OUR FOLKS by Maron Summer Eve P. 3 WILLIAM GOGGANS1 of Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County, Commonwealth of Virginia was recorded in an Indenture made October 18, 1750 (300 acres) Culpeper County Deed Book A 1749-1753; also another Indenture was made February 21, 1766 together with his wife, ELIZABETH, in Parish of Bromfield County of Culpeper (the same 300 acres were sold). A seeming advantage took place in which WILLIAM GOGGANS moved his family out on wheels when the dissension commenced in the Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County, Virginia. On the other hand, new frontiers were opened in Culpeper County in 1749 where the grass was greener for the cattle, perhaps. James Goggans was first found in the Transcripts of State Papers relating to Ireland and last found Alexandria, Virginia, opposite the District of Columbia; however, no record of family indicated. According to the T.S.P.I. Jas. & WM. GOGGINS came to Virginia together in 1718. WM. married 1729 in Va., a family man with a family and Jas.' affairs in order, however, no family was ever found for him.3 ---------- Wills of Richmond County, Virginia. 1699-1800 page 82.

Page 296, T.S.P.I. transcripts of State Papers relating to Ireland, Page 305. American Passenger Lists 1804-06 GOGGINS, (Sp?), JAS. and WM. T.S.P.I. 1718. WILLIAM was first found in Parish of Lunenburg, Richmond County, Virginia. His wife was ELIZABETH and current research reveals children: Daniel, George, William and James Goggans, all born in Virginia. We do not believe there were other sons, however, there may be other daughters that married and have not been found in research. James and WILLIAM GOGGANS both came to Virginia in 1718. 4This Indenture, made February 21, 1766, between WILLIAM GOGGANS of Parish of Bromfield and Culpepper County and ELIZABETH his wife of the one part and Benjamin Gaines of Parish and County aforesaid. Forty Pounds current money 300 acres...and at a court held for said county on Thursday, Aug. 21, 1766. The said indenture with the memorandum of Livery of Seisen and Receipt Endorsed were fully proved by the oath of Peter Stein berger, Richard Gaines and John Campbell witness thereto and ordered to be recorded. (See later: typed copy of Indenture dated Feb. 21. 1766.) p 7 5Presently it is resolved that WILLIAM GOGGANS' wife was ELIZABETH BEAL. The Beals were in the "Upper Church" congregation in Lunenburg Parish, Richmond County. WILLIAM was first found in this body politic. 6No further records or information found in Virginia or South Carolina on WILLIAM GOGGANS and his wife ELIZABETH. Land sold in 1766 possesses some degree of probability that they intended to make the move with the family via Wagon Train to South Carolina. From the foreseeing care and guardianship of God over his people, faithful unto death gave them a crown of life in Virginia. p. xxviii t. - Transcript: T.S.P.I. - Transcripts of State Papers Relating to Ireland.
