This is an incorrect spelling. I have seen it spelled Goynes/Goings and Gouynes the correct way as far as the family has it is Guoynes. (Page) #365 is Lewis Gowis/Govins. I think that this is also Guoynes. Or at least think he is related to Grandville. Early land records of Wells Co. has also a John Goins who I think is related. Contributed by: Janice M.
