Stephen P. Goen was the son of William Goen (Goins), b. 1771 in NC, who lived in Hawkins Co., TN, before following his children to Jackson Co., IN. William's wife's name is said by one researcher to be Mary Frances ____. We are indebted to Grandmother, Erie Catharine Taylor Wilks, for recording stories about the Goen/Goins and other ancestors in the 1850s (though the Goen and Stephens families were a little confused) ~~ published in 1971. She thought the name of Elizabeth Goen's father as Lish (Elisha); but his name was Stephen P. Goen, and Lish was his brother, who stayed in Indiana.

Doris Nan Ross Brock, THE ERIE CATHERINE TAYLOR - WILLIAM WESLEY WILKS FAMILY. Cleveland, OH, 1971, an excerpt: 

 Their granddaughter Erie Catharine Taylor Wilks, daughter of Elizabeth Goen and Arrena Stephens, wrote abt 1950, "Arrena (Stephens) Goen was of Scotch and French descent. Her father was born in Connecticut and raised near Toronto, Canada. He was called a French Canadian. He never seemed to speak English plainly, but always with a brogue to his speech . . ."

Speaking of her grandfather Goen, Erie wrote: " . . . he had a favorite sister older than himself and her father was mean to her [this was in Tennessee]. He felt sorry for her, her so beautiful and humble. So one day he learned that one of their friends was loaded ready to move to Indiana. He asked them if his sister could go along with them. They told him if he would wait til they got out of the neighborhood that they would wait at a certain place for them to catch up with them and take her along. He saddled his horse that night, and took his sister up behind him and rode all night to catch them. He left his sister with them and got back home before his father missed them.

"Several years after that, desiring to see his sister, he went afoot to visit her. It took him many days to make the trip on foot from Tennessee to Indiana. After arriving there, though, he stayed several weeks, then walked back home. But while there he met and fell in love with Miss Arrena Stephens. When he returned home one of Miss Arrena's brothers went with him to see Tennessee. [Grandpa] could not forget the lovely girl that he had met in Indiana so he decided to return for a visit with her. So he and her brother, Dave Stephens, walked back up there to see her, making the third time he had walked from Tennessee to Indiana.

"One night while they lay sleeping the stars began to fall. It scared them, but watching they did not know what to do or what to think. They thought maybe the world was coming to an end, but after the stars fell for a while they stopped so they lay down and slept again. Everything seemed the same next morning and when night came again there were as many stars as ever.

"Again after he had been up in Indiana a few weeks, Lish decided he would go home again, but he wanted to see the beautiful girl before going away. He went to town and bought a large white silk handkerchief as a parting gift to the lovely girl. But after he got to her house and talked a while he decided he could not live without her. So he asked her to marry him. She accepted and in a few weeks they were married.

"He went a few miles from her home, and bought a tract of land, and started improving it. He first cut logs and built a lean-to, which is a house long and narrow with the roof sloping one way, and the front side is open. They hung curtains over the front to keep out the cold and rain. It faced the south. They had a fireplace in one end. His wife made a lot of fine linen towels, sheets, and pillow cases, and table cloths, and some counterpanes or coverlets as they were called. They had two beds up in their lean-to. They lived very happily there for a year or two, then they built a two-story log house. They lived on the north bank of the Ohio River, carried water from a spring on the first bank. The house was on the second bank. They lived between Evansville and Owensville, and when that railroad was built along there Grandpa boarded the railroad hands. He and his boys worked on it. About the yar 1855 he sold out, loaded his wagons, and came to Texas. He settled in Grayson County."

The Goen and Stephens families moved together to Grayson Co., TX, from Jackson Co., IN. Stephen P. Goen and his wife Arrena's family came in 1855. There they became acquainted with Tarleton J. Taylor and his wife, Catharine Botkin, living in the Kentucky Town community in the Trinity River bottom.

Stephen and Arrena had eight children. The youngest was a daughter Amanda who died at age two before they left Indiana. Two sons, Jonathan and John, died in Grayson Co., TX, of typhoid fever, as many people were sick. Ferdinando San Francisco Taylor (son of Tarleton J.) helped dig the grave for Jonathan, with another 18 yr. old boy. F. S. married Elizabeth Goen, his brother R. L. married Elizabeth's 1st cousin, Marie Thomas, whose mother Angeline Stephens was a sister of Arrena Stephens.

By 1860 the Stephens, Goen, and Taylor families had moved to Gainesville area of Cooke Co., TX, a healthier place. That is where F. S. Taylor and Elizabeth Goen married 12 Dec 1867.

In 1869, they had all moved to Bell Co., TX.

They sold the 40-acre land entry of 1839, with "an indenture made 26 Jan 1839, STEPHEN P. GOEN and ARRENA his wife of the County of Jackson and State of Indiana of one part and Alvin Lindley of same state of the other part, for and in consideration of $25 current money of the United States to them in hand paid before the unsealing or delivery of these present . . . a certain tract or parcel of land sold 40 acres, the S.E. corner of N.W. 1/4 of Sect. 33, Twp. 6, Range 3 East . . . STEPHEN P. GOEN [a large circular period after P.] signed his name, but Arrena's mark was written by the clerk as 'ARRENA [her mark] POGOIN.' The clerk apparently misread the period as "o."

This copying error was repeated in the next line, an affidavit, "Be it remembered that the within named STEPHEN POGOIN and ARRENA his wife came this day personally before me a Justice of the Peace . . ." (Recorded in Jackson Co. Deed Book I, p. 36).

