“William Going was one of 116 Rutherford County men who aligned with the Tories during the Revolutionary War. They served in the defeated army of Lt. Col. Patrick Ferguson in the Battle of Kings Mountain. Because of their action they were charged with treason by the Rutherford County Court, and their property was confiscated by the state. It is assumed that all of these men fled the state.
“In the battle 225 loyalists were killed, 163 were wounded and 715 were taken prisoner. As to patriots casualties, 28 were killed and 68 were wounded.

1793 – Oct 6 – Isabella Stroder’s will of October 6, 1793 names the Stroder children. Two of the named sons were married in Lincoln County, North Carolina. William Goyne lived on Ward’s Creek near First Broad River in eastern Rutherford County [now Cleveland County], which was bounded by Lincoln County to the east. Thus, the conclusion is drawn that William Goyne of Wilkes County, Georgia was the same William Gowen who previously lived in Rutherford County, North Carolina, and that he knew his second wife’s family in North Carolina prior to their move to Georgia.

1830 – Obadiah Going was the only member of the family listed in the 1830 census of Monroe County, Tennessee. His household appeared on Page 92 as:

“Going, Obadiah white male 50-60
white female 50-60
white female 10-15”

Obadiah Goings appeared in the 1840 census of Monroe County, page 189:

“Goings, Obadiah free colored male 55-100
white female 60-70”

He might have been of Melungeon ancestry, accounting for the dark color of his skin.

Obadiah Gowens was enumerated as the head of Household 484-71 in the 1850 census of Monroe County:

“Gowens, Obadiah 73, born in born in VA, farmer,
$250 real estate
Synthia 22, born in NC”

Obadiah Gowins and Synthia Gowins do not reappear in the 1860 census of Monroe County, according to Sandy Ratledge who researched the matter.

In September 1848 Hugh Goings of Monroe County was tried for “polygamy” at Madisonville, Tennessee by the Monroe County Circuit Court in Case No. 221, “the State of Tennessee vs. Hugh Goins.”

Evidence presented showed that Hugh Goins was married to Elizabeth Goins in Rutherford County, North Carolina April 1, 1820 and “remained so married when on July 5, 1848 in Monroe County, Tennessee he married Peggy Taylor, his wife, Elizabeth, being alive.”

Two weeks earlier Hugh Goins was married to Margaret “Peggy” Taylor in Monroe County by William Dyer, justice of the peace. The license was obtained June 8, 1848 and the ceremony was performed 18 days later, according to “Monroe County, Tennessee Records, 1820-1850” by Reba Bayless Boyer. The wedding took place June 26, 1848, according to “Monroe County, Tennessee Marriages, 1838-1850.”

“Peggy Goins” who was born in Virginia about 1815 was named as the head of Household 758-109 in the 1850 census of Monroe County:

“Goins, Peggy 35, born in born in VA
Jessee 20, born in TN
Alfred 17, born in TN
Rody 14, born in TN”

No mention is made of the conviction and imprisonment of Hugh Goins, but “Hugh Gowens” was enumerated in the state penitentiary in the 1850 census of Davidson County, Tennessee. He had been jailed that year for bigamy:

“Gowens, Hugh 53, laborer, born in TN”

Sandy Ratledge, family researcher of Cleveland, Tennessee in a later dated September 7, 1974 regarded Hugh Goins, bigamist, and Hugh Gowens, bigamist as the same man.

Whether Hugh Goins returned to Monroe County after his release from prison or not, is unknown. Prison records of the state penitentiary at Nashville, if still available, might reveal something more of the prisoner.

Children of Margaret “Peggy” Taylor Goins are unknown. Children born to Hugh Goins and Elizabeth Goins include:

William H. Goins born about 1821
Vice Goins born about 1825
Jesse Goins born about 1830
Alfred Goins born in January 1833
Thomas Goins born about 1834
Rhoda Goins born about 1836
James Goins born about 1838

Three families living in adjacent locations in adjoining McMinn County, Tennessee at the time of the 1850 census were obviously related to each other and possibly the bigamist, Hugh Goins. The households were enumerated as Andrew Goins, Household 2198-1516: William Brady, Household 2199-1517 and William Goins, Household 2200-1518. Elizabeth Goins living in the household of Andrew Goins is possibly the Elizabeth Goins who was married April 1, 1820 in Rutherford County, North Carolina to Hugh Goins, the bigamist.

