GOOCHLAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA--D
ISHAM AND SUSANNA
"SUSAN" BRATCHER GOINS
Isham Goins (spelling varies)
was born ca. 1784 in Virginia. His birth year is based on the fact that he
seems to have first paid taxes in the year 1800 at age 16 as was required by law
at that time. We believe he was born in
Bedford County where his father appears on tax lists in 1783 and 1786, though
NOT in 1784 or 1785. His mother's name
is not known. We wonder if her maiden
name was "Preston" as Isham named his first child Preston. Campbell Co., TN records in 1839 tell us
that Isham was the only child of his parents marriage. He grew up in Bedford Co.,VA. Research is made difficult in two early
years of the State of Virginia due to the fact that the 1790 and 1800 censuses
were damaged or destroyed during the War of 1812. The 1790 and 1800 censuses have been ''reconstructed" by
using tax lists of the time periods. By
the 1810 census, which does exist for Bedford County, our Daniel Going and
Isham Goin families have left Virginia and migrated to Tennessee. The early Tennessee censuses were also
destroyed during the War of 1812 and the 1820 census for east Tennessee is
"lost" or "destroyed."
The earliest census we have for east Tennessee is the 1830. So
documentation in the areas where our particular Going/Goins families lived in
the late 1700s and early 1800s must be done from sources other than census
records.
Isham Goins was married
October 15, 1802 in Bedford County, Virginia to Susanna Bratcher. This marriage
is found in "Bedford County, Virginia Marriages,
1800‑1850".
Susanna, referred to on the
1850 census as Susan and in Gowen Research Foundation manuscripts as
"Sookie", was born in Bedford County, Virginia in 1787. Her father was Canada/Canidy Bratcher which
is verified by information given on the marriage license in Bedford County.
Canada Bratcher is on the 1787 Bedford County, Virginia tax list, verifying
Susanna's place of birth. Her mothers name has not been verified. Old Bratcher family information states that
Canada Bratcher married Rachael "Biddy" Robinson in Warren County,
Tennesse, but gives no date for the marriage.
Warren County, Tennessee was not formed until 1807 so a marriage for
these individuals could not possibly exist in that county. As previously stated,
Canada Bratcher was in Bedford County, Virginia in 1787. Also on that same tax list is John Bratcher
who is said to be Canada's father.
Canada's mother's name is given as Jane Canada. We have not found marriage records
for.either John and Jane Canada Bratcher or Canada and Rachael Robinson
Bratcher, but we feel they will eventually be found in the state of Virginia,
not in the state of Tennesse. We think
from looking at the surnames in the areas or Virginia and Tennessee where the
Bratcher families lived that Canada Bratcher's wife surname is likely to be
Robertson instead of Robinson. This feeling is also based on a statement in the
Bratcher family information that Susanna had a brother Robertson Bratcher who
who appears on Campbell County, Tennessee censuses, the same county in which
Isham and Susanna Bratcher Goins lived.
Isham and Susanna were young
when they married, with Isham being about 18 years of age and his new wife
perhaps as young as 15 years of age.
Their grandson, Benjamin Franklin Goin , son of their second child
Daniel Goin, states that his father Daniel was the second born child of Isham
and one of a family of 14 children.
This information is found in “Portrait and
Biographical Record of Johnson and Pettis Counties, Missouri",” published
in 1895. (Copy of this history with
this material) We have identified by name 11 children believed to be the sons
and daughters of Isham and Susanna. It is likely that the other 3 children died
as infants or in their younger years. At this time only three of the eleven
children listed have been documented as the children of Isham and Susanna: Daniel, Isham (Jr.) and Martha. There is
information given here on the eleven children who are at this time assumed to
be their children. We hope that further
research will lead to documentation of more of their children.
Isham and Susanna's first
child, Preston Goins, was born in 1804 in Bedford County, Virginia. The young
couple was living with Isham's parents at that time, as indicated by Bedford
County tax lists. This was a time when
children were usually named after grandparents. We do not find the name “Preston” to be a name found in the Goins
family, which causes us to wonder if “Preston” could have been Isham’s mother’s
maiden name. Shortly after the birth of
their first child, Isham and his family, along with members of Susanna's family
migrated across the mountains of Virginia and south into the state of
Tennessee. We find no evidence the
Isham and Susanna lived at any place in Tennessee except Campbell County. The area where we believe they settled would
have been in Claiborne County in 1805 but the new county of Campbell was formed
the next year.
In 1806 Isham and Susanna's
second child, Daniel, was born in Tennessee.
The year and state of his birth are verified by the 1850 Claiborne
County, Tennessee census. Daniel's son
Benjamin Franklin Goin (1835‑1913) states in the year 1895 in "Portrait and Biographical Record of Johnson and Pettis
Counties, Missouri" that his father was born in Tennessee, “the
second born in a family comprised of fourteen children". Daniel’s father, Benjamin Franklin's
grandfather, is named in this record as Isham Goins. Daniel was named after his paternal grandfather, Daniel
Going/Goins.
In 1807 Isham and Susanna's
third child, Jane, called Jenny, was born in Tennesee, probably in Campbell
County. The 1850, 1860 and 1880
Campbell County Tennessee census verify this information. Jenny and her family have not yet been found
on the 1870 census.
The couple's fourth child,
Canada, was born in 1808 in Tennessee, probably in Campbell County. This year
and place of birth are verified by the 1850, 1860 and 1870 Whitley County,
Kentucky censuses. Canada and his
family moved to Whitley County, which is adjacent to Campbell County Tennessee
on the north, across the Kentucky state line.
We have an unverified birth date for Canada of October 25, 1808. He has only a Civil War marker on his grave
and we have not been able to find a record of any birth date except the year
indicated by censuses. He was named
after his maternal qrandfather, Canada Bratcher.
There was probably a fifth
child born to Isham and Susanna about 1810 who is assumed to have died at a
young age.
In 1812 the sixth child,
William, was born in Tennessee, probably Campbell County. His age and state of birth are verified by
the 1850 and 1860 Campbell County, Tennessee censuses.
There is another William Goin
who was born in 1804 who appears with his wife Lucitha on the 1830, 1840 and
1850 Campbell County, Tennessee censuses and on the 1860 Fannin County, Texas
census. This William has been
considered to be the son of Isham and Susanna in the past. There are many mentions of this
"older" William in LDS Church records and in Gowen Research
Foundation manuscripts. He has been
listed many times as the son of Isham Goin.
Recent research by Jim Young of Mcalester, Oklahoma has omitted this
"older" William as Isham’s son primarily based on his place of
birth. The 1850 Campbell County,
Tennessee census lists him as being born in South Carolina. The 1860 Fannin County, Texas census also
lists his birthplace as South Carolina.
We do not know his relationship to the family of Isham Goins. He appears on the 1830 and 1840 Campbell
County, Tennesse census, married, with a family. He is not living "adjacent" to Isham Goins on any
Campbell County census but could be considered to be living "in the same
neighborhood". We hope further
research may someday tell as who the parents of this “olderl” William are. We do believe that he is not the son of
Isham, but that the "younger" William born about 1812 is Isham's
son. As the older William is found in Campell County on early censuses
along with Isham and his family we can't help but wonder if there is not a
family connection that we have not found.
In 1814 we find the first
record of Isham/Isam Goins in the state of Tennessee. Isham served in the 3rd Regiment of the East Tennessee Militia
during the War of 1812. His record from
the National Archives, Washington, DC shows him on a muster roll with his
company in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1814.
In May of 1815, after his discharge, we find an affidavit made in
Knoxville appointing a Knoxville Attorney to collect the pay due him for his
service. In this affidavit Isham Goins
states that he is "of Campbell County, Tennessee". (War of 1812 record is enclosed with this
material.)
In 1815 there was probably a
seventh child born to Isham and Susanna who died as an infant or at a young
age.
In 1816 Isham Going bought 2
parcels of land in Campbell County, Tennessee from Ephriam
Ellison/Allison. Both deeds bear the
same date of September 18, 1816. Each
deed is for ten acres of land for a total purchase of 20 acres. We now know from the land descriptions in
the deeds that our family is living in Campbell County at the foot of the
Cumberland Mountains on a wagon road cut to the mountains near Davis Gap. The land bought at this time is bounded by
Ellison's land as well as the land of Charles Bratcher, believed to be the
uncle of Susanna Bratcher Goins. (Deeds
are included with this material)
The next year, in 1817, Isham
and Susanna's eighth child, John, was born in Campbell County, Tennessee. We have an unverified birth date for John of
August 17, 1817. He has only a Civil
War marker on his grave in Whitley County, Kentucky and we have not been able
to find any date for his birth except the year indicated by census
records. The year of 1817 is verifed by
the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 Whitley County, Kentucky censuses.
In 1818 we find the second
record of Isham Goins in Campbell County when he appears on the tax list there.
On February 8, 1818 the ninth
child of Isham and Susanna, Rachael was born in Campbell County, Tennessee. We
assume she was named for her maternal Grandmother, Rachael Robinson/Robertson
Bratcher. The 1850 and 1860 Campbell
County, Tennessee censuses as well as the 1870 and 1880 Anderson County,
Tennessee censuses verify this year for her birth. Her birth and death dates are given on the her marker in Ross
Cemetery, near Coal Creek and Clinton, in Anderson County, Tennessee.
In 1820 it would seem that the
tenth child was born to Isham and Susanna in Campbell County, Tennessee. This child died young, prior to the 1830
census.
On January 12, 1822 Isham Goins
bought 60 acres of land in Campbell County, Tennessee from “Canidy” Bratcher,
who is assumed to be the brother of Susanna Bratcher Goins. This deed was witnessed by Daniel Goins,
Isham's father and “Canidy” Bratcher, Sr., Susanna's father. The deed states that this is the “place
whereon Isham Goins now lives". It
would appear that with a growing family which now included at least seven
children, Isham and Susanna had moved from the "Ellison land"
purchased in 1816 to the land of Susanna's brother prior to the purchase of
this land in 1822. The property,
according to the deed, adjoins the land that Isham purchased from Ellison in
1816. Other conditional lines mentioned
in the deed are with the property of Canidy Bratcher and Charles Bratcher. The
witnesses on this deed show that Isham's parents, Daniel Going and his wife, as
well as Susanna's parents, Canada and Rachael Bratcher (Sr.) were in Campbell
County, Tennesse in 1822.
In 1823 Isham Goins again
appears on the tax list in Campbell County, Tennessee..
In 1823 the eleventh child,
Isham, was born to Isham and Susanna in Campbell County, Tennessee. We find Isham referred to in Lee County,
Virginia records in later years as Isham M. Goins. Isham is found living at home
with his parents on the 1850 Campbell County, Tennessee census. After his marriage in Campbell County we
find him living in Rose Hill Township, Lee County, Virginia on the 1860, 1870
and 1880 censuses. The record of his
third marriage in Lee County, Virginia states that he is the son of Isham and
Susan Goins of Campbell County, Tennessee.
On July 5, 1824 Isham and
Susanna's twelfth child, James, was born in Campbell County, Tennessee. The 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 Campbell
County censuses verify this birth year.
His birth and death dates are taken, also, from his marker at Glade
Springs Baptist Church Cemetery in the community of Fincastle, Campbell County,
Tennessee.
In 1827 the thirteenth child,
Elizabeth, called Betsy, was born in Campbell County, Tennessee. We have found her marriage in Campbell
County but do not find she and her husband on the 1850 Campbell County
census. "Betsy" appears to
have died young, prior to September 1857, when her husband remarried in
Campbell County, Tennessee.
The 1830 Campbell County,
Tennessee census shows the household of Isham Goins and his wife with 9
children living at home, 6 sons and 3 daughters. Sons Preston, Daniel, William, John, Isham (Jr.) and James are
all unmarried and living at home. Their
daughters, Jane, Rachael and Elizabeth are also all unmarried and at home. Only
their son, Canada has married and is found to be living 10 houses away from his
Parents on this census.
Also in the household in 1830
is a male aged 60‑70 (born 1760‑1770). We believe this to be Isham's widowed father Daniel
Going/Goins. We know that Daniel was
living in Campbell County in 1822 when he witnessed a deed between his son and
Canada Bratcher. He is not listed on the Campbell County, Tennessee census as
head of his own household. We also know from Campbell County court records that
Daniel died in Campbell County in 1838.
It seems evident that this is he, living with his only son and his
family in 1830. Daniel was born 1755‑1758 and should be recorded on this
census as age 70‑80 (rather than age 60‑70)‑but probably
whoever gave the information to the census taker just wasn't sure how old
"Grandpa" was! Actually
"Grandpa" Going himself may not have been sure just how old he was!
(Census enclosed ‑ though you already have it)
In 1831 Isham and Susanna's fourteenth
and youngest child, Martha,was born in Campbell County, Tennessee. Martha is referred to on later censuses as
Mattie. Martha is found still unmarried
and living at home with her parents on the 1850 Campbell County, Tennessee
census. She married in Campbell County,
Tennessee in 1852 but has not been found on the 1860 census. The 1870 and 1880 census of Campbell County
verify her year of birth, as does the age given on the 1850 census.
By the end of this year, 1831, Susanna had given birth to
14 children in her life. Eleven of them
were living. Only their son Canada was married and had left home. Their home was probably typical of the
times, perhaps a two room log structure. With ten children living at home their
household was likely very crowded and one can imagine the work involved just
raising their food and cooking for a family of twelve!!
We believe Isham and Susanna
and their large family were living at this time in the eastern part of Campbell
County toward the Claiborne County line. There was a Post Office of Glenville
established in this area in 1832 with the name being changed to Fincastle in
1836. This post office existed until
1907 when it was moved to Lafollette, Tennessee. The mail in this area today is delivered from the post office in
Lafollette. But if you drive northeast
out of Lafollette on Route 63 along the base of the Cumberland mountains toward
Cumberland Gap you will still find the area called Fincastle. The settlements of Well Springs, Bethlehem
and Flat Hollow are still there also where our Goins family lived and their
descendants still live today. The area
has been changed since the early years of the county by the building of Norris
Dam on the Clinch River. Norris Lake now fills many of the valleys between the mountains
where this family once lived.
On March 4, 1839 Isham Goins
appeared in Campbell County, Tennesse Court to establish his fathers death and
his right of inheritence. The court
minutes read: "This day satisfactory evidence was produced in court proving
that Daniel Goins was a Revolutionary pensioner of the United States at the
rate of eight dollars per month, was a resident citizen of the County of
Campbell, in the State of Tennessee, that he died in the County of Campbell and
State of Tennessee, in the year one thousand eighthundred and thirty eight on
the 22nd day of August, that he left no widow that he has but his one child is
Isham Goins, who is his only heir at law.”
On April 27, 1840 Isham Goins
sold his land in Campbell County, Tennessee to his son Preston Goins. The deed
states that there are 100 acres of land being sold, but this is in error. It is actually only 80 acres.
The deed states that the land
is in three tracts and describes each tract seperately. The three tract descriptions are exactly the
same as the descriptions of the two ten acre parcels of land bought from
Ephriam Ellison in 1816 and the 60 acre parcel bought from Canada Bratcher in
1822. Curiously, Preston Goins is not
found on the Campbell County census in 1840, the same year he acquired his
father's property. Preston appears to
have married ca. 1836 and seems to have had two daughters by his first wife,
both born prior to 1840. We have searched
the census for 1840 in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky but do not find him as
the head of household in any of those three states.
The 1840 Campbell County,
Tennessee census shows that in this year Isham and Susanna have only their five
youngest children living at home. In
addition to Canada, who married prior to the 1830 census, their sons Preston,
Daniel and John as well as their daughter Jane have married since the last
census was taken. Their son William,
who is about 28 years of age at this time is not living at home. We have not been able to find him in 1840,
as we have not been able to find Preston the same year. Also in the household with Isham and Susanna
on this census is an older female, age 70‑80 (born 1760‑1770). This female has been tradionally thought to
be Susanna's mother Rachael "Biddy" Robinson/Robertson Bratcher. We cannot verify this.
We
have seen "old” Bratcher family information which has been passed on by
Janet Jensen. She stated that she did
not compile the data, but found it in the form of a hand written Family Record
in the same format as a family group sheet.
The compiler of the information was not known to Mrs. Jensen. It was obtained by her from the
Bradshaw--Bratcher Letter which was published and sold several years ago. The information on Canada Bratcher, Sr. and
his wife Rachael "Biddy" Robinson as found in this information
certainly needs to be documented. We
cannot find Susanna's father Canada Bratcher, Sr. on the 1830 census in East or
Middle Tennessee. There is an estate
settlement for him in Warren County, Tennessee dated May and July 1834. The administrator of this estate is Allen
Bratcher, said to be the son of Canada.There is a "Biddy Bratcher"
listed on the 1830 Campbell County, Tennessee census,but if her age is stated
correctly, she is too young to be the mother of Susanna Bratcher Goins. Further research on the Bratcher family
will, hopefully, provide some documentation on Canada Bratcher, Sr. and his
wife. Until further research is done,
we will reserve our judgement as to whom the 70‑80 year old female might
be who is living with Isham and Susanna Goins in 1840.
We find a deed dated Decamber
4, 1843 in Campbell County, Tennessee in Book K, pages 202 through 206. This deed is listed as "The Board of
Directors of the Bank of Tennessee vs. Ishem and Preston Goin.” These four pages show the actual disposition
of the property owned by Isham Goins.
In June of 1843 Chancery Court sitting at Tazwell for the District
composed of Grainger, Claiborn, and Campbell Counties found that a judgement in
the amount of $521.31 due to the Bank of Tennessee had existed prior to the
sale of Isham Goins property to his son Preston Goins. The Court declared the deed dated April 27,
1840 to be void. They further ordered
that the property be sold for the debt of Isham Goins. This sale was held on December 4, 1843 on
the courthouse steps in Jacksborough, the county seat of Campbell County. The property was sold for the amount of the
judgement-- $521.31 ‑ with the buyer being the Bank of Tennessee. On the September 16, 1847 the President and
Board of Directors of the Bank of
Tennessee at Rogersville requested that the court convey the lands bought by
them to George W. Woodson of Campbell County, Tennessee. (Copy of this deed and
court action is included with this material)
The
1850 census of Campbell County, Tennessee lists "Isem" Goin, 64 years
of age, born in Virginia. He is a
farmer with no value listed for land, indicating he does not own the land he is
living on. His wife, Susan, is 63 years
of age, born in Virginia. The couple
has two children living at home, Isem, age 26,and Martha, age 19. Isham and Susan are living three houses from
G. W. Woodson, who we believe to be George W. Woodson who bought Isham's land
from the Bank of Tennessee in 1847. It
appears that Isham Goins and his family may still be living in the same home
that they have lived in for years, perhaps "rented" from Woodson at
this time. Isham and Susanna's married
children Preston, William, John and Rachael are not living close to their
parents, although they are living close to each other. Perahps Woodson let Isham and Susan stay on
the land they had lived on for so many years‑but did not let their
married children live on that land.
None of the above mentioned children own land in 1850.
Isham
Goins and his wife Susanna "Susan" Bratcher Goins both died after the
1850 census but prior to the 1860 census.
It seems logical that they both died in Campbell County, Tennessee where
they had lived all of their lives. We
find no Will or estate settlement for Isham in Campbell County, but this would
not be unusual as he owned no land at the time of his death.
We will mention that we have
found, in Gowen Research Foundation manuscripts, death dates for both Isham and
Susan Goins. There is no source given
for these dates and we have not been able to verify them. The death date given
for Isham Goins is December 18, 1855 and it is said that he died in Campbell
County, Tennessee. Susan Bratcher Goins
is said to have died May 24, 1860 in Claiborne County, Tennessee. None of Isham and Susanna's children appear
on the 1860 census in Claiborne County and Susanna is not listed on the
mortality schedule of that census. We
would very much like to find the source of these death dates. We have checked
the 4 volumes of "Campbell County, Tennessee
Cemetery Records" by Edith Hutton and "Cemeteries
of Claiborne County, Tennessee" by Paul Johnson and do not fine
marked qraves listed for either Isham or Susanna.
We believe that they both died
in Campbell County, Tennessee. We
believe them to be buried in unmarked graves in the eastern part of that
county, probably in the area of Fincastle, Well Springs or Bethlehem where
their children are known to have lived in later years.

