Gibson Gowan and Jean Hersholt were leading characters in the movie �Greed� which was produced in 1924, according to the Jacksonville �Florida Times-Union� edition of December 3, 1999:
�One of the most ambitious restoration projects in film gets its world television premiere Sunday, as TCM pre-sents a four-hour, 40-minute version of Eric Von Stro-heim's �Greed.�
The 1924 film by the legendarily stubborn Von Stroheim, whose career was marked by a chronic inability to work within the confines of Hollywood's studio system, has long been regarded as one of the classics of world cinema--even though the 9 1/2-hour version Stroheim first envisioned [as well as the 4 1/2-hour version he eventually submitted to MGM executives] was never released.
The studio eventually released a two-hour version. The story of a dentist and his wife who escape poverty when she wins the lottery, only to find their riches a decidedly mixed blessing, �Greed� shot to pieces all sorts of film conventions.
It also features one of the all-time classic endings, as the dentist, McTeague [Gibson Gowan] and his erstwhile-friend-turned-sworn-enemy Marcus Shoulder [Jean Her-sholt] face down each other in Death Valley.�

B. B. McGowen of Harlem, New York, age 29 died aboard ship in San Francisco Harbor between July 1 to October 13, 1850, according to the October 9, 1850 edition of the �Sac-ramento Courier.�
The month of October 1850 was an eventful and tragic one for San Francisco. On the morning of October 7th, the Steamship Carolina arrived from Panama, via Acapulco and San Diego, with 210 passengers and anchored off Rincon Point. When she arrived, fourteen of the passengers had died due to Asiatic cholera. Panama had just recently been infected with the dis-ease and it was subsiding by September 16th, but the Carolina had left on September 10th. There was also news of cholera �at Carson Valley, hundreds of miles in the interior, where it was said to have broken out among the overland immigrants."
Three days later [Oct 10], a newspaper reported "we have heard that there have been one or two cases very closely re-sembling cholera in the city, but the symptoms were similar to those exhibited in other diseases", and on Oct 13, "the [Medical] Society cannot ascertain that there has been more than a single case of Asiatic cholera originating in the city." There didn't appear to be any cause for alarm, yet.
On October 18th, San Francisco received the exciting news that California had been admitted to the United States. This had caused great joy in the city and parties and celebrations spread quickly. The jubilation lasted throughout the rest of the month. The formal celebration was scheduled for October 29th.
A reporter, along with the police, visited a "settlement con-sisting of fifty tents, all huddled together, on the square bounded by Dupont, Kearney, California and Bush streets" [Oct 20]. The occupants were primarily Hawaiians, or Kan-akas, and some from Sydney. The reporter noticed many were sick of a strange disease which caused death within twenty-four hours. It was later determined that the "strange disease" was cholera. The next day, in Sacramento, the news reported that "Two or three cases of cholera have appeared in town during the past two or three days."
On October 23rd, local news reported "Our citizens were startled yesterday morning by the report that a vessel had ar-rived in the harbor, having on board a large number of cases of cholera. Two men [Brooks and Buell] who came ashore from the vessel [schooner G H Montague] yesterday morning, and put up at the Sacramento Hotel, are now sick with cholera. That although cases of cholera have occurred in San Francisco it does not exist yet in epidemic form." In fact, according to the newspaper on October 28th, "In most instances the disease can be traced to Sacramento City�except in the case of the Hawaiians, near Bush street, among whom sickness had pre-vailed for several weeks."
The month ended on a sour note. On the afternoon of October 29th, after casting off from Central wharf, the Steamer Saga-more's boiler exploded. Between seventy-five to hundred people were on-board at the time, and at least thirty died in-stantly, many more wounded. A local newspaper declared it was "the most destructive to life which has ever befallen our city."
Throughout the next couple of months, the epidemic flowered and between 250 and 300 individuals perished in San Francis-co, and over 1,000 in Sacramento.

Clay W. Vaden, a writer for the Works Progress Administration Life Histories Collection wrote a series of articles entitled "Old Days in Kingston Mine Area" during the 1930s. One article featured Cobe Goins, a 90-year-old freighter who was interview by Vaden.
