• DR Thomas Goings

• We know from Patsy Martin b. 1835 affidavit in the Jeremiah Goins enrollment case:

1. James Goins and wife and Gip Goins and wife and children (presumable both had children) migrated from Mississippi to Kiamishi (sp) River near Old Doaksville/Doak's trading stand.  When Patsy was a small girl ca. 7 yrs old, ap. 1842? (best estimate)
2. James and Gip and Patsy Crowder (brothers & sister) were first cousins to Jeremiah Goins.
3. Jerry or Jeremiah Goins came from Texas to visit James and Gip Goins.
4. James and Gip Goins died and are buried near Mayhew in Choctaw Country.
5. Other affidavit's in same case, testified Philip Goins was Jeremiah's father and Stephen Goins was his grandfather.
6. Therefore we know Philip Goins was first cousin to..Patsy Goins Crowder and James and Gip Goins'  Father.                                                
7. We can assume from the following ..James, Gip and Martha Patsy were the children of  DR Thomas Goings owner of Dean's Stand (later known as Dillion's Stand) and all would have been the grandchildren of Stephen Goins.

James m. unknown

Philip Goins m 1Oti Montro 1. Keziah Ash/Nash

Stephen Goins m. Unknown    Possibly Stephen was the son of Shadrack Goings

Gip m Unknown Could be named for Gibson Johnso f/o Nancy Johnson

• Reasons Why I think Dr Thomas Goings was the father of James, Gip & Patsy.  And my notes on Nancy Johnson in Texas, and a will and probate found of John Goins  (thought to have been and reported in Herbert's book as Thomas Goins).  Please also see Nancy Johnson (formally Kelly) who petitioned to stay in this country, claim was denied. Sam Houston personally gave her 6 leagues and labors after the TX Revolution. Here is where we find connections to William Goyens of Nacagdoches who has a full page of new discoveries all his own to our families....notes will be up soon.

Along the old Natchez Trace there grew up places to rest and possibly buy provisions. The common term for these hostelries came to be stands.  As early as 1733 the French were familiar enough with the land to make a map that showed an Indian trail running from Natchez to the northeast. By 1785 American settlers in the Ohio River Valley had established farms and in a search for markets had begun floating their crops and products down the rivers to Natchez or New Orleans. Returning home meant either riding or walking, for the flatboats, too, were sold for their lumber, and the trail from Natchez was the most direct. As the numbers of boatmen grew, the crude trail was tramped into a clearly marked path. Prior to 1820 there had been as many as 50 of these stands established along the route of this national road between

2. French Camp or LeFluer's Stand, Duke Family have associations to the Goins which should be further researched.  the LeFluer family has also been associated with the Goins.

7. My Notes and Question: Billy, I would also make note of Thomas Collins property near James Crowder's property.  Thomas Collins could be one of my Grandfathers and or some close realationship to the Goins.  My GGrandfathers name was Wm 'Collins' Goins.  The Collins are rumored to have migrated from Tennesse with these Goins.
8.  
9. Brashear's Stand, This inn was advertised as "a house of entertainment in the wilderness" to travelers in 1806. A portion of the original trace is nearby.  Dr. Turner Brashears, Sr., known as Brashears and wife both came to Indian Territory from Mississippi. Turner Brashears has ties through the Perkins Families. Turner Turnbull (s/o George Turnbull & Sarah Brashears)  m. Angelico 'Jerico' Perkins b. abt 1826 Opelousas, St Landry Parish, La. Daughter of Nicholas Perkins and sister of Cader Perkins b. 1827 d. 1903 in Angelina Co., Tx.  later operated Brashear's stand. Turner B. Turnbull was a white missionary to the Choctaw Indians and was referred to as Dr. Turnbull. Whether he was a doctor of medicine or divinity was not known by any of the present living relatives. He was born April 6, 1816, of Scotch parentage, died December 2, 1877. He was buried in the Turnbull family cemetery, Mount Pleasant Community 9 miles east of what is now Caddo, Oklahoma. He was married about 1840 or 1841 to Jerico Perkins, she was said to be full-blood Choctaw Indian.   David Perkins a brother to Jerico Perkins Turnbull and Jerico Turnbull settled near Boggy Mtn. Mayhew Oklahoma.  Both were prominent in that community. Jerico lived sixteen years after Brashears died. In the 1885 Choctaw Census she is shown as a head of house with a considerable amount of land under cultivation and quite a few head of cattle, horses and pigs. It was stated she moved closer to Turner Jr. at some point so he could help her take care of her place and the orphaned grandchildren she took in when the need had arisen.
10. Doak's Stand, and Doak's Treaty with the Choctaw's 1820.  'Mingoes, Chiefs and Head Men of the Choctaw Nation' Signers of the Treaty at Doak's Stand.

	Carney Jeremiah Carney, some of the older Stand maps show Carney's Stand.  A full blooded Choctaw who at all times had an interpreter with him to conduct business. Carneys (and various spellings are related through the Taylor Family of East Tx.  Research of the superior court records, Jeremiah Carney vs William Taylor 1811 reveal an intriguing tail of Carney turning over all his property to his 'White son in law William Taylor because he feared the approaching whitemen would take his land from him.  He understood that an Indian was unable to own property according to whiteman laws'. Carney claimed his son in law (and daughter and grandchildren)  removed to The Republic of Texas and he desired his property back.  He did win, however he had passed away before the case was settled. Carney's heirs lost the land at removal.  One of William Carney's daughters married Samuel Gibson who settled Port Gibson.  Wm Carney paid for the education of all of his grandson's sending them to private boarding schools.

• Association between Stand Owners
  •  DR Thomas Goings, Turner Brashear's Stand (later inherited by Turner Turnbull), Jeremiah Carney's Stand, Duke Family/French Camp, Eli Crowder's Stand and Port Gibson are all related to one another through family ties.
  • Ward and Capt Colbert's family are also mentioned later in documents concerning some of our families.  
  •  The 'Gaines' family who played a large roll in constructing the NT follow the migrational pattern of other family members into La and then into Nacagdoches, Texas. Edmund P and James Gaines brothers did sign some of the documents in William Goyens probate records. My understanding is, they always went by Gaines.
