Daniel Goins, regarded as the son of William Gowan and Anastasia Sullivan Gowan, was born about 1759 in Bedford County, Virginia., according to the research of Karen L. Cooper, a descendant of Fairborn, Ohio.

She wrote:

“In February 1777, Daniel Going enlisted to serve in the Revolutionary War for a period of two years. He served in the company commanded by Capt. Gross Scruggs which was part of the Fifth Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. Josiah Parker. Scruggs’ company was raised in Bedford County, according to “Virginia Soldiers of 1776” by Louis B. Burgess.

Daniel stated in his pension application that he fought in the Battle of Brandywine which took place on Brandywine Creek, in southeastern Pennsylvania September 11, 1777. This skirmish took place at the Old Kennett Meeting House of the Quakers. The building was still standing in April 2000.

On the morning of September 11, British and Hessian troops began marching east along the ‘Great Road’ [now Route 1], advancing on the Colonial troops positioned where the road crossed Brandywine Creek. The first shots of the battle took place at a tavern where the British were repulsed. The British called for reinforcements and ran down the road to take cover behind the stone walls on the Old Kennett Meeting House grounds. The battle was fought at mid-morning around the meeting house while the pacifist Quakers continued to hold their midweek service. One of the Quakers later wrote, ‘While there was much noise and confusion without, all was quiet and peaceful within.’

From the church, the battle continued for three miles to what is now Battlefield Park. Eventually the British pushed the Colonials back, but not before suffering heavy losses.

Daniel Going also mentions the Battle of Germantown [suburb of Philadelphia] fought on October 4, 1777 in his pension application. At that time, the Fifth Virginia, serving under Gen. George Washington, went into winter quarters at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Daniel Going was discharged there after one year of service.”

Daniel Going returned to Bedford County. “Daniel Going, white male over 21,” first appeared as a taxpayer in Bedford County in 1783, paying a tax on “1 horse and 3 cows.”

Daniel Gowen was married about 1783, wife’s name believed to be “Ann.” Karen L. Cooper suggests that her maiden name was “Preston” and that she was born about 1757 “Dan: Gowing” and “Mrs. Ann Gowen” were purchasers at an estate sale October 10, 1783 in Bedford County.

About 1785, William Gowan made a declaration to the Bedford County Court that he had lost an Auditor’s Warrant which had belonged to Daniel Going. The bankrupt Continental Congress was not financially able to pay the Revolutionary soldiers at the end of the war and issued Auditor’s Warrants as promissory notes for future payment. The various states faced financial difficulties as well.

His declaration, recorded in Court Minutes Book 8, page 78, read:

“Bedford County

Virginia Court Records

William Gowing came into court and made oath that he had an Auditor’s Warrant for £4:16s and some odd pence which did belong to Daniel Gowing and he lost the same. That he has not directly or indirectly received any satisfaction for the same which is ordered to be certified to the Auditors of Pub. Accts. Memo Bond given with Wm. Hand [his fee] in Pen[alty?] of £9:12:0”

On February 6, 1787, William Gowan returned to court to repeat his affidavit and to renew the bond:

“William Gowing came into court and made oath that he had an Auditor’s Warrant for £4:16s and some odd pence for the services of Daniel Gowing from the Auditor of Public Accounts bearing date of 3d Dec. 1782 and that he lost the same. That he has not directly or indirectly received any satisfaction for the same which is ordered to be certified etc . . . Memo bond given in the penalty of £9:12:0”

In 1786 Daniel Going was recorded as a “white male over 21” with “2 horses and 3 cows.”

On May 7, 1787 “Daniel Going, white male over 21” was assessed taxes on “2 horses.” On April 29, 1788 “Daniel Gowin” was assessed as “1 white male over 21.” On May 30, 1789 “Daniel Gowin” was assessed on “1 white male over 21” by William Pate. On July 3, 1790, Pate assessed “Daniel Goin” on “1 poll.” On April 25, 1791, Matthew Pate assessed “Daniel Goin” on “1 poll.” “Daniel Gowin” was assessed taxes July 10, 1792.

On May 28, 1793, “Daniel Gowin, 1 poll” and “Isham Gowin, 1 poll” appeared on the Bedford County tax rolls.

