descendants

or
Joseph Goswick, Sr.

I do not know how accurate this information is as it was supplied by Jeff Gossett of Catawba S.C. and he had found it in some old writings by "Holcomb", as to the children of Joseph Goswick of Union Co.S.C.  I have added the birth date of Joseph Goswick and other children that appear to belong to this Joseph Goswick of Franklin Co. N.C., and Union Co.S.C. {kgk}


Information from Jeff Gossett:



Estate Papers box 35, pk 15, year 1853 Union Co. South Carolina. Joseph Goswick names children: Catherine (wife of Aaron Nix), Nancy (wife of James Johnson), Elizabeth (wife of Stuart Taylor), and daughter Violets children who intermarried with Thomas Goswick's children.  All lived out of state except for son Josephus Goswick.

By 1830 Matthias is in Hall Co.Georgia and listed as Matthias GOSWICK, and James Gossett b.1806 is living nearby.  This Matthias Goswick and James Gossett b.ca. 1806 appear to live near each other until 1850 when James Gossett and his wife Keziah (Reed) Gossett move to Alabama and Matthias Goswick remains in Georgia.  I do not have any proof that this James Gossett b.ca.1806 is the younger brother of Matthias Goswick, but I strongly suspect that they are brothers. {kgk}.

Josephus Goswick/Gossett (b.ca.1797) remains in Union Co.S.C. and was one of the members of the Padgett Creek Baptist Church, along with Thomas and Thomas's son George Goswick who married "Jane" (dau of Violet).  By 1860 George and Jane Goswick are living in Logan Co. Kentucky and this family remains in Logan Co.Ky..  Thomas Goswick (father of George) had married the 2nd time in Union Co.S.C. a woman named Elizabeth Arena Pruitt b. 1810 and she may have been the daughter of Aaron Pruitt who is also living in Union Co.S.C..(see Thomas Goswick b.1795)
