GRANVILLE COUNTY, North Carolina:
Granville County, North Carolina: Granville County is especially confusing – it has at least two separate Going families living in the same county with several people having the same names. I have created a chart based on tithe records I have located to attempt to differentiate the families:
This chart is based on the following tithe records:

There was a family relationship between the Bass and Going family of Granville of some sort, and several Going individuals show up in transactions in SC in the 1750s.

Granville County, NC Map of Districts:
1) Gowing family that moved to Spartanburg Co, SC was located in NW of Granville, mostly in the County Line District, with Grassy Creek & Jonathans Creek. Some records show Island Creek.This Going family had moved out of Granville by about 1771/1772.
2) Gowing family related to the Bass family of Georgetown/Marion County, SC & Greene Co, TN were mostly found in the SW of Granville, in the Oxford District, Fishing Creek District, Henderson District & Fort Creek District. Most of this family moved out by 1788/89 after the death of Elizabeth Bass (but a few stayed – Edward Going Jr’s Rev War Pension Application in 1832 in Granville Co, NC indicates since he left the army after the Revolution he lived in Granville & Franklin Counties, NC).

BEARDEN CONNECTIONS:
Richard Bearding was grown in 1740 so that he must have been born about 1719. He obtained land in Granville County, North Carolina. In 1761 he was living there on Reedy Creek (Book E, p. 51).
Richard Bearding and wife, Martha W. Bearding, of Bute County, deed land on Rocky Creek, August, 1764 (Book 9, pp. 176 342), Halifax County.
February 19, 1773, Richard Bearden’s name is mentioned in a tax list, Bute County, North Carolina.
Richard Bearding sells the land on Reedy Creek, November 8, 1773, acquired in Granville County, 1761.
He and his wife deed land to John Carlisle in August, 1765 (Book IV, p. 257). Bute County.
Possibly Francis Bearden of Caroline County, Virginia, had, besides Richard, other sons: Humphrey, Thomas, John and Benjamin Bearden, all of whom had early grants of land in Granville County, North Carolina .
Benjamin Bearden (1) enters a claim for 640 acres which is also claimed by N. Snipe for patent May 6, 1778, and bond filed. Compromised and dismissed by order of Snipe, No. 75 W (p. 19), 1778-1785, North Carolina Historical Commission. This grant on Cat Tail Creek was bounded by Sherwood Harris, Alston, Johnston and Norman. Land Entries, 1778-1796 (p. 16), North Carolina Historical Commission. Another deed to 615 acres, dated Sept. 24, 1779, describes the tract as “on Harris line , Allston’s line” -crossing Harrisboro road. (Book 40, p. 217), Deeds, Granville County.
Benjamin Bearden of the foregoing land grant was through out his life a native of North Carolina.
Thomas Bearden was the first of his name to acquire land in Granville County. On March 12, 1760, Thomas Burden (Bearden), planter, of Granville County, is granted a tract from Earl Granville. (Book 7, p. 46). Between this date and September 5, 1785, nothing is known of Thomas Bearden. His name is found in Ninety Six District South Carolina, in the latter year, when his land on ”Small Branch” of Tiger, brings him to the neighborhood of kinsmen. (Deed Book 5, pp. 40-44).
Descendants of Thomas Bearden are untraced.
It is shown by research in the court records of Granville County, North Carolina, that Humphrey Bearden had an early grant there on July 28, 1761. He received a grant from Earl Granville to vacant lands on both sides Shocco Creek, the deed executed in Halifax County March 4, 1763, Joseph Montfort, witness. (Book G, p. 83).
No further record of Humphrey Bearden is found in North Carolina. The name is found in Greene County, Georgia, at a later period.
The Beardens who remained in Granville County many years following their migration to that section of North Carolina, intermarried with the Parhams, Harrises, Bennetts, Taylors and other ”old county” familiest. Benjamin Bearden, who died there in 1822, (Will below), names a son Richard who is thought to be Richard Bearden of Knox County, Tennessee.
(Record). ”Richard Bearden, born Granville County, North Carolina, Sept. 23, 1770, died, 1845; married in Knox County, Tennessee, Nancy Ann Bennett (daughter of Peter Bennett, Revolutionary soldier, Granville County, North Carolina, who was born Oct. 17, 1774). Richard Bearden and his wife, Nancy Ann (Bennett) Bearden, were married June 23, 1793.”
Issue: Marquis de Lafayette Bearden, born 1802, died 1854.