William Davis Gowen, son of William Gowen, Jr. and Jamima
"Jimminy" Burns Gowen, was born in 1788, according to his 1850 census
enumeration. He was orphaned at about
age eight, when his father was killed by an axe "in the hands of a crazy
man," according to William Floyd. His father may have been severely handicapped as a result of the
axe attack, but he survived and died in 1815 in Williamson County, Tennessee.
His mother joined the household of a brother, believed to be James
Burns, and William Davis Gowen and his brother, James Burns Gowen were
"bound out" to their uncle.
It is believed that James Burns elected to remove to middle Tennessee
about 1801 and took the Gowen family along in the move. About 1830, the Burns family joined a group
of Tennesseeans in moving to Illinois.
Members of the Gowen family continued to receive letters from the Burns
family for the next 25 years. A letter
written September 30, 1855 from Lebanon, Illinois from Marcus L. Burns,
believed to be a grandson of James Burns, has been preserved by the descendants
of William P. Gowen whom the writer addressed as "Dear Cousin."
William Davis Gowen was married about 1812 to Elizabeth
"Betty" Moore, described as a "most handsome woman" by descendants
of James Burns Gowen. In that year the
groom was 24, and the bride 17. He
became one of the first doctors in Rutherford County.
"Dr. Gowens" was mentioned in the settlement of the estate of
James Y. Laughlin who was deceased January 12, 1826 in Rutherford County. He deeded some land in that year to Richard
Vinson, according to Rutherford County deed records. He bought a geography book from the estate of G. L. Rucker for
$1.50 May 19, 1827, according to Rutherford County probate records.
Dr. William Davis Gowen was enumerated as the head of a household in
the 1830 census of Rutherford County:
"Gowen, William D. white
male 40-50
white
female 30-40
white
male
5-10
white
female
0-5
White
male
0-5
In 1833, Dr. William Davis Gowen deeded land to Jacob Wright, according
to Rutherford County Deed Book T, page 622.
In 1836, Cannon County was organized from the eastern side of
Rutherford County, and Dr. Gowen found himself in the new county. In 1838, he deeded land there to Susannah
Bell, according to Cannon County Deed Book A, page 452.
Dr. William Davis Gowen appeared as the head of a household in the 1840
census of Cannon County, page 127:
"Gowen, William D. white
male 50-60
white
male 15-20
white
female 10-15
white
male 10-15
white
female 5-10
white
female 0-5"
For some reason Elizabeth "Betty" Moore Gowen did not appear
in the 1840 enumeration.
Dr. Gowen "of Cannon County" witnessed the will of Edmund
Taylor at Woodbury, Tennessee May 5, 1847.
He deeded a plot of land to John Hays in 1849, according to Cannon
County Deed Book E, page 237.
On August 27, 1850 Dr. William Davis Gowen was enumerated as the head
of Household 13-13, Sixth Civil District in Cannon County:
"Gowen, W. E. 62,
born in VA, doctor, 1,500 real
estate
Elizabeth 55, born in TN
James J. 22, born in TN, student at
medicine
Matilda B. 20, born in TN, attending school"
Dr. Isaac M. Gowen, oldest child, does not appear in the enumeration. He had married and established his own
household in Cannon County at this time.
In 1851, Dr. William Davis Gowen deeded land to Henry Hays. In the same year, he purchased a house in
Woodbury, the county seat, from Adam Elrod, according to Cannon County Deed Book
5, page 385.
The fifth child, a daughter listed in the 1840 census, did not reappear
in 1850. It is assumed that she had
died during the decade. Alvin Estill
Lowe, an octogenarian of Rutherford County, related in December 1971 the story
of a Gowen daughter who was killed in a bizarre childhood accident. He stated that many years ago the youngster
was racing down the steep slope of "Gowen Hill" on Bradyville Pike in
east central Rutherford County at "breakneck speed." In her uncontrolable descent she collided
with a tree. The resulting impact
produced a concussion, and she died shortly afterward.
On June 8, 1852, Dr. William Davis Gowen wrote his will:
"I, William D. Gowen, of the County of Cannon and State of
Tennessee, being weak in body, but of sound mind and memory, do make and
publish this, my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others by me at
any time made.

