(Note:  The above Drury Goyen may be either 1) Drury Goyen b. 1749 living in Chester Co, SC, or may be 2) Drury Goyne b. abt 1766 living in Rutherford Co, NC (William Goyne’s b. 1730-35’s son).  The transaction takes place near the border of Kershaw County and Fairfield County, South Carolina – near the Wateree Creek area it appears (see map below).  This may indicate a relationship between Drury Goyen b. 1749 and John Goyen in this transaction.   Interestingly, there was an Elizabeth Gowen widow of John Gowen dec’d involved in a transaction in Lancaster Co, SC in 1784. John Gowen noted as “decd” in 1784 needs to be identified.  He may be a parent of John Goyen noted in the above transactions.