"Ox teams were not so fast as the trucks used now to haul ore from the mines," observed Cobe Goins, "but they got the ore out."
Goins drove ten yokes of oxen to freight wagons of seven tons capacity and with tires four inches wide. He later replaced the oxen with 12 teams of mules to each wagon. Goins hauled ore from the paying mines in Kingston district, among them the Brush Heap, Gypsy, Blackie, Lady Franklin, Bulloin, U.S, Cumberland, Calamity Jane, Keystone, and numbers of others.
When a $1,500 nugget was picked up at Blackie mine, seven miles north of Kingston, a rush to that district followed. The Bridal Chamber mine at Lake Valley was one of the best paying in this section of the State. Blocks one yard square of almost pure native silver were often taken from this mine, and it has been roughly estimated that it produced ore worth between five and seven millions of dollars.
"There was danger in freighting such rich shipments," said Goins, "and I always had a guard armed with a double barreled shotgun and two six shooters on my wagons, until the ore was placed on the cars in Lake Valley."
Goins recalls how the knowledge of ores was responsible for the amassing of a small fortune by Dennis Finley, now a resident of Denver. According to Goin's story, a Judge Holt had a lease on and was foreman of the Virginia mine, while Finley was one of the 30 workmen, although he had been foreman of another mine and was a practical mining man. One day Finley picked up a rich piece of ore and said to Judge Holt, "This is worth saving."
Judge Holt, replied, in effect, that if he wanted any advice, he would ask for it, and continued to throw [$300-a-ton] rock over the dump. Finley was given his 'time' in a few days. He obtained a lease from the Virginia Mine Company and hauled 13 carloads of high grade ore from the dump. He now owns a chain of stores in Denver. Before he made his stake at Kingston, he had not seen his family in five years.
Goins came to Sierra county about 1885, living first at Percha, north of Kingston. While several fortunes were taken out of the Kingston mines, he says that the big companies never found official veins, only ores in pockets and chimneys. The Virginia mine is still being worked."
No individuals of interest to Gowen chroniclers appeared in the 1830 census of Connecticut.

KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE
Edward Gowen Budd was born in Smyrna, Delaware in 1870 and died in 1946. He was the subject of a booklet written in 1990 for the Budd Family Association by Francenia Budd Towle, a daughter of Edward Gowen Budd. She wrote:
�Edward Gowen Budd was a descendant of Thomas Budd of England and of his son William Budd, who settled in Burling-ton County, New Jersey about 1678.
Edward Gowen Budd was born in Smyrna, Delaware in 1870 and came to Philadelphia at age 17 to seek work. After going to night school at the Franklin Institute and working for several manufacturing companies, he had saved enough money by 1912 to start his own business, the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company, now called the Budd Company.
Mr. Budd, was a gentle and attentive husband and father of five children, an extensive reader of biography and history, and a devout Methodist. He considered work the greatest privilege in life; any account of his life must center on his achievements in creating and building with steel.
Many people know that the Budd Company pioneered in the manufacture of stainless steel railroad cars, but few remember the historical revolution Budd created in building all-steel automobile bodies.�

Follows is the certain geneology of my known ancestors. I will also send a
more conjectural geneology.

(2) "A pension claim filed by a Mississippi black soldier's widow made the
same point [about black surnames being hidden from whites]. 'My maiden
name was Rebecca Upshur but I went by the name of my owner [Nathaniel B.
Lanier] and was called Rebecca Lanier.'" The Black Family in Slavery and

Charles became alienated from the family before Warren Charles was born,
and was considered the black sheep. He later changed his name to Charles
Emerson Goines. Charles Emerson Goines went to Janesville, Wisconsin in
about 1927 and met with Laurence and Lulu and all the children, perhaps to
effect a reconciliation. They met in a restaurant. His second wife was
Frieda S. Stamm, whom he married on January 27, 1937 in Rock Island
Illinois. There were no children by that marriage. They lived in Muscatine,
Iowa, where he was a church janitor.

My paternal grandmother, Ruth Ripley Clore Goines, died of cancer in Los Angeles in 1960.