as she may think best.
And lastly, I nominate and appoint Isaac M. Gowen my executor to this
my last will and testament, no bond required.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal on this the
8th day of May 1852.
William
D. Gowen
Certified by Cannon County Court, August 12, 1852. William D. Gowen, deceased."
Five years after the death of Dr. William Davis Gowen, a deed dated
August 7, 1857 conveyed to John Gowen the "north half of Lot 1, Section
10, fronting on Washington Street, Tullahoma, Coffee County, Tennessee."
Elizabeth "Betty" Moore Gowen appeared as the head of a
household in the 1860 census of adjoining Dekalb County, Tennessee:
"Gowen, Elizabeth 65,
born in TN, domestic
Barry, Matilda 28, born in TN, domestic
William
6, born in TN
Fannie
4, born in TN"
Elizabeth "Betty" Moore Gowen died May 21, 1867, according
to the research of a descendant, Nancy Ann Kelly Hargesheimer of Lubbock, Texas. Her obituary was published June 12, 1867 in
"The Gospel Advocate," a Church of
Christ publication:
"Gowen, Sister
Elizabeth. On Tuesday, May 21st, 1867
Sister Elizabeth, wife of the late Dr. W. D. Gowen of Cannon County at the
residence of her son, Dr. James Gowen in Nashville, Tennessee, closed her
pilgrimage on earth, in full hope of a much better state beyond the grave. In 1830, if we recollect, we had the
pleasure of immersing her into the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit upon
a confession of her faith, and for the past thirty-seven years our departed
sister led a quiet and peaceable life as a member of the family of the Lord;
and when seventy-eight years old, she left her friends without a murmur, and
with a hope, as to the future, unmingled with doubt or fear. 'Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord.' May her children and
grandchildren still lingering on the shores of mortality, be prepared to meet
our beloved sister in heaven.

"Betty" Moore Gowen, was born about 1814, probably in Rutherford
County. She was married there May 9,
1832 to Alexander Brown Carnes who was born in Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina in 1810. He was a son of
Alexander Carnes, Jr. and Mary Davis Carnes.
The family was enumerated in the 1840 census of nearby Bledsoe County,
Tennessee, page 14:

Cynthia M. Gowen Carnes died February 23, 1858, and her obituary
appeared in the August 1858 edition of "The
Gospel Advocate:"
"Dear Brethren--I
write to inform your readers of the death of a much esteemed and beloved sister
in the Lord, Cynthia Carnes. Sister C.
was a daughter of our well known deceased Bro. Dr. Gowen of Cannon County,
Tenn, and consort of Bro. A. B. Carnes.
Sister C. had been for a considerable time in poor health, and was fully
aware of the approach of the last enemy.
Here sufferings during her illness at times great, but she bore them
with fortitude, saying 'If it is right to wish it, I desire to be relieved
from my sufferings, let the will of Lord be done.' One of her favorite passages was, 'they that trust in the Lord
shall be at Mount Zion, which cannot be moved,' and when friends were weeping
around her, she quoted the lines--'To sleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which
none ever wake to weep.' Sister C. had
been a woman of prayer, daily, secret prayer, and when called to pass through
the dark valley, it was in prayer and faith that she entered its gloom, not
fearing nor doubting. Her chief regret,
she said, was that she had not done more for her Master in Heaven.
Sister C. had been for nearly thirty years in the church of God, having
been immersed by Bro. Frederick E. Becton.
She often talked with her children about dying, and her most fervent
desire was that they might be trained for the skies, and so live as to lay up
treasures in Heaver. For them chiefly,
she seemed desirous of living longer, but such was not the will of God. But though dead, she can still speak to them
by the memory of her piety, her counsels and prayers. May that word which was the staff on which the wife and mother
leaned in the journey to the tomb be the constant support of the husband and
the children through all the pilgrimage of life. In hope of eternal
life,
J. D.
Eichbaum
McMinnville, Tennessee, June 24th, 1858"
Alexander Brown Carnes was remarried about 1859, wife's name
Elizabeth. The family was recorded
again June 26, 1860 in the 1860 census of Cannon County as Household 462-462,
postoffice at Bradyville, Tennessee:

William Davis Gowen Carnes, son of Alexander Brown Carnes and Cynthia
M. Gowen Carnes, was born September 21, 1834 in Bledsoe County. He was married November 17, 1859 in Dekalb
County to Mary Josephine Vick, according to Nancy Ann Kelley Hargesheimer. Mary Josephine Vick Carnes was born in
1843. He became a teacher.
He was enumerated as the head of a household in the 1860 census of
Dekalb County June 12, 1860, postoffice at Liberty, Tennessee, Household
229-227:
"Carnes, W. D. G. 25,
born in TN, teacher, married
within
the year
Mary J. 17, born in TN"
The presence of William Davis Gowen Carnes in Dekalb County perhaps
explains why his grandmother Elizabeth "Betsy" Moore Gowen and his
aunt Matilda B. Gowen Barry were living in Dekalb County at this time. Mary Josephine Vick Carnes died in March
1880, and William Davis Gowen Carnes died January 21, 1908 in Thorpe Springs,

in Rutherford County. She was married May 26, 1842 in Cannon County to Nicholas
Calvert Tilford, Jr, according to the research of Imogene Tilford, a descendant
and member of Gowen Research Foundation of Effingham, Illinois. He was born January 22, 1822 in Lawrence
County, Alabama to Dr. Nicholas Calvert [Calvin?] Tilford and Jane Demasters
Tilford.
Dr. Nicholas Calvert Tilford was born about 1788 in Amherst County,
Virginia to James Tilford II, according to "Tilford
Trails." He was married
March 6, 1811 to Jane Demasters in Rockbridge County, Virginia. Dr. Nicholas Calvert Tilford died abvout
1822 in Lawrence County, Alabama, and his widow was remarried September 16,

Dr. Nicholas Calvert Tilford had lived in Rutherford County from 1812
to about 1818 and was probably well acquainted with Dr. William Davis
Gowen. Imogene Tilford pointed out that
both named children "Yandall," suggesting a possible common
relationship with a Yandall family.
Nancy Tilford, widow of John M. Tilford, appeared as the head of
Household 908-908 at Readyville, Tennessee in the 1850 census of Rutherford
County:
"Tilford, Nancy 65,
born in NC, farmer $5,500 real
estate,
$12,500 personal property
Henry 30, born in TN, laborer
McGowen, I. F. 36,
born in TN, female
W. T. 14, born in TN, male
John 11, born in TN, male"
Nicholas Calvert Tilford, Jr. became a physician, perhaps under the
tutelage of his father-in-law. They removed
from Tennessee to Grayson County, Kentucky before the 1850 census.
Julian Ann Yandall Gowen Tilford was mentioned in the well of her
father written May 8, 1852 as the recipient of "the yellow negro girl
named Louisa expressly for her own separate use and maintainance and heirs of
her body and that she is not to be subject or liable for the debts of her said
husband, N. C. Tilford."
Dr. Nicholas Calvert
Tilford died at age 55, March 15, 1877 in Grayson County as the result of a
fall from a cliff on his property. He

