Leah was born c.a. 1790 in North Carolina or Virginia. Most census records have her born in North Carolina, but one census record lists her son, Daniel as stating his mother was born in Virginia. So there are several possibilities there. Leah's father, William Goings, states that he was born c.a. 1749 in Virginia, according to his Revolutionary war pension papers. William Goings is the son of John Harmon and Elizabeth Goings. We have not been able to trace either of these ancestors. Elizabeth may have been born around 1735. I believe there is some connection with your Daniel Goings line, but I have not been able to trace Elizabeth yet because woman are so poorly documented in the colonial records. Thanks, Cyndie
