Goins/Goings Family Floyd County West Virginia

Goins/Goings Family Floyd County West Virginia

Hoping someone may be able to help me...I'm at a dead-end.

I'm researching the Goins Family from West Virginia and Virginia.

The last confirmed thing that was found was a marriage certificate of Thomas F. Goyn and Polina Hubbard from 1869.

Thomas' parents are listed as Winston and Julia Goyn.

Thomas is listed as being from Floyd, Virginia

I believe i found a record:
http://genealogy.the-spanglers.net/FCVA%20Death%20Records.pd...

of Thomas' sister Sarah having passed away in Floyd. The family was going by the name Goings.

I've gone through several censuses and can't find the family anywhere.

The closest thing I found was a Wilson (instead of Winston) Idings and a Julia Iding living in Floyd with their two children Thos F. Iding and S.E. Iding in Floyd in 1850...Thos F.'s birth year is 1846 and I'm not sure when Thomas F. Goins was born....and S.E.'s year matches Sarah E. Goings (1848)...a shot in the dark...but I can't find anything else on the family....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have found your Thomas Goins and wife Polina. (on several census' she is listed as Perlina).On the 1870 census of Monroe Co., Va.. listed as Goeres); 1880 in Summers Co., va.; 1900 in Fayette Co., W. Va.; and 1910 in Fayette Co.. Their first child was son Samuel, born circa 5/1870. They had about 10 children. On the 1910 census of Fayette Co., son Samuel was with wife Bertha, who he married circa 1896. They had at least 8 children.

On some census' Thomas said he was born in Va, and on some he said West Virginia. Since he was born about 1845 and West Virgina wasnot formed until 1863, he obviously was born in Va.