Grayson County. He was married about
1888 to Mary Wilkerson. He died March
15, 1919.
Isaac M[oore?] Gowen, son of Dr. William Davis Gowen and Elizabeth
"Betty" Moore Gowen, was born in 1824, probably in Rutherford
County. He is regarded as the
"white male, 5-10" who appeared in the 1830 census of his father's
household. He reappeared in the 1840
census of Cannon County as a "white male, 15-20." He served a medical apprenticeship under the
tutelage of his father. He may have
attended the University of Nashville Medical School, however it is uncertain in
what year the University added the medical school.
The vast majority of the doctors in the early nineteenth century were
products of the apprentice system. As
of 1800, only four medical schools existed in the United States. Medical training began to expand rapidly
after 1810. In the following three
decades 26 medical schools were founded.
In 1824, Nashville, with 4,000 population, was to receive a new
president for Cumberland College.
Philip Lindsley, acting president of Princeton College of Princeton, New
Jersey was induced to move to Tennessee, according to "Phillip
Lindsley and Education" by John F. Woolverton.
Lindsley arranged for great educational advances for Tennessee,
although he was not enthusiastic about the state. According to "Works of Philip
Lindsley," he wrote:
"You will find
nothing but cotton, tobacco, corn, whiskey and negroes in Tennessee, and
they're not worth the growing. Doctors
are made by guess, lawyers by magic. parsons by inspiration, legislators by
grog, merchants by mammon, farmers by necessity and editors and schoolmasters
by St. Nicholas."
In his occasional articles in the Nashville newspapers Lindsley
inveighed also, with a touch of snobbery, against tobacco chewing, the wearing
of hats in church and the city's propensity for committee meetings.
He took over the helm of Cumberland College which had been chartered as
Davidson Academy in 1785, five years after the Cumberland Compact was
signed. After a faltering start, Cumberland
College reopened in 1807 and conferred its first degrees in 1813. Poorly funded, it closed again in 1816, was
a grammar school in 1819 and reopened in 1820 with "moral philosophy,
rhetoric and languages," according to a letter written August 25, 1988 by
Carol Kaplan of Nashville Public Library.
Lindsley saw the school renamed the University of Nashville shortly
after his arrival. Under his guidance
the university was expanded to provide a wide academic range, and medical lectures
were added to the curriculum. By the
time of his resignation in 1850, the University of Nashville Medical College,
forerunner of Vanderbilt University, was the fourth largest in the nation.
Isaac M. Gowen was married about 1846, probably in Cannon County,
wife's name Elizabeth T. On August 24,
1850 they were enumerated as Household 58-58, Sixth Civil District in Cannon
County:
"Gowen, I. M. 26,
born in Tennessee, doctor, $450
real estate
E. T. 19, born in Tennessee
W. D. 2,
born in Tennessee"
In 1851, Dr. Isaac M. Gowen purchased property from William C. Miller,
according to Cannon County Deed Book G, page 70. In the same year, he deeded property to Dr. Nicholas Calvert
Tilford, his brother-in-law, according to Cannon County Deed Book G, page
192. In 1852, he received a deed from
J. J. Trott, according to Cannon County Deed Book I, page 35. Cannon County, Book K, page 456 records a
deed to G. W. Thompson in 1855 from him.
The 1860 census of Cannon County reveals that three more children were
born to the family during the decade:
"Gowen, Dr. I. M. 36,
born in Tennessee, physician,
$1,000 real estate
Elizabeth 30, born in Tennessee
William 12, born in Tennessee
Elizabeth 8, born in Tennessee
Pocahontas 6,
born in Tennessee
Susan
5, born in Tennessee"
"Tennessee Soldiers in the Civil War" shows Dr. Isaac M. Gowen as
an "Assistant Surgeon, Field & Staff" in the Eighteenth Tennessee
Infantry Regiment, C.S.A. during the Civil War. His granddaughter, Mrs. Berry Brewer Harris, was admitted in
United Daughters of the Confederacy, No. 43813, on the basis of his service,
according to "Confederate Patriot Index,"
Volume II.
“The Military Annals of Tennessee Confederate. First Series”: carried a
regimental history of the Eighteenth Tennessee Infantry Regiment:
“In the latter part of
April, 1861, soon after the guns turned upon Fort Sumter, sounded the
"doom-peal"
which inaugurated the war of the rebellion, a company was rapidly formed in
Rutherford county, and
organized by the election of the following-named officers: Captain, J. B.
Palmer; First Lieutenant,
W. R. Butler; Second Lieutenant, Frank Lytle; Third Lieutenant, Isham
Randolph. Capt. Palmer
was a prominent citizen and a leading lawyer of Murfreesboro, who was
warmly attached to the
Union, and, though deeply sensible of the wrongs which had been inflicted
upon the South, earnestly
hoped that the existing troubles might be settled without resort to arms,
or to the equally radical
measure of secession. When, however, he saw that the final issue had been
made, he unhesitatingly
espoused the cause of his native South, and took active steps to render all
the aid in his power.
Recognizing in him all the qualities necessary to make an able, a daring, and
yet
a prudent commander, the
brave men who formed the company by general acclaim chose him as
their leader. The company
was promptly sworn into the service, and by the 24th of May reached
Camp Trousdale, the
established rendezvous, near the Kentucky line. Other companies from
various parts of the
State had already arrived and were constantly coming into camp, and the
organization of regiments
was rapidly progressing. Perceiving the skill of Capt. Palmer in handling
his company, his
courteous and knightly bearing, and his general fitness as a commander, the
following-named companies
readily united on the 11th day of June, 1861, in constituting the
Eighteenth Tennessee
Regiment: Capt. J. B. Palmer's company, from Rutherford county; Capt. M. R.
Rushing's company, from Cannon county; Capt. H. J. St. John's company, Cannon
county; Capt.
B. G. Wood's company, Rutherford and Cannon counties; Capt.
B. F. Webb's company, Rutherford
and Bedford counties;
Capt. A. G. Carden's company, Wilson county; Capt. W. J. Grayson's
company, Wilson county;
Capt. A. J. McWhirter's company, Davidson county; Capt. Gid. H. Lowe's
company, Cheatham county;
Capt. W. H. Joyner's company, Sumner county. In the organization of
this regiment--one of the
gallantest that ever faced the enemy--Capt. Palmer was unanimously
elected Colonel. The
other officers were installed as follows: Lieutenant-colonel, A. G. Carden;
Major, Samuel Davis;
Adjutant, J. W. Roscoe; Capt. R. P. Crockett, Quartermaster; Capt. William
Wood, Commissary; Dr.
John Patterson, Surgeon; Dr.[Isaac M.Gowen] Gowan, Assistant Surgeon; James
Barton,
Sergeant-major. Lieut. W.
R. Butler was elected Captain of Palmer's company, and Capt. William
Putnam succeeded Capt.
Carden after the latter's promotion. Capt. Grayson died while at Camp
Trousdale, and was succeeded by Capt. William P. Bandy.
The regiment remained at
Camp Trousdale, where it was well drilled and disciplined, until
September 17th, when it
was ordered into active service at Bowling Green, Ky. The capture of Fort
Henry on the Tennessee
River, by the enemy early in February, 1862, made it necessary to
reenforce the garrison at
Fort Donelson on the Cumberland, which was threatened by a large body
of Federal troops under
command of Gen. Grant. A division under command of Gen. Buckner,
including the Eighteenth
Tennessee Regiment, was dispatched to that point, which was reached
Saturday, February 8th.
The Tennessee regiments of Cols. Bailey and Head had been stationed
there about a month, and
now, in addition to the troops from Bowling Green, the separate
commands of Gens. Pillow
and Floyd were sent to swell the army of defense. Sunday morning the
line of defense was laid
off, forming an irregular crescent, which reached from a point near the river
on the right to a lagoon
near Dover on the left. In a short time, however, the Confederate position
was completely invested
by the superior forces of the enemy. In the various sharp skirmishes which
ensued two companies of the Eighteenth Tennessee--Butler's and
Lowe's--were the first troops
which had a serious
engagement with the enemy. The history of the battle and the surrender has
become an oft-told tale.
The fort had proved itself more than a match for the attacking gun-boats,
but the greatly superior
numbers of the besieging forces made the issue on land more than doubtful
for the Confederates. It
became apparent that a desperate effort must be made to extricate the
besieged army, and it was
decided to make an attack and drive the enemy back, so as to uncover the
Wynne's Ferry road, and
enable the troops to escape and retreat. The movement was begun early
on the morning of the
15th, and after a severe conflict, lasting nearly nine hours, was crowned with
success. But the golden
opportunity was lost. By reason of an unfortunate misunderstanding or
confusion of counsel
among Gens. Pillow, Buckner, and Floyd, the Confederate troops, instead of
being withdrawn by the
way which had been opened, were kept confronting the enemy, and, after
the varying vicissitudes
of the day, were formed in a contracted position on the right. Gen. Grant's
forces gradually
recovered the lost ground, and at night it became evident that the capitulation
of
the Confederates was
inevitable. The next day Gen. Buckner surrendered the fort and the whole
command, with the
exception of Col. Forrest's cavalry regiment, which effected an escape, and the
major part of Gen.
Floyd's command, which crossed the river on a boat. The prisoners of war were
distributed among the
various military prisons in the North. The privates and non-commissioned
officers of the Eighteenth
Tennessee were confined at Camp Butler, in Illinois, and the captains and
lieutenants at Johnson's
Island. Col. Palmer, with other field officers, was sent to Camp Chase, and
thence to Fort Warren,
where he was held until the cartel was adopted. He was exchanged in August,
1862, at Harrison's
Landing, whence he proceeded to Richmond and reported for duty. He was
ordered to Vicksburg,
where his gallant regiment, after enduring for six months the privations and
hardships of a Northern
prison, was soon afterward landed. The exchanged commands were
ordered to Jackson,
Miss., for recuperation and re"rganization.

Eighteenth Tennessee
Infantry
Several popular company
officers in the Eighteenth were naturally anxious for promotion, and had
announced themselves
candidates for the higher positions in the regiment. Having been thrown into
close association with
the men on the return voyage, they had excellent opportunities of presenting
their claims, and were
confident of pressing them to a successful issue. Although he had been
separated by the fortunes
of war from his men, Col. Palmer was convinced that he retained their
esteem and confidence;
yet he declined to make any contest for the office. Despite his declination,
however, he was reelected
Colonel by a handsome majority over his worthy opponent, Capt. W. R.
Butler, whose value as an
officer was afterward recognized by his election as Lieutenant-colonel,
upon the retirement of
Lieut.-col. A. G. Carden. The other officers elected at the re"rganization
were: Lieutenant-colonel,
A. G. Carden; Major, W. H. Joyner; Adjutant, John Douglass.

Not many days after the
re"rganization, the Eighteenth, with other regiments, was transported by
rail over a long and
circuitous route to Knoxville, Tenn., with the purpose in view of joining Gen.
Bragg's army, which had
advanced into Kentucky. The news having been received that Gen. Bragg
was retiring from
Kentucky, Col. Palmer's regiment, Col. Cook's Thirty-second Tennessee, and Col.
Lillard's Twenty-sixth
Tennessee, were sent, some time in October, to Murfreesboro, where, with
the Fourth Florida and
Col. McKinstry's Alabama regiment, a brigade was formed and placed under
Col. Palmer's command. This brigade was known as the Second
Brigade, and afterward as Palmer's
brigade, and was placed
in Gen. Breckenridge's division when Gen. Bragg had concentrated his
forces at Murfreesboro.
On the 28th of December, just before the great battle, the Alabama and
Florida regiments of
Palmer's brigade were assigned to other commands, and the Forty-fifth
Tennessee Regiment was
added to the brigade.

Gen. Rosecrans, with a
splendidly equipped army of sixty-five thousand men, advanced from
Nashville, and on the
30th of December confronted the Confederate forces at Murfreesboro. Gen.
Bragg's army was formed
in a line across Stone's River, the main body being on the west side and
Breckenridge's division
on the east side of the river. Although having a much inferior force in point
of numbers, Gen. Bragg
decided to take the initiative, and on the morning of the 31st began the
attack. In the long and
hotly contested battle which ensued Rosecrans's right wing was driven back
until at night-fall the
greater part of his line was formed nearly at a right angle to the position it
occupied in the morning.
Breckenridge's division, on the east side of the river, was not engaged
during the day, but in the afternoon two brigades--Preston's
and Palmer's--were ordered to cross
the river and attack a
seemingly impregnable position held by the enemy, and which was their
central and pivoted
stronghold. The two brigades forded the river, and moved in splendid style over
a long stretch of open
field in the face of a storm of shell, grape-shot, and canister. Col. Palmer at
last got his brigade in
position to attack the enemy's stronghold; but just at this juncture it was
discovered that Preston's
brigade, having been obstructed in its march by the Cowan house, had
become unavoidably
confused and thrown out of its bearings. Under the circumstances, Col.
Palmer was instructed to
desist from the assault, which he and his men were only too eager to make.
That night the two
brigades resumed their places on the east side of the river.

