Goins Book, Author Cynthia Goins Hoelescher

Cynthia Goins Hoelescher, an author, historian and descendant of the Murchison/Goins family. Cyndie will share details of her familial ties and her upcoming chapter of the Goins Book. Her lines are from Pocket Creek, North Carolina. These include Daniel Goins (1824-1907) who married Margaret Goins (1839-1891) and descendents. Rebecca Goins (1829-1921) who married Benjamin Goins. Margaret Goins was the daughter of William and Kissiah Sinclair Goins whose lines left Moore County after the Civil War. William and Kissiah died in Indiana, but their children may be found in Kentucky, Missouri and one child took the Oregon Trail and settled in Pitt, Oregon. Daniel and Rebecca Goins are children of Leah Goins (1790-1864). Leah had at least one other son, John Goins who immigrated to Texas in the 1850's shortly before Leah's brother, William Goyens, Jr died in Nacogdoches, Texas. Also from Pocket Creek, Moore County, NC are the Rosewood Massacre ancestor Goinses, Ed, Martin and Lucien Goins who learned turpentine distillery from the Murchison plantation owners (thought to be the White contributors to these illegitimate children of Leah Goins). Leah and her daughter Rebecca Goins were labeled as Croatan Indians in vital records of Moore County, NC and their descendents have been elected Lumbee council members.
