2. JOHN2 GOINS (ALEXANDER1) was born Abt. 1833. He married LUCINDA SEXTON Bef. 1859 in
Hancock Co, TN?, daughter of SOLOMON SEXTON and SUSAN MOORE. She was born Abt. 1840 in VA or
KY.
Notes
for JOHN GOINS:
This apparently is not the same person
as "Hammer John" Goins, as other researchers have speculated.
John was a Civil War veteran, serving in
the 1 TN CAV REG (Co A), along with his brother, Alfred.
He may be the same John Goins Sr. that
was listed as "U.S. Soldier" in the 1890 Lee Co., VA Veterans
Census.
Notes
for LUCINDA SEXTON:
On the 1870 Hancock Co, TN Census,
Lucinda lists her birthplace as VA, but in the 1880 Census, she lists her
birthplace as KY, and her parents' birthplace as VA.

Notes
for WILLIAM GOINS:
May be the same William Goins who was
living with his wife Amanda as newlyweds in the 1880 Hancock Co, TN
Census.
Notes
for AMANDA HIX:
In the Rev. Arthur Taylor's list of
marriages, Amanda's surname was spelled "Hix" but it may have been
"Hicks".

Notes
for ALFRED GOINS:
Alfred was a Civil War vet,
serving in the First Tennessee Cavalry Regiment, (Co M and A), alongside his
brother John. Also serving was a R.J. Goins. I'm not sure of the relationship if
any to R.J. Goins. Alfred suffered from health problems caused by his service,
including chronic diarhea and lung problems according to the 1890 Veterans
Census of Hancock Co.
After Hannah's death, Alfred
married Melvina Johnson Mullins, who he had known since she was a young girl.
They lived on Newmans Ridge where Goins Chapel now sits. It is said that the
cemetary there (where both Alfred and Viney are buried) started out as their
family graveyard. This may have
been the land that Alfred bought from John and Mahala Mullins, who lived not too
far from this area.
Alfred's death date was
recorded by the Rev. Arthur Taylor in the Grohse papers.

v. JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD GOINS, b.
May 22, 1888, Hancock Co, TN; d. March 15, 1917.
Notes
for JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD GOINS:
One source, I believe the Will
Grohse Papers, says that Garfield died unmarried in 1917, but I found this in an
email from Arlee Gowen, Pres. of the Gowen Foundation, to the Rootsweb Melungeon
email list;
"James A. Garfield Goins" and his wife Marjorie Goings
were
living in Redfield, Arkansas in January, 1989,
according to Louise Goins Richardson of Paragould,
Arkansas who corresponded with them. James A. Garfield
Goins
died in Redfield in March 1989.
I don't know which source is right, but
he would have been over 100 yrs old if he was living in
1989.
