Documents or information to review to see where it fits:

Feb 28, 2017 – found this info on a William Gawine in Surry County, Virginia:

(Compare to info on page for John Gowing b. abt 1600-1615 in the York County, Virginia area:  https://goyengoinggowengoyneandgone.com/1620-john-gowing/ ).

1657 March 17 – Indenture of Capt Henry Perry, Esq . . . sells 250 acres to Edward Oliver in Upper Chippoakes, bordering upon the land of Wm. Gawine.  Capt Perry intermarried with the executrix of Jeremiah Clements.  This land also borders Wm. Thomas’ land.  Wits Wm Drummond and Worsham Hosmanden.  This is in Surry County, Virginia records.  Recorded Nov 10, 1660.

This fits in with the time-line of William Gowin being transported to the head of Ware Creek in York County, Virginia on April 14, 1653 by Mr. William Hoccaday.   (Note:  William Gowin may have been the son of John Gowing who was transported from Maryland to Northumberland County, Virginia in 1650).   See also, the transaction below in 1654 between a William “Gopeinge” (which may be a transcription error), and John King in Surry County, also involved was wit Nich. Perry.   Compare to the transaction below where in 1667 William “Gavin” was living adjacent to John King when John King sold land to a Legrand.   

It is possible these 3 documents in Surry County, Virginia are all talking about the same William Gowin who was transported to York County, Virginia in 1653.

1654 May 1 – a Wm. “Gopeinge” sold 100 acres land to Jno. King, land “inheritane” in his new plantation the Birchen Swamp, part of 250 acres granted Oct 6, 1651.  Land located on s side of Upper Chipoaks Cr in Surry County, from Wm Simmons land, adj plantation of John King.  Wits are Nich Perry and Peter Adams.  Surry County, Virginia.

1667 Nov 13 – John King sells 280 acrs of land in Burson Swamp to John Legrande, adjoining Simmons land, Wm Lea land, and Wm. Gavin land.  Wits John Rawlings and Walter Thompson.  Surry County, Virginia.

Feb 27, 2017 – Found this info on a John Guen document in Maryland:

1698 Oct 10 – Petition by the Honorable “Justices of the Provintiall Court” – for disbanding the “Reingers on the head of Patomick River. The petition goes on to say that continuing the Rangers in this area does no benefit for security but has “in our oppinion rather
Provoked the Indians to doe Mischeife and that even allmost within their Garison by which it appears they have not any awe on the Indiants, Neither has the Garrison been soe watchfull and dilligent as their Poast required . . . ” One of the signators is John Guen.  Prince Georges County, Maryland.