My father's parents separated when he was young, leaving his upbringing in the hands of his vain, stupid, silly, alcoholic mother. My father seems to have only the bitterest memories of his childhood. He had no siblings.
From this side of the family, I claim the credit of even more ethnic variety than from my mother's. If Mom provided English, Scotch,
Irish, Welsh, French and American Indian, Pop tossed in Spaniards, Basques,
Jews, Cajuns, maybe even a Chinaman, yet another few assorted brands of Red Indians, and assorted Negroes. This last was kept quiet until only
recently. Not so long ago, in parts of this nation, one-sixty-fourth part
Negro blood was sufficient to allow a man or woman to be bought and sold as
personal property. Colored blood was not something to boast about, but more
prudently, to hide away. It is still not all that popular.
The reason why tri-racial ancestry was played down is clear. Throughout
most of American history, the legal, social, educational, and economic
disadvantages of being African-American were so great that it was
preferable for a person to be considered almost anything else.
During the height of segregation, apprehensions were justified. In
1811, for example, the Gingaskin tribe of Virginia's Eastern Shore had its
existence legally terminated by the state, largely because its white
neighbors claimed that the tribe had 'at least half' African-American
blood. In 1824, the Nottoway of Southampton County, Virginia, were
similarly terminated. An attempt was made in 1843 to deprive Virginia's
Pamunkey of their reservation on the grounds that the population had a
Negro admixture. On a personal level, discrimination also occurred. An
attempt was made to subject South Carolina's Elijah Bass and his daughter, Mrs. Thomas White, to the capitation tax imposed upon free persons of color.
Witnesses testified that the family was believed to have mulatto ancestry but had intermarried with white families, had never been compelled to have white guardians as required for free persons of color, and was received in the homes and at the tables of white neighbors.
A suit was pressed in Claiborne County, Tennessee, 1853-58, by the schoolteacher Elijah Goins, who alleged that the brother of his daughter's husband 'spoke . . . false, malicious, scandalous and defamatory words . . [alleging] the plaintiff [to be] a mulatto, meaning a person of mixed blood one degree removed from a full-blooded negro . . . as reason of which said several grievances the plaintiff hath been greatly damaged and subjected to the suspecion [sic] disgrace and infamy of a per-son of mixed blood.
The name Goines (also spelled Goins, Goin, Going, Goings, Goen,
Goin, Gowen, &c.) probably owes something to the Scottish name Gowen (See
Hunter Black Friday, &c. below). The Goin(e)(g)(s) family was represented
in 1980 by some two thousand souls, about equally divided in skin color
between black and white. Except for the outer integument, we look a whole
lot alike.
Since the eighteenth century, communities with a mixed ancestry and
an uncertain ethnic identity have been scattered across the Upper South.
Originating in Virginia1 and North Carolina, they spread significantly into
South Carolina,1 Kentucky and Tennessee, then developed offshoots into the
Deep South1 and states north of the Ohio River.1 Journalists in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries have called them 'mystery people,' and
advanced incredible legendary stories to account for their origins.
Anthropologists usually refer to them as tri-racial isolates.
The group names Guinea, Lumbee, Smiling, Redbone, Croatan,
Melungeon and Brassankle refer to larger, sub-racial groups of such people,
though they are sometimes also patronymics.
The Guinea appellation refers to a group of people of mixed white,
Indian and Negro ancestry who originate chiefly in West Virginia, Ohio and
Maryland. The primary attribution of the name is to the West Coast of
Africa, hence a slave recently imported from the West Coast of Africa. The
Spanish Guinao refers to peoples of AmerInd origin, specifically an extinct
Arawakan people of Venezuela. There may be no connection. West Virginia and
Maryland is the locus of the Goines family before the Civil War. It is
likely that the Goines' are of the Guinea people. The name Goines may have
evolved from Guinea, though again there may be no connection.
The Brassankles are one of a group of mixed white, Indian and Negro
ancestry in South Carolina. The name is also used disparagingly of a person
passing as white who is partially Negro. It is possible that it refers to
the brass shackle used to secure a slave in a coffle
The Redbones are of mixed white, Indian and Negro blood originating
in Louisiana.