The armies remained
comparatively quiet during the next day, but in the afternoon of January 2,
1863, Breckenridge's
division made one of the bloodiest charges of the war. Just before the forward
movement was made, Gen.
Pillow, who was without a command and anxious to have one, was
assigned by Gen. Bragg to
the brigade which Col. Palmer commanded. Gen. Breckenridge expressed
great regret at this
action, and informed Col. Palmer that the privilege would be accorded him of
honorably retiring from
the field. But that gallant officer had too high a sense of duty to avail
himself of this
privilege. He immediately resumed command of his faithful regiment, and
pressing to
the front was a
conspicuous figure in the frightful conflict which followed. Indeed, in the
terrible
crisis of that hour of
carnage and disaster, he practically led the brigade. Pushing forward, he was
just upon the point of
securing an advantage which would have turned the tide of battle in favor of
the Southern troops, when
the supporting commands upon his left were forced to give way by
reason of the peculiar
circumstances of their situation, which rendered it impossible for them to
come into action. The
left wing of the division struck the river obliquely, and as the space became
more contracted as the
advance progressed, the regiments were soon unavoidably doubled up upon
one another in
inextricable confusion, and in this situation were subjected to a most terrific
and
destructive enfilade from
the enemy's batteries as well as small arms, which were massed on the
opposite side of the
river, against which they bravely stood as long as possible. Retreat became a
necessity, and as the
shades of evening were falling the division withdrew from the field with a loss
of over two thousand
killed and wounded. In this desperate struggle the Eighteenth Tennessee and
the Tennessee Brigade
suffered severely. Four brave men were killed and one badly wounded while
holding aloft the colors
of the regiment. Col. Palmer, who was at all times in the thickest of the
fight,
received three wounds. A
Minie-ball passed through the calf of his leg, another plowed through his
right-shoulder, and a
fragment of shell inflicted a painful would upon one of his knees. Yet though
thus severely wounded, he
did not leave the field, but remained with his command and conducted it
on the perilous backward
march. His horse during this time was shot in three places. Col. Palmer's
wounds physically
incapacitated him for service for about four months, at the end of which period
he rejoined the army at
Tullahoma, and accompanied his regiment in the tentative movement to
Fairfield in May. An
erysipelatous affection of his still unhealed wounds troubled him very much at
this time, and at last
became so serious he was compelled to leave the army again at Chattanooga,
whither it had in the
meantime retired. He was able, however, to return to his regiment at Loudon,
where it had been sent
with other troops after the evacuation of Chattanooga, and conducted it in
the various movements
which preceded the battle of Chickamauga.

Eighteenth Tennessee
Infantry
In this memorable
conflict the Tennessee troops bore themselves with their accustomed valor, and
won deserved praise from
their leaders. Throughout the two long and dreary days of death and
destruction, Gen. John C.
Brown's brigade of Tennesseans was unsurpassed in valorous
achievement, and the
Eighteenth Tennessee Regiment vied with the bravest in fortitude and
heroism. Early in the
action Col. Palmer, while leading a brilliant and successful charge and waving
his sword for the
encouragement of his men, fell dangeronsly wounded. A ball again tore through
his
right-shoulder, this time
severing a large artery. He lost a great quantity of blood, but death was
happily prevented by the
application of an improvised tourniquet. He was borne in an almost
lifeless condition to a
less exposed part of the field, where a faithful surgeon and a few attendants
did all in their power to
make him comfortable. After suffering intensely during the chilly night
which followed, he was
taken to an old stable, and there he remained until he was able to be
removed to more suitable
quarters. For a long and painful period he was disabled by this wound.
Meanwhile the army had
operated around Chattanooga, suffered the defeat at Missionary Ridge,
fallen back to Dalton,
and passed the winter; then, under command of Gen. Johnston, had followed
the famous retreat with
its every-day fighting, its incessant harships, and its notably and severely
contested battles.

Col. Palmer was
sufficiently recovered to rejoin the army at Chattahooche River, and upon his
return he was at once
assigned to the command of a brigade with the rank of Brigadier-general, a
well-deserved promotion,
which was warmly approved by the General of the army and the corps
and division commanders
as a just recognition of his ability and bravery. His brigade was composed
at this time of the
Eighteenth, Third, Thirty-second, and Forty-fifth Tennessee regiments, each one
of which had been many
times tried in the fires of battle and had won signal honors in the dangerous
school of war. His staff
consisted of the following-named officers: Capt. W. T. Powers, Assistant
Adjutant-general; Capt.
Gid. H. Lowe, Assistant Inspector-general; Capt. F. R. Burns, Aid-de-camp;
Capt. B. P. Ray, Quartermaster-general;
Capt. S. F. Carter, Commissary-general; Dr. J. F. Grant,
Brigade Surgeon.
Lieut.-col. W. R. Butler, who had some time before succeeded Lieut.-col.
Carden,
resigned, was promoted to
the Colonelcy of the Eighteenth Tennessee.

Eighteenth Tennessee
Infantry
When the army fell back to Atlanta, Palmer's brigade was placed
with its right resting on Peach-tree
street, one of the most
exposed as well as one of the most important positions in the line of defense.
Here, under a continuous
fire which daily lengthened the list of killed and wounded, it remained for
twenty-six days. It was
during the siege of Atlanta that the Eighteenth Tennessee, while on special
duty, had a desperate
passage at arms with a greatly superior force. The regiment was outflanked,
and the greater part of
it captured. Col. Butler escaped with a remnant of the regiment, which was
afterward consolidated
with the Third Tennessee, and the whole placed under his command. While
in this position, which
fronted at short range the frowning fortifications of the enemy, a special
scout one night reported
to Gen. Palmer that some extraordinary movement was being made by the
Federal forces in front,
the nature of which he could not definitely determine. Gen. Palmer
promptly reported the
fact to Gen. Hood, and being instructed by the General-in-chief to make
further investigation, he
took steps which that night discovered the complete withdrawal of the
enemy from his front, and
reported accordingly. Next morning the army woke to find the Federal
intrenchments deserted
all along the line. For several days the brigade moved from point to point
about Atlanta, until Gen,
Hood learned that Sherman's forces were threatening Jonesboro, some
thirty miles to the
south. A forced march was made by the brigade, and on the afternoon of August
30 it participated in the
engagement at Jonesboro. This battle, fought when the Confederate troops
were in an almost
exhausted condition, served only to check Sherman's flanking column. After the
engagement, Palmer's
brigade was marched, with the remainder of the corps, half-way back to
Atlanta, in order to be
available in case an attack were made upon the outer wing of our army, which
was retreating from the
Gate City. Atlanta having been abandoned, Gen. Hood withdrew his army to
Lovejoy's Station, below
Jonesboro, where it was permitted to remain some time, the Federal army
having in the meantime
retired to Atlanta. From Lovejoy's Station the Army of Tennessee was
marched to Palmetto, a
small town on the Chattahooche River. It was here that Jefferson Davis,
President of the
Confederate States, reviewed the army.

From Palmetto Gen. Hood
started with his army upon his famous and unfortunate march into
Tennessee. After
capturing several points along the railroad between Atlanta and Dalton, in
Sherman's rear, he
marched through Gadsden, Ala., on his way to Florence, on the Tennessee River,
which point was reached
about the first of November. Provoking delays in securing supplies for the
campaign prevented the advance into Tennessee until November 1st, at which time
Gen. Palmer's brigade headed the column of infantry which crossed the pontoon
bridge constructed for the
passage of the army. The
army remained at Florence about twenty days. The march was then
continued daily, and on
November 27th the brigade entered Columbia, driving out the rear-guard of
the Federal force, which
had retired across Duck River. The flank movement made on the 29th by
Stewart's and Cheatham's
corps for the purpose of intercepting the enemy at Spring Hill caused
Schofield to retreat
precipitately, and on the morning of the 30th Lee's corps followed rapidly from
Columbia. The Spring Hill
movement proved a failure, and the Federal forces succeeded in reaching their intrenchments at Franklin, where
they were attacked by Hood, and where was fought one of
the bloodiest battles of
the war. Palmer's brigade made a rapid and orderly march of nearly thirty
miles, and reached
Franklin at dark, toward the close of the day's engagement, and was placed in
the
front line, with orders
to renew the fight at daylight. The enemy, however, silently withdrew in the
night. The retreat of
Schofield and advance of Hood to Nashville followed.
On July 13, 1870 the household of Dr. Isaac M. Gowen, No. 232-238,
appeared in the census of Cannon County, Sixth Civil District, with postoffice

In the 1877 city directory of Nashville Dr. Isaac M. Gowen appeared as
a "druggist, 276 S. Spruce."
His brother, Dr. James J. Gowen had preceded him to Nashville about 1873
and probably influenced him to move there.
In the 1878 directory appeared "Isaac M. Gowen, Sr, druggist, 276
S. Spruce, home 367 S. Cherry. In the
1878 directory appeared, "Isaac M. Gowen, Sr, druggist, 276 S. Spruce,

listing read, "Isaac M. Gowen, Sr. and Isaac M. Gowen, Jr. [Gowen &
Son], home & boarder at 6 Gleaves, Gowen & Son Drug Store, 276 S.
Spruce."
On June 5, 1880, the household, No. 168-108, was enumerated at 6

Spruce. The 1881 and 1882 editions
carried "Isaac M. Gowen, physician S. Spruce, corner Fogg, home 80
Stevenson Avenue." In 1885 the directory
listed "Isaac M. Gowen, Sr, physician, home at 367 S. Spruce," the
last volume to carry his name. It is
assumed that Dr. Isaac M. Gowen died in 1885 at the age of 61. The 1887 edition listed "Elizabeth T.
Gowen, widow of Isaac, home 367 S. Spruce." She did not appear in subsequent editions.

written November 4, 1892 as "Mrs. Poca Height." The will specified that she was to receive
$100 and to participate in the division of the household effects.
Harry Ruben Height died in Davidson County in 1911, and she received
Confederate Widow's Pension No. 4251.
She removed to Florida in 1948 and died there the following year.
Children born to M. Pocahontas H. "Pokey" Gowen Height include:

Nashville. He was married about 1917,
wife's name unknown. In 1923 he was
bondsman for the marriage license of his cousin, Jesse Lee Gowen. He was named to receive "a house on
Olympic Street" in the will of his uncle, Isaac M. Gowen, Jr. He was to receive a second residence
mentioned in the will at the death of his aunt Hattie B. Gowen Bostick. His sons were mentioned in the will as
recipients of $100 each.
Susan Gowen, daughter of Dr. Isaac M. Gowen and Elizabeth T. Gowen,
was born about 1855. She appeared at
age five in the 1860 census as an a 13-year-old in the 1870 enumeration of

Jr, clerk, Church Street, corner S. Spruce [Gowen & Son Drug Store], boards
at 367 S. Spruce. The residence,
located perhaps a half block from the drugstore, was probably where his father
died in that year.
He reappeared in the
1886 edition as "Isaac M. Gowen, clerk, S. Spruce, corner Division, boards
at 367 S. Spruce. It is believe that
he moved the drugstore which he managed for his mother, a short distance down
Spruce Street to perhaps a larger quarters.
In 1887 he remained in the drug business at the corner of S. Spruce and
Division. He continued to board at his
mother's address, suggesting that he was still unmarried. In 1888 he continued in the drug business
and made his home at 605 S. Spruce. The

Height and Donald Height $100 each."
He bequeathed to his sister, Hattie B. Gowen Bostick his residence on
Reid Avenue during her lifetime and then specified that it was to go to Harry
G. Height, his nephew. The will also
specified that his property on Olympic Street was to go to Harry G. Height.
Robert Lee Gowen, son of Dr. Isaac M. Gowen and Elizabeth T. Gowen, was
born about 1864 in Cannon County. He
appeared as a 15-year-old in the 1880 census of Davidson County. In 1881 he was listed in the city directory
as a "pressman, 49 N. College, boards at 50 Fogg. In the 1885 edition he was shown as a
boarder at 367 S. Spruce, his mother's home.

