Jonathan A. Goyne was born 15 Nov 1820 in Warren (now Taliaferro) Co GA, son of Hiram Davis Goyne, Sr. (c1799-1852) and Mary (Polly) Allen (1790/1800 -1835/1837). At this point I have no information on the Allen connection, but quite a bit on the Goyne one. Jonathan A. Goyne married Mary Sheppard on 26 Feb 1845 in Houston Co GA. He was still in Houston Co GA in 1850, but by 1860 had moved to TX. He was joined there in the 1870s by his half-brother Francis Marion Goyne. Jonathan A. Goyne died in Hunt Co TX on 4 May 1899.
Jonathan's father Hiram D. Goyne, Sr. was born in Warren Co GA about 1799, son of William Goyne, Sr. (died 1817) and Nancy Shroder (c1768-1868). William's plantation was in Warren until 1825, when the area became Taliaferro County. He moved his family to Houston County about 1835/1837, just about the same time that Mary (Polly) Allen died. In the mid-1840s, a terrible drought hit Georgia and crops failed for 3 years in a row. This caused a massive migration westward. Probably due to this reason, Hiram D. Goyne, Sr. moved his family west to Union Parish LA in 1848. All of his children followed him except for son Jonathan A. Goyne. Hiram D. Goyne died in Farmerville, Union Parish LA on 2 Feb 1852. Jonathan A. Goyne was named as one of his sons in the estate papers.
I descend from Jonathan's brother, HenryB. T. Goyne (1822-1900).