Croatans are named after an island off the coast of North Carolina,
or the island is named after them. They are people of mixed white, Indian
and Negro blood in southern North Carolina and adjoining sections of South
Carolina.
Lawrence Archibald Goines, Jr., sent me this information on March 23, 1992, quoting from Black Friday Coming Down: Real Cops. True Stories,
by David Hunter (Berkley Books, New York, 1990, page 87)
The French passed through, but few stayed. It was the Scots, for
the most part, who took up residence. I have never been to Scotland, but I
have talked to those who have. They tell me that East Tennessee is enough
like the Highlands of Scotland to bring tears to Scottish eyes. There are
still annual Highlander festivals held each year in the region.
East Tennessee, of course, was already inhabited, not by one, but
by two ethnic groups: the Cherokee Indians and a little known people who
had been contemptuously called Melungeons by the French, who first
encountered them. The word meant "mongrel" because the French mistakenly
thought them to be a mixture of white and Indian races. 1
The Melungeons, the other ethnic group already here [East
Tennessee] when the French first arrived was so intent upon privacy that
they made everyone else seem outgoing. A dark people, with raven hair and
eyes that ran the gamut from black to pale gray to blue, they had such
names as Goin, Collins, and Mullins. Except in Claiborne County, where they
became politically powerful, they kept to themselves, even refusing to take
part in the political process.
This suited the canny European people. In 1834, the Tennessee state
legislature declared that the Melungeons were a "colored race" and as such
could not vote, own property, sue in a court of law, or marry a white
person. Their neighbors simply moved in and took their land by force, the
law reinforcing their actions.
Most of the Melungeons retreated to a place called Newman's Ridge
in Hancock County. During the Civil war, they carried out raids against
both the Union and Confederate forces. Today you will find many of their
descendants still there, a shy retiring people.
My mother was a Goin, descended from the Melungeons of Clairborne
County. There they were the political power. Fearing their neighbors, they
called themselves "Black Dutch," denying their heritage. It was successful.
It was only after I stumbled across the literature during a research
project that I discovered my mother was a Melungeon.
To this possible etymology for Melungeon, I will add another.
Interestingly enough, Bruce Rodgers in his lexicon of gay slang (The
Queen's Vernacular, Straight Arrow Press, 1972) under the entry "dinge
queen" (black homosexual man) gives a number of general slang words and
phrases for Negroes, one of which is mulengian. His entry reads, "known in
the Midwest, late '60s-71, from Sicilian from a previous derivation of
Italian melanzana = eggplant." Of course, an eggplant is an intense, shiny
purple-black, and is easily compared to the black skin of a Negro.
It is interesting that the date of birth of John Gabriel Goins
roughly coincides with this disenfranchisement, and that the history of
this branch of the family begins, ex nihilo, in Washington, D. C. at just
about this time.
A reliable source for this family's heritage is to be found in the
large body of anthropological literature on "mixed racial isolates," of
which the
". . . surname Goins (with its many variations in spelling) is the most
widespread and one of the oldest and most reliably indicative surnames of
tri-racial origin in the United States. I have documented its existence
among mixed bloods in more than thirty-five counties and seven states. The
Goinses were mixed in Colonial days in Virginia, and both of the Carolinas.
The name is found today among the Lumbee, the Melungeons, the Smilings, the
Red Bones, the Ohio Guineas, and in various other parts of Ohio, Tennessee
and North Carolina where none of these terms are used. Some are white, some
Indian, and some Negro, in current status.1 An investigation of the
Goinses, their origins and traditions, their dispersal through the South
and the old Northwest Territory and their status today would touch almost
the whole fabric of the tri-racial phenomenon." Calvin L. Beale, Economic
Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture. American Anthropologist,
Volume 74 Number 3, June 1972, page 708
The ultimate American originator of our patronymic was probably one
Mihill Goen (Michael Gowen), Negro, who completed his indenture in Virginia
several years before the colony established slavery by law.1 That he was
an indentured servant provides a tantalizing glimpse into his status and
origins, but nothing is certain. The biggest reason that people indentured
themselves was to get to America from someplace else. Sometimes they were
on the run, but generally they were just poor and wanted a chance at a
better life. The fact that Michael Gowen came here of his own free will, as
an indentured servant, shows that he was not brought to America as a slave.
