I would like to share with anyone who has done research on the GOINGS family living in Hardy Co. WVA (Moorefield area) in the early 1800’s. Seems there were several brothers and/or cousins: Jonas b. abt 1789, Michael b. abt 1792, Shadrack b. abt.1796, Baldwin (Balderman) b. abt 1801, Thomas and Joseph. There were also daughters Caroline b. abt 1818-1820, Amelia and Emaline . The later two married Baldwin boys. Father(s) to this brood were probably Henry Goings m. Lucy Blackwell in Shenandoah Co. Feb 28, 1792 and/or John Goings b. Sept 24, 1774 who married Hannah Shears in Hardy Co. in 1797. My gr-gr-grandfather was Jonas, and he married Temperance Scott Howey in Hardy Co in 1817. Temperance’s father was James Howey and her brothers were James Maxwell Howey and William Howey, all from Hardy Co. (Moorefield). I have more questions but also lots to share. I guess my primary question is - can someone help me sort out what children belong to which union . Henry Goings or John Goings? (as detailed in my first paragraph). Thanks lots. Annette
