I am not researching this family, just entering information from one of my books "The History of Hardy County, 1786-1986" by Richard MacMaster:
"Captain Daniel McNeill advanced tallow, corn, bacon, pork, rye, and wheat to Nicholas Hedrick and rye, wheat, beef, bacon, flaxseed, and seedcorn to Shadrach Goings in 1820-1823. A note from Goings in 1826 requested 'Mr. McNeil I want to get a basket or to of corn till I can see about gitting me some and by so doing you will much Oblige Yours Shadrach Goings."
"Shadrach Goings had once worked for Captain Daniel McNeill II. In 1850 he was an independent blacksmith with his own forge in the Old Fields section of Hardy County, and reported doing horse shoeing and repairing bringing in about $500. He owned only 5 acres of land and cultivated all of it, but it was extremely good land valued at $2,000. Goings and his family owned 4 horses, 4 milch cows, 10 beef cattle and 18 swine. Apart from a family garden patch, Goings raised only corn and grew 700 bushels of it in 1850."
There were no other listings in the index on this name.
