Annie 28, born in TN
Chesley P. 11, born in TN

Ibbie 6, born in TN

They removed to adjoining Knox County, Tennessee about 1885. It was there that Anna Idol Goins filed for a divorce from Timothy N. Goins. Lynn Rockcastle wrote, “Apparently Timothy was a wanderer and would leave Annie with the kids to support. He took off to be with another woman.”
Lynn Rockcastle wrote July 29, 2001:
“Pleasant Goin, born c1808 had a son named Timothy Goin, born c1845. Timothy is with Pleasant up to the 1860 Claiborne County, Tennessee census. Sometime after 1860, Timothy, being of age, left home-- but where was he? He wasn't in Tennessee. The name Timothy was not very usual back then, but he still is not showing up anywhere for the 1870 census.
The only Timothy Goin[s] I found for that year was in Patrick County, Virginia. Timothy is listed as mulatto living [married?] with a black woman:
“Goin, Timothy, mulatto
Martha, mulatto
Cornelia, 8, mulatto
Laura, 3, mulatto
Martha 3/12, white”
I did find my Timothy in 1880. He was with the known wife Anna Idol in Union County, Tennessee. Then I lose him again. I believe my Timothy is Pleasant's son Timothy. On the Claiborne County web site, there is a death date for Timothy of 1864. I can't find anything to substantiate this death date.”

William Gowens was enumerated the 1860 census as the head of a household composed of him alone as Household 435-435. He was shown at "age 70, born in North Carolina."
In 1781 the British were overrunning the Carolinas. Washington County volunteers had long been involved in protecting the south, and now they participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain, what has since been looked upon as a major turning point in the Revolutionary War. Among the volunteers in the campaign were six men who had been purchasers at the first sale of lots in Jonesborough: Nathaniel Evans, Charles, Holloway, David Hughes, Robert Sevier, Christopher Taylor, and Jesse Walton. Robert Sevier, brother of Col. John Sevier, was mortally wounded in the battle and never had a chance to claim his property in the town of Jonesborough.
According to the 1834 “Tennessee Gazetteer,” in 1833 Jonesborough "contained a population of about 500 inhabitants; eleven lawyers, four physicians, two clergymen, two churches, two academies, four schools, one printing office, four carpenters, three cabinet makers, two bricklayers, one blacksmith, four taverns, two hatters, four tailors, four shoemakers, one silversmith, two wagonmakers and one mill."
The town experienced a boom during the early 1840s when many of the existing Federal style brick structures were built.
The first local post office was established in 1796 with John Waddell as postmaster. Around 1800 a post route was started and mail was carried by horseback twice a week. Increasing demands of passenger travel and mail delivery resulted in more stage lines which increased from once a week in 1825 to three times a week in 1834.
Jonesborough is the oldest town in Tennessee, established in 1779 by the General Assembly of North Carolina as county seat of Washington County, first county west of the mountains. In 1784 the State of Franklin was organized here, with Jonesborough as its first capital.
In 1775 the settlers on both the Watauga and Nolichucky Rivers purchased great acreages of land from the Cherokee Indians, comprising almost all the six upper counties of the present Tennessee [then within North Carolina]. Desiring their own government, these settlers petitioned the Provincial Council of North Carolina to be annexed as an official entity. In 1777 the "County of Washington" was formed.
The first meeting to decide the location of the new courthouse was at the home of Charles Robertson, and it was decided that John Carter, Andrew Greer, William Cobb, Jacob Womack, George Russell, John Sevier and James Stuart would lay out the plans and location of the new courthouse.
One hundred acres was purchased from David Hughes and laid out into lots for the Town of Jonesborough, named after Willie Jones of Halifax, North Carolina. The lots were offered in lottery.