William H. Goins, believed to be the first child of Hugh Goins and Elizabeth Goins, was born in 1821 in North Carolina, probably Rutherford County. He was married December 31, 1837 to Martha “Patsy” Hicks by William Rich, J.P. She died shortly after their marriage, perhaps in childbirth.

William H. Goins was remarried September 7, 1838 in Blount County byRobert Delzell, J.P. to Rachel Rudd. She was born about 1822.

William H. Goins appeared as the head of household in the 1850 census of McMinn County, Tennessee. His household, No. 2200-1518, consisted of:

“Goins, William 29, farmer, born in NC, illiterate
Rachel 28, born in TN
Elizabeth 8, born in TN
Stephen 5, born in TN
Hugh 1, born in TN
Vice 11, female, born in TN.”

An interesting parallel is the family of William Going who also appeared in the 1850 Census in Davidson County, Tennessee, household No. 233. The household was enumerated as:

“Going, William 37, born in TN
Rachel 34, born in TN
Elizabeth A. 12
Stephen J. 10
Hugh 5
Tabitha J. 1”

Although the ages do not match, it is possible that this was the household of William Goins who had moved to Davidson County to be near his father who was imprisoned there at that time.

Rachel Rudd Goins died about 1854 in Blount County. William H. Goins was remarried October 25, 1858 in Blount County to Susannah “Susan” Shoun who was born about 1842 in Tennessee. She died after 1880.

William H. Goins was a farmer and a brickmill laborer. He died after 1880 perhaps in Blount County, Tennessee, according to Sandy Ratledge.

Children born to William H. Goins and Rachel Rudd Goins include:

Vice Goins born about 1839
Elizabeth Anne Goins born in 1843
Stephen Alexander Goins born in 1845
Hugh H. Goins born August 30, 1849
Lucinda J. Goins born about 1850
William Henry Goins born in 1851

Children born to William H. Goins and Susannah “Susan” Shoun Goins include:

Ann D. Goins born about 1860
Sarah M. Goins born about 1864
Mary A. “Polly” Goins born about 1866
John B. Goins born about 1867
Ellen Goins born about 1870
James Goins born about 1871
Dallas Goins born about 1876
Josephine Goins born about 1879

Vice Goins, regarded as the first child of William H. Goins and Rachel Rudd Goins, was born about 1839 in Blount County. She was a namesake of Vice Goins Brady, believed to be her aunt. Vice Goins appeared in the 1850 census of McMinn County as an 11-year old living in the household of her parents, No. 2200-1518.

Elizabeth Anne “Betsy” Goins, daughter of William H. Goins and Rachel Rudd Goins, was born in August 1840, in Blount County, according to Sandy Ratledge. She appeared in the 1850 census of McMinn County in the household of her parents, No. 2200-1518, as an eight-year-old born in Tennessee.

She was married in McMinn County September 1, 1858, at age 15 to James Franklin Ratledge, who was born in Tennessee in 1840, according to McMinn County marriage records. James Franklin Ratledge was born in January 1834 in Greene County, Tennessee to Asbury Ratledge and Lucinda Jane Stallions Ratledge, No. 725, who appeared in the 1860 census of McMinn County as:

“Ratledge, James 20, laborer, $50 personal
property, born in TN
Elizabeth 19, housekeeping, born in TN
John 9/12, born in TN”

The household of James Franklin Ratledge appeared in the 1880 census of Monroe County, Tennessee, Enumeration District 1, Sweetwater Precinct, as:

“Ratledge, James 46, born in TN
Elizabeth 40, born in TN
John 19. born in TN
Mary J. 17, born in TN
James 14, born in TN
Eliza 13, born in TN
Sallie 10, born in TN
Lemuel 8, born in TN
Barnett 5, born in TN
Maurice 3, born in TN

James Franklin Ratledge served as a private in Company G, 59th Tennessee Mounted Infantry Regiment, CSA during the Civil War. He later received a Confederate pension from the State of Tennessee. He died June 7, 1916 in Blount County and was buried in Cedar Point Cemetery, Maryville, Tennessee in an unmarked grave.

Elizabeth Anne Goins Ratledge died August 7, 1907 and was buried in Old Mt Harmony Baptist Church cemetery in an unmarked grave, according to Mark H. Hall, a-great-great-grandson of Prairie Village, Kansas and a Foundation member.

Children born to James Franklin Ratledge and Elizabeth Anne Goins Ratledge include:

John Ratledge born in 1860