The 1840 census of Jackson Co., IN, enumerated Stephen Gowens, with one male 20-30, one female under 5, one female 20-30; between the households of Avraim Weddell (40-50) and William Gowens (20-30).

In the next census taken 8 Aug 1850 in Carr Twp., Jackson Co., they were enumerated in hh 40-42 as Stephen P. Goen 40 NC, Arrena 33 W. Canada (can't read or write), Caroline 11 and all children b. IN, Elizabeth 9, Arrena 8, David N. 6, Jonathan L. 4, Rufus 3, Amanda 5/12.

The previous hh 39-41 was William Thomas TN, Angeline [Stephens] 19 IN, Lucretia 18 TN, Lydia J. 9/12 IN; Richard Lens 13 TN.

In hh 41-43 was Arrena and Angeline's brother, David N. Stephens 26 farmer IN, Lydia 23 IN, Sarah E. 1 IN.

When moving to Texas 1855-1856, Stephen P. Goen and wife Arrena sold the 80 acre tract in Sect. 18, Twp. 4, Range 3 to his brother-in-law, James Johnson on 24 Jul 1856 in Jackson Co., (Deed Book Q, p. 159).

They were next enumerated 6 Jul 1860 in Gainesville P.O., Cooke Co., TX, in hh 329-337 as Stephen P. Goin 50 farmer $480-$100 VA, Arrena 42 Canada, Caroline 21 IN, Elizabeth 20 IN, Anna 18 IN, David N. 15 IN, Jonathan S. 14 IN, Rufus R. 12 IN, John A. 8 IN, Arrena Brooks 2 IN; pp. 243, 261.

Who was this family: 17 Jul 1860, p. 251 in hh 446-456, as J. A. Gown 43 farmer $400-$295 TN, Catherine M. 37 TN, Mary A. 14 TX, Stephen 11 TX, James V. 6 TX, Eliza R. 3 TX?

On the census taken 8 Jun 1880, Stephen was enumerated in Pct. 6, Bell Co., TX, in hh 101-102 as Stephen P. Goen 70 widower farmer NC-NC-NC, son Rufus K. 33 farmer IN-NC-Canada.

Since we have not found the family on the 1870 census, we know only that Arrena was alive on 6 Jul 1860 but deceased by 8 Jun 1880.

From 1780 through the 1830s, many Melungeon families acquired land in the Newman's Ridge area. In the Hawkins Co., TN, Register's Office can be found the names of those who purchased land in the Walter Sims survey on both sides of the Clinch River, including part of Newman's Ridge and Buffalo Creek. Among those names are William Bowlin, Elisha Goin, Haston Goin, Benjamin Bunch, Jessee Goodman, Elijah Goins, George Goen, Jordan Gibson, Crispin Goan, James Mullins, James Collins, Andrew Gibson, Zachariah Minor, William Goodman, John Collins, Wyatt Collins, James Moore, and Solomon D. Collins.

It's hard to trace Melungeons because many Jews in Europe did not choose surnames until Napleanic laws required it. A speaker at a lineal society I belong to said, 3-4 months ago, that the first Jewish congregation in America was in Rhode Island; the second was in New York City, and the third was at Savannah, GA, in the 1600s. I'm not knowledgeable enough about how to research Jewish history or congregations, etc.

The first Melungeon inhabitants of the Newman's Ridge area were Vardy Collins and Shepherd Gibson. In 1780, John Wolf received a land certificate from the state of North Carolina which he assigned to Vardemon Collins. In 1784, Henry Grimes received a similar certificate which he assigned to Shepherd Gibson. In 1796, another certificate was assigned to Vardemon Collins from Elisha Neilson. Gibson obtained his first land grant from Tennessee in 1814; Collins in 1816. By this time, other Melungeon families were living in the area. If you aren't familiar with the term Melungeon, they were people of Mediterranean descent who came to America very early to escape persecution for their Jewish lineage, when the Spanish Inquisition started 1492, many having left Spain for Portugal, where the Inquisition followed them 50 years later. Many Melungeons believed themselves to be Portuguese; some may be part Indian. They preferred to live among their own people and often adopted surnames later.

A Grimes descendant has DNA which matches Goen descendants known to be kin to ours descends from Travis Graham/Grimes born abt 1765, living in Orange (now Caswell Co.), NC.

 Known immigrants of the name were:

* Robert Gowen arrived in MA 1634.
* Thomas Gowens arrived in VA 7 Aug 1635, took oath of allegiance at Gravesend, England (so was NOT English and more likely Irish).
* Thomas Going came to MD, 1671, had a land patent.
* Nicholas Gowen, son of William Alexander Gowen and Elizabeth Frost Gowen, was b. in Kittery, ME, 1667, the namesake of his grandfather Nicholas Gowen.
* Mihal Gowen, a slave of Christopher Stafford of York Co., VA, was given his freedom 16 Sep 1657 in two declarations to Stafford's sister Ann Barnhouse, recorded in York Co. deeds.
* Gowin, an Indian servant, was ordered by the Virginia Colony Court on 8 Oct 1670 to serve his master six years longer and then be set free.
* Philip Gowen, negro, suing Mr. Jno. Lucas for his freedom, Jun 1675, Warwick Co., VA.

 Goin and Variants: Thomas of Claiborne Co., TN, p. ii, citing Gowan Foundation Newsletter, Sep-Oct 1989

William Goen (1771 NC-ca 1855 Jackson Co., IN) is now believed to be the son of Thomas Goin who d. in Claiborne Co., TN, and wife Rebecca Clark. William had one brother, Levi, b. Washington Co., NC.
