Joanne, several years ago I researched and published a book about the community I was raised in...Goodwater, McCurtain Co., OK.This is in Choctaw country since 1832.Several Choctaw men (and their families) named Goings (sometimes Goins) came over the Trail of Tears from Mississippi.
My parents were neighbors of a Goings family in the 1920's.They were told that the original Goings in Mississippi was white and a Trader, that and he married into the tribe.
So there is no mystery as to how there were Choctaw men carrying the Goings surname....none of them were 'redbone'. The Choctaws were intermarrying with whites even before the Louisiana Purchase....even since the French settled there.Some of the Indians were more educated than the Whites they delt with.