effects. She was married about 1893,
husband's name Bostick.
Jessie Lee Gowen, daughter of Dr. Isaac M. Gowen and Elizabeth T.
Gowen, was born in September 1869, according to the 1870 Cannon County
census. She appeared as a 10-year-old
in the 1880 census of Davidson County in her father's household.
James J. Gowen, son of Dr. William Davis Gowen and Elizabeth Betty
Moore Gowen, was born in 1828 in Rutherford County. He is identifiable in the 1840 census of Cannon County in his
father's household. He appeared in the
1850 census of his father's household
in Cannon County as "age 22, student at medicine."
He was married February 27, 1853 to Martha E. Moore by M. G. Elkins,
E.C.C. [Elder, Church of Christ], according to Cannon County Marriage Book B,
page 23. He appeared in the 1868 city
directory of Nashville as a "clerk, 90 S. Market Street, home at 41
Fillmore." He probably influenced
other members of his family to move there.
"J. J. Gowen" appeared in the 1869 directory as a salesman
for Erwin, Pendleton & Co. In 1874
his listing read, "James J. Gowen, drug store, 168 Fillmore."
Dr. James J. Gowen and Martha E. Moore Gowen adopted Jessie Lee Corbett
about 1875. She was the daughter of
John Ford Corbett, a fellow druggist and riverboat pilot and Frances Mary
"Fanny" Revel Corbett.
Apparently her parents were in poor health and unable to care for her
properly. Her mother died March 23,
1875, and her father died February 22, 1877, according to the research of
Jeffrey Glen Reese, a great-great grandson of John Ford Corbett.
On January 29, 1877 Dr. James J. Gowen received title to a lot located
on Lebanon Pike from "Clark & Master," according to Davidson
County deed records. In 1878 his directory listing read, "James J.
Gowen, druggist, 168 Fillmore." In
1879 and 1880 it read, "James J. Gowen, druggist, Fillmore corner Wharf Avenue,"
which was the same address since the 1881 and 1882 directories again showed the
168 Fillmore address.
The family of Dr. James J. Gowen appeared in the 1880 census of
Davidson County, Enumeration District 45, page 25, living at 168 Fillmore
Street, also his business address:
"Gowen, James J. 51, born in TN
Martha 45, born in TN

Rascoe, James 18, born in TN, no relation"
An unidentified "Clay Gowen" appeared in the 1881 and 1882
editions of the Nashville city directory living next door to Dr. James J.
Gowen. The listing read "Clay
Gowen, carpenter, home at 164 Fillmore.
In 1885 his listing read, "works at 205 Fillmore, home at 200
Fillmore."
In the city directories for 1885 and 1886 the listing of Dr. James J.
Gowen read, "James J. Gowen, works at Gowen & Freeman, partnership of
J. J. Gowen and W. P. Freeman, drugs, 260 Fillmore." Apparently William Perkins Freeman, his
son-in-law, dropped out of the partnership in 1887 because the directory for
the year listed, "James J. Gowen, J. J. Gowen & Co, home 260
Fillmore." In 1888 the listing
read "James J. Gowen, drugs, Fillmore near Wharf Avenue." The drugstore apparently made a move about
1891 for in that year the directory carried "James J. Gowen, drugs, 129
Fillmore."
Dr. James J. Gowen did not appear in subsequent directories of the
city, suggesting that he died about 1891 at the age of 63. His widow appeared in the 1892 directory
residing at 127 Fillmore. She did not
appear in subsequent editions.
Martha E. Moore Gowen wrote her will November 4, 1892 shortly after the
death of her husband. The will, later
probated in Davidson County, specified:
"My adopted daughter, Mrs. Jessie L. Freeman is to receive
$400. My brother, Thomas J. Moore who
lives in Hutchins, Dallas County, Texas is to receive $400. My sister-in-law, Matilda B. Sullivan who
lives in Paris, Texas is to receive $200.
My niece, Mrs. Poka Height is to receive $150. My niece, Miss Hattie Gowen is to receive $100. My household effects are to be divided among
the above named individuals. The
residue of the $1,500 on deposit with Moddle Mill Company is to be used for my
funeral expenses. The deposit is
secured by William Letterer and William Myer.
I also bequeath to my niece, Mrs. Poka Height for the use of I. M. Gowen
the drugs and fixtures which are now in his possession on Spruce Street. I also appoint Elder J. C. Martin as my
administrator.
Martha
E. Gowen"
Dr. James J. Gowen and Martha E. Moore Gowen adopted:
Jessie Lee Corbett Gowen born in 1869

Moore written in 1892. Jessie Lee
Corbett Gowen Freeman died in June 1907 and was buried in Mt. Olivet

Freeman are unknown, but "Cannon County,
Tennessee History" by Spurlock mentions that "Dr. James Gowen
was the grandfather of Mrs. Berry Harris and her sisters Mrs. [Dr.] C. T. New
and Hattie Israel." P. J. New was
a longtime employee of the U.S. Weather Bureau in Nashville.
Matilda B. Gowen,
daughter of Dr. William Davis Gowen and Elizabeth "Betty" Moore
Gowen, was born in Cannon County about 1830.
She is suggested as the "white female, 5-10" in the 1840
census of her father's household. She
reappeared there in the 1850 census of Cannon County on August 27, 1850 at
"age 20, attending school."
She was married on a license issued September 24, 1850 in Cannon County
to John Barry.
In the 1860 census of adjoining Dekalb County she appeared with two
children living in the household of her mother:
"Gowen, Elizabeth 65,
born in TN, domestic
Barry, Matilda 28, born in TN, domestic
William
6, born in TN
Fannie
4, born in TN"
It is unknown what happened to her husband. Prior to the date of the will of her sister-in-law, Martha E.
Moore Gowen, she had remarried, husband's name Sullivan. She was living in Paris, Texas on November
4, 1892. Matilda B. Gowen Barry Sullivan
received $200 under the terms of the will.
Children born to her include:
William Barry born about 1854
Fannie Barry born about 1856
A daughter of Dr. William Davis Gowen and Elizabeth "Betty"
Moore Gowen, name unknown, was born about 1836. She is identifiable as a "white female, 0-5" who
appeared in the 1840 enumeration of his household in Cannon County. She did not appear in the 1850 enumeration,
suggesting that she had died during the decade. Possibly she was the "Gowen daughter" described by
Alvin Estel Lowe who stated that she "collided with a tree in a headlong
flight down Gowen Hill." The child
received a concussion and died shortly afterward.

James Gouven, son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was
born November 28, 1758 and was baptized February 18, 1759, according to "The Douglas Register," page 58. He served in the militia regiment commanded
by Col. Isaac Shelby of Kentucky. The
most outstanding service of the regiment was its participation in the victory
in the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina October 7, 1780. The American force led by Col. James
Williams, Col. William Campbell and Col. Shelby met a British force commanded
by Lt. Col. Patrick Ferguson. The
English commander, a dashing cavalry officer and expert left-handed swordsman
fought from horseback in close quarters until his death.
Back home, Col. Shelby became the first governor of Kentucky. Kentucky was admitted into the Union June 1,
1792 as the fifteenth state.
James Going was recorded in the 1802 tax list of Madison County. "James Goen" was married September
4, 1805 to Becky Sampson in Madison County.
He appeared with a wife in the 1800 census of Madison County. He reappeared in the 1806 tax list, living
in the Paint Lick Creek district. No
wife appeared in his 1810 census enumeration.
"James
Gowan" wrote his will August 15, 1814 and died later in that year in
Madison County. Witnesses to the will
were "Daniel Hubbard, Jeremiah Gowan and George Alcorn." Purchasers at his estate sale were
"Jeremiah Gowan, Agnes Goins, Joseph Going, Betsey Going, Francis Going,
Micajah Going, William Goin and Nancy Goin."
Final settlement of his estate was recorded October 4, 1819. It received "$48.62 for his service on
Shelby's campaign." This suggests
that James Going served in the Kentucky Militia under Col. Isaac Shelby during
the War of 1812. "Canaan
Going" also served in the Kentucky Militia, [Second Regiment] under Shelby
and fought in the Battle of Thames River October 5, 1813 in Canada.

Rev. Richard Goins, a son wrote of the life of his parents in his
autobiography, "Recollections of a
Reverend:"
"My father, Richard Goins, for whom I was named, was the son of
Granville G. Goin and Mary Jane Lake Goin, formerly of Claiborne County in
northeast Tennessee. So far as I have
been able to ascertain, they made the journey westward to Missouri about the
time of the Civil War, and eventually settled in the southern part of Daviess
County, close to the town of Breckenridge.
Many of the Goin [the letter "s" was added to the family name
around 1900] relatives are buried in the old Lick Fork Cemetery near there.
My mother, Lillie Viola Warner, was a daughter of James Nathan and
Amelia Guntin Warner formerly of the area around Anderson, Indiana. It appeared
that my mother's parents and other relatives were a part of a general westward
migration which took place in the 1880s and '90s. At any rate they too had established homes in southern Daviess
County in Missouri.
In the early years of their marriage, my father's livelihood from
working as a farmhand was supplemented by income gained from his skill as a
barber in the little [now extinct] town of Madilene, located about four miles
southwest of Gilman City.
There was railroad work to be found in nearby Trenton, where the Rock
Island Line was expanding operations, and so my folks moved there in about
1910.
Our home surroundings there on West 22nd Street in Trenton, where I
first lived, were most humble. The faded, white, three‑room frame house
was located on the edge of a large pasture and looking through the fence at
cattle grazing was an exciting pastime for a small child. Over to one side of
the house was a cistern with a pump to produce our water supply, while out
behind the house was the privy. Gardens
were necessary to supplement the family food supply and I remember how Dad
would pack cabbages, potatoes and other vegetables into wooden boxes which were
then buried in the ground so as to be dug out for use during the cold winter
months.
One of the three rooms in our little house contained a black iron
heating stove, along with other simple furnishings such as a davenport that
unfolded into a bed and a couple of rocking chairs. Another room contained, not only an iron cook stove, but also a
good‑sized drop‑leaf table, six chairs, and another fold‑away
bed. For washing purposes a heavy iron
boiler was filled with water and heated on the cook stove. The water was then dipped into a galvanized
tub, placed on two chairs and with some P&G soap and a scrub board the
clothing was washed. Of course, the
pieces were hand wrung and, even in the winter, were affixed to the line
outside to freeze dry. The one item in
the house, which might be considered a luxury, was a player piano, purchased by
my older sister, Hester, from her earnings as a telephone operator. How well do I remember the boxes of piano
rolls and also the lively tunes the piano turned out.
The third room in the little house was used, not only as a bedroom for
my parents, but was also the storage area for most of the family's
clothing. With no provisions for
heating that sleeping area, the winter months were made bearable only by the use
of hot flat irons wrapped in cloths and tucked beneath the bed covers.
As the effects of the Great Depression began to reach our town, the
loss of employment was widely felt and I even recall how our fifth grade
teacher talked to us and helped us children to be aware of the situation that
was rapidly developing. By now I had started to spend much of my summer time
with my grandparents, and there was much talk of hard times and how the
Federal Land Bank was taking over many farms and how it was commonly believed
that President Hoover was permitting the country to go to ruin.
In the spring of 1930, Dad's health was impaired because of a prostate
condition which resulted in surgery that summer. Although he had a most
difficult time, probably due in part to the limited medical facilities
available, still he managed to pull through and seemed to be on the road to
recovery. However, in less than a year,
he began to experience a recurrence of the problem. It appeared there was
little that could be done to help. Thus, in the fall and winter of 1931, his
condition continued to deteriorate from what was suspected to be a malignant
condition and, what was worse, there seemed to be little or no sedation available
to relieve his pain and suffering. My
mother nursed and cared for him as best she could through that long hard
winter. His bedfast confinement
lasted many months until his death in early May of 1932.
One October Sunday evening, Mother was invited by two neighborhood
couples to attend evening church services with them at the local Baptist
church. When, later in the evening, we
heard the voice and laughter of a man blending with Mom's voice out on our
front porch, there was puzzlement about this until, with the sound of a crash,
the mystery was solved. It seems that our neighbors had arranged for a widowed
gentleman friend of theirs to walk home from church with them in such a way
that he naturally would walk in the company of Mom. He had also remained to visit with her for a while in the porch
swing until one of the supporting chains had pulled loose under their weight
causing them to tumble. Then mother made an embarrassed entrance into the
house and explained the situation to my sister and me. This was our introduction to Rex Rains who was
to become Mother's second husband and our step‑father within a
year. We came to know him as one who
worked in the city's street maintenance department and as one whose wife had
passed away the previous year. Indeed our family came to appreciate Rex as one
of our own and we were happy that Mother found the companionship of one so
good‑natured and likeable, as well as being a dependable and hard‑working
person.
The following months were memorable for at least two reasons. For one
thing, the summer of 1934 witnessed the first of two devastating years of
drouth. How can one forget dark clouds
of dust that began filling the sky in 1934, the searing southwesterly winds and
temperatures reaching as high as 110‑115 degrees. On my maternal grandparent's farm, we
witnessed the crops being destroyed by heat and chinch bugs, wells drying up,
and streams ceasing to flow. Sleeping
out under the stars on the dry, brittle grass of the yard afforded some
measure of relief. Upon returning to Trenton in late August, there was some
adjustment to having two additional persons in our household including Rex, to
whom Mom had been married in June, and his teen‑aged son, Richard Rains,
who lived with us for a time."

