and Agnes “Nancy” Stroder Goyne, according to “Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732-1774” by Murtie Jane Clark. William Goyne, (likely) a brother to Amos Gowen, wrote his will in Warren County, Georgia in 1816.
