William GOGGANS was born ca. 1700 in County Cork, Ireland. He immigrated to Virginia in 1718. He married Elizabeth BEAL in Lunenburg Parish, Virginia, in 1729. They had at least four sons. He died in Bromfield Parish, Culpeper County, Virginia, ca. 1766. Descendants lived in Virginia, South Carolina, and elsewhere. I've hit a brick wall at 1700 and before. THe name was spelled as GOGGIN in some early documents but developed into GOGGANS later in Virginia. Any help will be appreciated. Wayne G.