Richard Goins, Jr. son of Richard Goins and Lillie Viola Warner Goins,
was born December 5, 1918 in Trenton.
He was graduated from Trenton High School May 20, 1937 and enrolled in
Trenton Junior College. He entered
Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa in 1941.
He was married June 14, 1942 to Marietta Laffoon, his high school
sweetheart in Trenton First Christian Church.
Receiving his B.A. degree in June 1943, he began work immediately on a
master's degree. For his thesis he
researched and wrote, "A History of Christian
Churches in Dallas County, Iowa."
He received his M.A. degree, and immediately enrolled in College of
the Bible Seminary at Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky.
"Lexington was my choice of seminaries, largely because of the
feeling that in some ways Kentucky is the very cradle of the Disciples of
Christ movement. Nor were we disappointed, for how thrilling it was to visit
the old Cain Ridge Meeting House up near Paris, Kentucky. There, outside the old log building was the
cemetery where Barton W. Stone, one of our pioneer religious leaders, was
buried. Also down in the center of
Lexington was one historical marker denoting the location where one of the
famous Alexander Campbell debates was held. When in my third year at the
seminary, I chose as my thesis topic "A History
of the College of the Bible."
My research involved interviewing persons such as Dr. Alonzo Fortune,
who by then was along in years, and also afflicted with blindness. But Dr.
Fortune, who had for many years served as pastor of Lexington Central Church
still possessed a keen mind, and he had learned the Braille system very well.
What a thrill it was to hear him tell of his acquaintance with the famous W. M.
Garvey who back at the beginning of the century was an intellectual force in
our movement."
He was graduated June 21, 1947, and moved to Marion, Iowa to begin his
first full-time ministry at a starting salary of $2,650 per year. On May 10, 1953 he became the minister of
the First Christian Church in Spencer, Iowa.
He accepted the ministry of Oscaloosa, Iowa July 1, 1957.
On January 29, 1967 they removed to Ottumwa, Iowa to fill the pulpit
there.
On February 22, 1977 he wrote,
"About five years ago I visited the town of Tazewell, Tennessee
which is the county seat of Claiborne County.
Some four or five miles away is the little town called Goin. It seems that there were at least three
different Goin families who inhabited that area in the early 1800s, and I have
not been able to relate these three families though I have corresponded with
relatives and descendants of the different clans.
It appears that our branch of the Goin family came through the
Cumberland Gap from Virginia in the early 1800s. They appeared to have settled first in Camp[bell County, and
then, after returning to Virginia briefly, they came back to settle in
Claiborne County which is adjacent to Campbell County on the east.
It appears that the family grew up in that territory and then, about
the time the Civil War broke out, when most of the boys were young men, they
migrated to Missouri. They appear to
have settled near Lexington in Lafayette County, Missouri. I have evidence that Benjamin Franklin Goin,
son of Daniel Goin arrived in that area in November of 1857. The records then seem to indicate that during
the Civil War years, the Goin brothers dispersed in different directions with
at least three of them, James, Granville and Bluford moving to the north part
of Missouri in Daviess County. I can
recall seeing my great uncle Bluford Goin when I was a boy at his home close to
Breckenridge, Missouri. Many of the
Goin relatives are buried at the old Lick Fork Cemetery near there."
In June 1973 he became the minister of the First Christian Church in
Boone, Iowa. He retired in 1984, and
they returned to Ottumwa where he was named to the board of directors of
Wapello County Historical Society.
After undergoing quintuple coronary by-pass surgery July 31, 1986,
Richard Goins curtailed his preaching activities and began to pursue less
strenuous pursuits.
Through the years, Richard Goins maintained his interest in family
history and in 1989 published "Recollections of a
Reverend." In January 1993
he, a member of the Gowen Research Foundation Editorial Board of Directors and
Marietta Laffoon Goins continued to live in Ottumwa. Richard Goins died November 3, 1994 as the result of injuries
suffered in an automobile accident near his home Marietta Lafoon Goins was injured in the accident, but was
released shortly afterward from Ottumwa Regional Health Center.

Spence testified, "I have known the defendant for three years, and have
been with him every day for two weeks.
He said he wanted to turn his bar around so that he stood in front of

Campbell County August 12, 1838, according to Col. Jim Young, Foundation member
of McAlester, Oklahoma. Doris Goin
Corn, a great-granddaughter of Tyler, Texas.
Mrs. Corn, a Foundation member, wrote October 3. 1993, "My father
told me that his grandfather, William Thomas Goin, who lived with his family,
appeared to be an Indian from his physical features and dress."
Various members of the Goin family associated with the Cherokees after
their removal to the Hamilton-Bradley County area, but sought to distance
themselves from the tribe about 1833 when it became apparent that the Indians
were destined to make the trek to Oklahoma along the "Trail of
Tears."
Seventy years later, their descendants were claiming Cherokee blood
when the federal government sought to redress some of the inequities inflicted

Joseph Going, son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was
born about 1760, probably in Goochland County.
He enlisted at Bedford, Virginia, in Bedford County in January 1777 in
the Fourteenth Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line. His activities are sometimes confused with
that of another individual of the same name, perhaps a cousin who also lived
in Bedford County. Joseph Going of the
Fourteenth Virginia Regiment later lived in Madison County, Kentucky. The other Joseph Goins enlisted in Bedford
County in the Virginia militia and later lived in Hancock County, Tennessee
where he died in 1859.
The Fourteenth Virginia Regiment joined the Continental Army at
Brandywine, Pennsylvania shortly after the battle fought there September 11,
1777. Under the command of Gen. George
Washington, the army engaged the British at Germantown, Pennsylvania on the
outskirts of Philadelphia October 4, 1777 and then were forced to withdraw
about 40 miles west to Valley Forge. In
bitter cold and without adequate supplies and rations, the 14th Virginia
suffered throughout the winter.
The Virginians were pitched into the ferocious Battle of Monmouth [New
Jersey] June 28, 1778 and helped to carry the day against Gen. Howe and the
English. It was in this battle that the
famous Molly Pitcher took the place of her injured husband, a cannoneer and
manned his gun, preventing its capture by the British.
Joseph Going was married to Judith Pollard September 20, 1780,
according to "Marriage Bonds of Bedford County,
Virginia, 1755-1780." John
Mitchell was surety for the marriage.
Judith Pollard was the daughter of Francis Pollard and Betty Phelps
Pollard, according to James Edwin Crates.
Joseph Going and John Mitchell posted bond:
"Know all men by these presents that we, Joseph Going and John
Mitchell are held etc. to Thomas Jefferson, Esq, Governor of Virginia in the
sum of Fifty Pounds on payment well & truly to be made, we bind ourselves,
our heirs, etc, firmly by these presents sealed and dated this 20th September,
1780.
The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas there is a
marriage shortly intended to be had and solemnized between the above bound
Joseph Going & Judith Pollard if therefore there be no lawfull cause to
obstruct the same, then this obligation to be void.
Sealed lc Joseph
[X] Going
Robert Alexander John
Mitchell"
Attached
to the bond was a note:
"This is to certifiy that I have no objection to Joseph Going
marrying with Juda Pollard. Given under
my hand this 17 day of September 1780.
John
[Tatum?]
[Surname
illegible]"
Francis Pollard was born about 1720, according to a descendant,
Elizabeth Harris, Duke University, citing "Oakes
Family Genealogical Data, 1640-1982." By 1749 he was living in Cumberland Parish, Lunenberg Co.
Virginia, working as a blacksmith. He
bought land in 1753 on Otter Creek, Lunenberg [later Bedford County] from John