Wife: Molly Bearden.
Devisees: Chas. Bearden, Benj. Bearden, Jr., John Bearden, Richard Bearden, William Bearden, Betsy Bearden Harris‘ heirs, Lettice Knight, Sally Freeman, Edmund Parham, Lucy Tippett, Thomas W. Parham, Edmund Parham.
Witnesses: Samuel Harris, Tabitha Minor.
(Vol. 9, p. 70).
Items below explain names (not Bearden) mentioned in Benjamin Bearden’s Will .
All the Bearden settlers in Granville County, North Carolina, before the Revolution, seem to have obtained large acreage in their grants.” John Bearden of Granville County,” so designated in March 2, 1762, receives from Lord Granville 700 acres on Lick Branch. (Deeds F, p. 22). This execution was proved in Halifax County, North Carolina, August 1, 1862. (Book G, p. 23).
August 14, 1764, John Bearden, Sr., of Granville County, deeds Edmund Bearden of the same county “150 acres, bounded by Henry Feagin’s land,” John Bearden, Jr., Benj. Bearden, witnesses. Recorded November, 1764 (Book G, pp. 296-7).
More than ten years later, (October 15, 1784), John Bearden is living on the north side of Tiger River, Ninety–Six District, South Carolina, (Book 3, p. 427) South Carolina land grants, Columbia, South Carolina.
John Bearden died in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, in the year 1797. His estate is administered there on April 10th by Richard Bearden. Britton Williford and Thomas Betterton give bond for the administration.
From Gowen Manuscript: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gowenrf/Gowenms096.htm
Colonial North Carolina, particularly Granville County, was an area where a good relationship existed between whites and “free colored individuals.” A number of prominent individuals petitioned the state legislature for tax relief for inter-racial marriages, according to “Colonial and State Records of North Carolina,” Volume 5, [1755]:
“Records of the Legislature: The petition of sundry Inhabitants of the Counties of Northampton, Edgecombe, and Granville was read, setting forth that by the Laws now in force, free negroes and Mulattoes Intermarrying with white women are obliged to pay Taxes for their Wives and Families Praying Relief etc, on which the House Resolved that the Matters in the said petition contained are reasonable and that the Committee appointed to Revise the Laws receive a Clause or Clauses to be inserted in the laws for their relief.”
The matter was taken up again by the legislature in 1762, according to Volume 6:
“To the Worshipful the Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly. The petition of Sundry of the Inhabitants of the Counties of Northampton, Edgecombe and Granville Humbly Sheweth:
That by one Act of the Assembly passed in the year 1723, Intitled ‘An Act for an Additional Tax on all free Negroes, Mulattoes, Mustees and such Persons, Male & Female, as now are or hereafter shall be intermarried with any such Person resident in the Government. It was enacted That all free Negroes etc, that were or should thereafter be Inhabitants of this Province being of the Age of twelve Years & upwards should be deemed Tythables and as such should yearly pay the same Levies and Taxes as other Tythable Inhabitants.”
That many Inhabitants of the sd Counties who are Free Negroes & Mulattoes and persons of Probity & good Demeanor and chearfully contribute towards the Discharge of every Public Duty injoined them by Law. But by reason of being obliged by the sd Act of Assembly to pay Levies for their Wives and Daughters as therein mentioned are greatly Impoverished and many of them rendered unable to support themselves and Families with the common Necessaries of Life.
Wherefore your Petitioners would humbly pray in behalf of the Sd free Negroes etc, That so much of the said recited Act as compels such of them as Intermarry with those of their own complection to pay Taxes for their Wives & Daughters may be repealed or that they may be other relieved as to your Worships in your great Wisdom seem meet. And you Petitioners as in Duty bound shall ever pray, etc.”

Historians sometime refer to mulattos in this area as Melungeons. Colonial recorders, upon occasion, listed them as “white” and, at other times, recorded them as mulattos because of the color of their skin. The term “Melungeon” was a more recent appellation and was probably not widely used in colonial times. A large colony of Melungeons by the name of Gowen [and other spelling variations] existed in Melungia, the area where Virginia, Tennesseee, North Carolina and Kentucky come together.
