MOSES GOINS AND LOUISIANA HOOSIER GOINS PIONEER IN VERNON PARISH, LOUISIANA
Moses Goins, son of William Moses Goins and Charlotte Elizabeth
Nelson Goins, was born January 15, 1838, according to Curtis
Jacobs. Curtis Jacobs was an early day researcher in DeRidder,
Louisiana and compiled a database of Beauregard Parish history.
His collection contained over 15,000 names and 8,000 family
group sheets and had been deposited in Beauregard Parish upon
his death. According to Nelda Faye Goins Liles, Foundation mem-
ber of Natchitoches, Louisiana, the Library burned a few years
later and his collection was destroyed. Fortunately a LDS
Church film crew had come to DeRidder and microfilmed the col-
lection shortly before the fire.
Subsequently, the Curtis & Gladys Jacobs Memorial Collection
was donated to Sam Houston Regional Library & Research Center
in nearby Liberty, Texas. The collection holds vital statis-
tics, military records, deed records and burial records of
“virtually everyone buried in Beauregard Parish after 1880,”
according to Mrs. Liles.
Moses Goins was married April 28, 1859 in Newton County, Texas
to Louisiana Hoosier, according to Newton County Marriage Book
B, page 150. She was born there February 26, 1839 to David
Hoosier. Moses Goins served the Confederacy during the Civil
War.
They appeared as the head of a household in the 1880 census of
