Ellen Goynes b1820 Copiah/Claiborne kin to Eli Crowder & Jeremiah Sharplin
Hi
I am looking for information on Ellen Goynes who was born March 8, 1820 in Copiah Co Mississippi. She married William Womack Nov 1836 there in Copiah. Jeremiah Sharplin signed consent on marriage bond for their marriage. Then I find that Jeremiah Sharplin had married Elizabeth Goings in 1833 in Claiborne Co Mississippi. I feel that Ellen and Elizabeth may be sisters.
Jeremiah Sharplin found in 1850 Morehouse Parish, Louisiana census, listed wife Elizabeth born abt 1817 in Miss. Also living in their household was Martin S. Crowder age 23,born abt 1827 in Attala Mississippi. Martin was son of Eli Crowder. I later find Martin Crowder on the Choctaw Indian enrollment in Oklahoma, Indian Territory, card # 10201,Eli Crowder # 4447, Gibson Going # 1091 and so on. I know that Eli Crowder was married about 1832 to Martha Patsy Goings. Now, I am wondering if both Elizabeth Goings who married Jeremiah Sharplin and my Ellen were possibly sisters of Martha Goings? especially given the dates of marriage and birth years so close together. From what I can gather, Martha Goings Crowder had brothers, named Gibson Goings and James or Jim Goings. In looking at one Indian enrollment card # 4751 for a Gibson Goings whose wife was listed as Sophie, it stated that his father was John Goings (says John died 1896 Eagle Co) don't know if this is Eagle County, Oklahoma..haven't gotten that far in my research yet. Name of mother was listed as Montema (wife of John Goings). Gibson was listed as full blood Choctaw.
My Ellen Goynes (perhaps Goings) Womack was an Indian woman, I do know that for sure. I have a small braid of her hair, she died in 1893 in Jackson Parish, Louisiana where she and husband William Womack later homesteaded land. All of Ellen's children looked like full blood Indians. I have distinct Indian features.
Can anyone help me sort out this family, how is my Ellen linked to Martha Goings Crowder and Elizabeth Goings Sharplin? and Martin Crowder?
Any information will be greatly appreciated. There was a DNA test done on Ellen's great grand-daughter...mother to mother, can be seen on Family Tree Maker's DNA website and was sent to the Goins website although I think the Goins website is mostly male...haven't gotten that far yet due to busy at work. Kit # N84704. We have not yet done the full sequence DNA test, but that's next. Is there anyone female linked to this family of Martha Goings Crowder who can do a DNA test to compare?
Thanks for any help.