Isham Gowen, believed to be a son of William Gowan and Anastasia
Sullivan Gowan, was born about 1762.
"Isham Going" was married to "Anne Burnes" February
14, 1785, according to "Marriage Bonds of
Bedford County, Virginia, 1755-1800." Benjamin Rice was surety.
Isham Gowen was surety for the marriage of "Betsy Gowing to John
Gowen" December 22, 1795. Anne Burns was a "first cousin to
Robert Burns the Scotch poet," according to the research of Thomas Kindred
Gowen II of Shelbyville, Tennessee.
The ancestry of Robert Burns was researched in parish records by Thomas
S. McRorie, curator of the Robert Burns home located six north of Dumfries,
Dumfriesshire from 1945 to 1961. Robert
Burns died there July 21, 1796 after a five-year residence.
He was born January 25, 1759 at Ayr, Ayrshire to William Burnes
[1721-1784] and Agnes Brown Burnes [1732-1820]. William Burnes was born to Robert Burnes, born about 1691, and
Isabel Keith Burnes whom he married about 1716. Robert Burnes was born about 1679 to James Burnes [1656-1743] and
Margaret Falconer Burnes.
Robert Burnes and Isabel Keith Burns had two other sons who lived to
maturity--James Burnes [1717-1761] and Robert Burnes [1719-1789]. Mildred Evelyn Royal Ayres of Richardson,
Texas, a descendant of James Burns Gowen, suggests that James Burnes
[1717-1761], "Provost of Montrose," may have been the father of the
Burnes sisters who married the Gowen brothers in Bedford County.
"Isham Goin" and "Jeremiah Goin" were sureties for
the marriage of "Nancy Goin" to Henry Vanover August 28, 1795. Isham Gowen was surety for the marriage of
"Elizabeth Gowing to John Gowen [Gower?]" December 22, 1795,
according to "Marriage Bonds of Bedford County,
Virginia, 1755-1780."
"Consent of William Gowing, father of Betsy" was noted.
Apparently Anne Burns Gowen died about 1793. It is believed that Isham Gowen was subsequently remarried,
wife's name Magdalene. He joined his
parents in witnessing a deed in 1796, according to June A. Smith. In July 1796 he was appointed a constable in
Bedford County.
On June 25, 1798 Isham Gowen joined his father in posting a $20 peace
bond for Armister Going with Bedford County Court. The bond was to assure the court that Armister Going would not
injure Katherine Burks who felt threatened by her. Isham Gowen died about 1799.
"Isham Going" received a deed in 1798 from Jeremiah Hilton,
according to Bedford County Deed Book 10, page 481.
On December 23, 1799, "on the motion of Magdalene Going, William
Hunderall & Jesse Leftwich, administration is granted them on the estate of
Isham Going, dec'd who made oath and gave bond," according to "Bedford County, Virginia Court Records."
Book 2, page 40.
The notation "Isham Going, Account Current" appeared in the
Bedford County court records dated in January 1800. William Hudnal and Jesse Leftwich were listed as administrators
on papers returned to court July 27, 1801, according to Bedford County Court
Minute Book 4, page 51.
In the court term of November 1803, "It is ordered that Frazer
Otey, Augustine Leftwich, Michal Graham and Joel Leftwich, or any three, be
appointed to lay off and allot to Magdaline Gowing her 1/3 in her late husband
Isham Gowing's estate," according to "Bedford
County, Virginia Court Records," Book 13, page 58.
She was preparing to remarry "Mr. Burch and had petitioned the
court for her dower rights." The
Gowen step-children were an encumbrance to her, and her marriage might have
been contingent on the disposal of the orphans. The children had no family left in Bedford County to take them
in, all having removed to Madison County, Kentucky.
"Magdaline Going" was back in court in 1812 to secure the
allotment of her dower," according to Bedford County Court Minute Book 4,
page 51. The account was
"settled" in 1820 by Jesse Leftwitch administrator, according to
Court Minute Book 5, page 199.
It is believed that children born to Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen
include:
Elizabeth Gowen born about 1787
William Gowen born about 1789
John Gowen born about 1790
Garrett Gowen born about 1792
Elizabeth Gowen, regarded as a daughter of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns
Gowen, was born about 1787 in Bedford County.
On July 22, 1805, "It is ordered that the Overseer of the Poor
bind Elizabeth Going to Thomas Hudnall and William Going to John B. Witt,
according to law," according to "Bedford
County, Virginia Court Records," Book 2, page 225.
William Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen,
was born about 1789 in Bedford County.
In 1805 he was bound out to John B. Witt.
John Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen, was
born about 1790 in Bedford County.
On September 28, 1801, "Complaint of John Gowen, an apprentice
boy to Samuel Poindexter, his master, for ill treatment. On hearing, it is the opinion of the Court
that the said Samuel Poindexter has violated his contract specified in the
indenture. Whereupon it is ordered that
he be bound by the Overseers of the Poor to Silas Hastings, according to
law," according to "Bedford County, Virginia
Court Records," Book 2, page 201.
Garrett Gowen, regarded as a son of Isham Gowen and Ann Burns Gowen,
was born about 1792 in Bedford County.
On July 2, 1805, "It is ordered that the Overseer of the Poor bind
Garrett Going to William Saunders, according to law," according to "Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,"
Book 2, page 227.

One son was born to Isham Gowen and Anne Burns Gowen, according to June
A. Smith whom she identifies as:
Isham Gowen, Jr. born about 1786
Isham Gowen, Jr, son of Isham Gowen and Anne Burns Gowen, was born in
Bedford County about 1786. "Isham
Going" received a deed from Jeremiah Hilton to land on Island Branch of
Otter Creek January 20, 1796, according to Bedford County deed records.
Jeremiah Goin, son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was
born about 1767. He was married about
1790, wife's name believed to be Armester.
"Isham Goin and Jeremiah Goin," were sureties for the
marriage of their sister, Nancy Going when she was married August 28, 1795 to
Henry Vanover, according to "Marriage Bonds of
Bedford County, Virginia 1755-1800."
In 1798, "Armester Going," regarded as the wife of Jeremiah
Goin, was released on her recognizance by the Bedford County Court in
connection with a charge brought against her.
On June 25, 1798 "Armister Going appeared in discharge of her
recognizance and it appears to the court by oath of Catherine Burks that she is
afraid that the sd. Armester Going will injure her either in her person or
property & the said Armester Going being here present in court, it is
ordered that she give security for her good behavior for the space of one
year. Whereupon the sd. Armester Going
acknowledged herself indebted to his Excellency the Governor in the sum of $20
& Wm. Going, Sr. & Isham Going, her securities in the sum of $10 each
to be levied," according to "Bedford County,
Virginia Court Records," Book 11, page 273.
Jeremiah Goin may have been incapacitated or insolvent at the
time. His father and his older brother
provided the bond for Armester Goin.
It is believed that the stress of providing a living for herself and
her minor children began to take its toll on Armester Goin.
Within 18 months she allowed one of her sons to be "bound
out". On September 23, 1800,
"It is ordered that the Overseers of the Poor bind Christopher Goin, son
of Anister Goin, to Enos Mitchell, according to law," according to "Bedford County, Virginia Court Records,"
Book 12, page 120.
"Jeremiah Goens" was recorded in the 1805 tax list of Madison
County, Kentucky along with his father, "William Goens" and his
brothers, "Micajah Goens, Manoah Goens and Joseph Goens."
"Jeremiah Gowan" was a witness to the will of "James
Gowan," rregarded as his brother, August 15, 1814. He also purchased items at the estate sale.
Children born to Jeremiah Goin and Armester Goin include:
Christopher Goin born about 1791
Another child may have been born to Jeremiah Goin and Armester
Goin--Tatum Goin. It is possible that
the maiden name of Armester Goin was Tatum.
Tatum Goin was born about 1800 to parents unknown. Documentation presently available on the
seven sons of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan reveals the names of
six of their seven daughters-in-law.

Goin, is undocumented. Tatum Goin was married about 1823, wife's name
Matilda.

Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins, Kentucky Union Militia, appeared in "War Department Records" of the Civil War
at Frankfort. Sanford Willoughby Goins
would be 47 years old at that time.
On July 25, 1862 Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins was shown to be in
command of a company of Home Guards responsible to Brig-Gen. G. Clay Smith, U.
S. Army of Operations headquarters at Lebanon, Kentucky, according to "War Department Records," Series I, Volume
16, part 1.
Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins is mentioned in correspondence dated
August 22, 1862 from J. W. Finnell, Frankfort, Kentucky to Maj-Gen. Lew Wallace
at Lexington, Kentucky, according to "War
Department Records," Series I, Volume 52, page 274. J. W. Finnell advises that "Goins is
here, but has no men. There are two
cannon here, but no one to handle them."
In another correspondence, also dated August 22, 1862, Brig-Gen. J. T. Boyle,
Kentucky, advised Gen. Lew Wallace that the "Home Guards are almost
useless--an encumbrance."
Two years later apparently the Home Guards had improved their
efficiency however, because Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins and his men are
cited for commendation. According to "War Department Records" Series I, Volume
39, part 1, page 48, Inspector-General Daniel W. Lindsey of the Kentucky State
Guard, wrote in a report from Frankfort, dated June 18, 1864, "Capt.
Sanford Goin of Frankfort, among others, was commended for his bravery and
handling the guns in the fort."
The report stated that it appeared at that time that Gen. John H.
Morgan, CSA, and his raiders would overrun Frankfort and capture the city. Since it was the state capitol, the Home
Guard and the residents of the city loaded all the public records on a train
and made preparations to move them to a safer place.
"On the morning of the 9th, "Lindsey's report continues"
the train containing the public records with a guard composed of the clerks,
various officers and volunteers from the militia, and some strangers in the
city, all under the command of Mr. J. B. Tilford of the adjutant general's office
started for Louisville. When nearing
Pleasureville the train came under fire.
As the guerillas attacked, the engine was reversed. Despite the fact that the rebels attempted
to block the progress of the engine with rails [logs] the train crew managed
to extricate the train and its cargo although a running fire was kept up for
several miles through the impedimentia.
The train and the guard, all uninjured, returned to the depot about
7:15 p. m. The enrolled militia of this
city, Peak's Mill Precinct, and others parts of the county, had been collecting
during the day. A squad under Captain Sanford
Goin was sent to man the guns in the fort.
Their defense of it would have been creditable to the militia had their
number been sufficient to have lined the parapet from one end to the other, but
I am satisfied that when the first assault was made there were not over 40 men
in the fort."
Col. George W. Monroe, commander, Twenty-second Kentucky Infantry
Regiment reporting on the same engagement stated, "To Capt. Sanford Going,
Sgt. Johnston, Mr. Bayliss of West Point and Mr. J. B. Gibson of Cincinnati, I
am under special obligation for their efficient services in handling the artillery."
Another mention of Capt. Sanford Willoughby Goins is contained in "War Department Records," Series I, Volume
45, Part I page 893 in a directive from J. S. Butler, assistant
adjutant-general, Lexington, Kentucky, dated November 14, 1864. It states:
"To Capt. Sanford Going, State Troops
Versailles, Kentucky.
You will take such a number of horses from the citizens of Versailles
and surrounding country as will enable you to scout the country around
Versailles to protect the area from rebels.
These horses will be well used and returned to the owners when done by
your scouts. Mr. Ward will assist you
in procuring horses. Scout the country
well and keep it clear of guerillas."
Sanford Willoughby Goins died in 1892 and was buried in Frankfort
Cemetery, according to a message dated October 31, 1999 from a descendant, name
unknown.

about 1840 to Rhoda Galena, according to Wayne H. Moore, a descendant of
Frankfort. They were in Boone County,
Indiana in 1855 when a daughter was born.
Wayne H. Moore wrote,
"I think James and Rhoda must have met in Indiana and married
there, since there were no Galenas anywhere in Kentucky, as far as I can
tell. But there were a few in Indiana
and Ohio. In the 1840 census of
Hendricks County, Indiana, there was a James Goings and a Joseph Galena on the
same census page. This could have been
Rhoda's family. James and Rhoda were
back-and-forth between Kentucky and Indiana for much of the time."
Children born to James Goins and Rhoda Galena Goins include:
Josephine Goins born March 4, 1855
Josephine Goins, daughter of James Goins and Rhoda Galena Goins, was

by her parents about 1800. A bond of
£50 was posted January 22, 1808 in Madison County by Thomas Sanders and Joseph
Going, brother of Sally Goan for the marriage of Thomas Sanders and Sally
Goan. "Annaster Goan, widow"
gave her consent and wrote a note to the Madison county clerk on the same date
requesting a marriage license be issued to "Thomas Sanders and my daughter
Sally Goan." The signature of
"Annaster Goan" was witnessed by Joseph Going and his son Francis
Going.