“Daniel Gowing” was assessed June 20, 1794, and “Daniel Goen” was assessed April 4, 1795. “Daniel Gowin” was assessed March 21, 1796, and “Daniel Gowen” was assessed on “1 tithe” on April 8, 1797.

“Daniel Going” was one of the men who posted bond when items were sold from the estate of Maryann Franklin in Bedford County November 22, 1794. The bond was "examined by the Bedford County Court September 19, 1797 and returned July 23, 1798," suggesting that Daniel Going remained there at that time.

“Daniel Going” was assessed on “2 tithes, for self and son, Isham” August 21, 1802. On August 20, 1803 “Daniel Going” was assessed on “1 tithe.” “Isham Going” having married, was assessed separately.

On August 13, 1804, “Daniel Going” was assessed on “2 tithes and 2 horses.” “Isham Going” was again living with his father. In 1805, the last year that “Daniel Going” was assessed in Bedford County, he was taxed on “1 tithe and 1 horse.” Isham Goins had already removed to Claiborne County, Tennessee. Later that year Daniel Going joined his son in western Claiborne County.

About 1805, Daniel Goins joined his son, Isham Goins in removing to Claiborne County, Tennessee. In the following year, Campbell County, Tennessee was formed from Claiborne County and Anderson County, and the Goins families found themselves in the new county. In 1817 Daniel Goins lived near Jellico, Tennessee in Campbell County.

On June 3, 1818, Daniel Going made an affidavit in Campbell County Court asking for a pension based on his Revolutionary service. The earliest general pension act for Revolutionary service was enacted by Congress May 18, 1818.

Daniel Goins applied for a Revolutionary pension June 3, 1818 in Campbell County, Tennessee at “age 60."

“Pension No. S-38744:

Congress enacted a second pension act May 1, 1820 requiring that the veterans to show that they were needy before a pension was to be granted. On December 4, 1820, to retain his pension, Daniel Going made another statement before the court regarding his military service and his financial condition. Many veterans were known to have minimized their financial position to make certain of receiving the pension to which they felt entitled by their service. It is believed that Daniel Going did not have to exaggerate. His affidavit read:

In 1822 Daniel Going was a witness to a deed in which Canada Bratcher, Jr, brother-in-law of Isham Going, conveyed land to Isham Goins.

A "white male, 60-70," regarded as Daniel Goins, appeared in the 1830 census of the household his son, Isham Goins in adjoining Claiborne County, Tennessee.

He reappeared in the household in the 1840 census of Claiborne County as a "white male, 70-80." Daniel Goins died August 22, 1838.

Jeri Webb, San Clemente, California discovered and transcribed an entry which was recorded in the Campbell County court minutes March 4, 1839:

"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 eight hundred 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.”

One child was born to Daniel Goins:

Isham Goins born about 1786

Isham Goins, son of Daniel Goins was born about 1786 in Bedford County, Virginia. He was married there , at age 16, November 15, 1802 to Susannah "Sookie" Bratcher who was born there about 1787 to Canada Bratcher and Rachel "Biddy" Robinson Bratcher, according to the research of Col. James Young of McAlester, Oklahoma. Canada Bratcher was born to Charles Bratcher and Nancy Bratcher in Bedford County, Virginia in 1760.

June A. Smith, Foundation Editorial Boardmember of Bremerton, Washington reports that Canada Bratcher was one of the securities on their marriage bond, "No. 7266, part 2."

In 1817, Isham Goins lived at Jellico, Tennessee in Campbell County. He appeared in the 1818 and 1823 tax lists of Campbell County. The household of "Isham Goin" was enumerated in the 1830 census of Campbell County, page 226 as:

"B. F. Goin for many years well known resident living six miles north east of Warrensburg, Missouri, and who went West a few years ago, died October 26, 1913, at his late home three miles south of Salem, Oregon, 20 and Lee streets.

He took an active part in Sunday school work and attended church services and was a firm believer in the Truth and that "Ye must be born again." He bore his afflictions with Christian fortitude. He replied once to a friend "I am just waiting. What a great thing rest is." His last days were spent in prayer.

The family, consisting of two sons, two daughters and three grandchildren, moved to Salem, Oregon, the latter part of July, 1911 in covered wagons.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Marshall of Salem, pastor of the First Baptist Church, at the undertaker's parlors, the text being John 14.