This and other evidence provides good reason to believe that our Goines
ancestors never at any time were slaves, but were always "free persons of
color." Where did he come from? Why did he have a (probably) Scottish
surname?
25 October, 1657
Mihill Gowen, negro, of late serving my Brother Xopher [Christopher]
Stafford, dec'd., by his Last Will & Testament, 18 Jan. 1654, had his
freedom given him after the expiration of 4 years service to my Uncle
Robert Stafford. I Anne Barnhouse do absolve quit and discharge the sd.
Mihill Gowen from my service.
The earliest records surviving show one son, William (b. 1655) and
that child's mother, Prossa, (Rosa) the Negro servant of Mrs. Anne
Barnhouse.
16 September 1657
I, Anne Barnhouse of Martin's Hundred, Widow, have given Mihill Gowen,
negro, at this time servant to Robert Stafford, a male child born 25 August
1655 of the body of my negro Prossa being baptized by Mr. Edward Johnson 25
Sept. 1655 and named William & I bind myself never to trouble Mihill Gowen
or his son William or demand any service of them.
Contemporaneously with Gowen on the Eastern Shore was a man of similar name and circumstances, who may or may not prove to bear a connection to Mihil. Russell's Free Negro in Virginia mentions one "JohnGeaween being a negro servant unto William Evans" in 1640-41 and reports,
"Geaween, like Dregis, accumulated property, and purchased from Lieutenant
Robert Sheppard his child's freedom; by order of the court the child was
declared to 'be free from the said Evans' its father's master, and 'to be
and remain at the disposing and education of the said Geaween and the
child's god-father, Robert Sheppard."
The fate of John Geaween and his unidentified son appears to be
unknown. However, scattered land records created over the next sixty years
provide further information on Mihill Gowen.

[Grant to] Robert Hubbard, 37 acs. James City Co. in Yorkhampton Parish,
beg[in] at corner of [land of] Mihil Goen (Michael Gowen), Hubbard &
Francis Moreland. . . . Escheated from Mihil Goen, dec'd, by inquisition under Edmund Jennings, Esqr., 11 Sept. 1717.
Escheats [that is, the reversals of land titles to the colony] typically occurred when landholders died without legal heirs. Given the fact that Mihill Gowen left descendants, the escheat of his land may indicate a public view that he was not legally married--either to Prossa or a subsequent wife-and that his children were not considered legitimate under the law of the colony.
On the other hand, Anthony Johnson, a free black of Acco-mack County, was married to a free wife, Mary. They are believed to have been legally married, and he and Mary did have offspring.
However, when Johnson died, a jury of white men in Acco-mack County, assembled in August 1670 by the escheator for the Eastern Shore, John Stringer, decided that because "he was a Negroe and by consequence an alien," the land originally held by Anthony Johnson in Virginia should escheat to the Crown' rather than descending to his heirs. [Deal, "Race and Class," 270]
Almost nothing is known about the wives of the early-generation Goins. William, born 1655, may have married a white woman [a legal and social possibility in Virginia of the 1670s], as all males of the next generation are described as mulattoes. The logical conclusion is that to get from a man born in 1655 as the child of two Africans to men born in the 1740s described as 'about an eight[h],' most wives must have been white, Indian or mixed. Unfortunately, record loss creates some uncertainty whether the Goins of the next generation were William's sons. If Mihill and Prossa had daughters, these men, or some of them, could have been illegitimate offspring of the women of the family. Such an assumption is reasonable since that pattern prevailed among other free black families of the Eastern Shore and can be later documented in the Goins family itself.
A record created in adjacent New Kent County, two years after the land of Mihill (or Michael) was regranted to another Virginian, reflects more of the economic discrimination that was faced by such families. However, it does not speak directly to the ethnic issue-other than its indication that the family of this younger Michael was not considered white.
�14 July 1720 Ordered . . . that Peter Harrilson be Surveyor of the Lower prect [precinct] . . . and that he have Michl Gow-ing's Male Tithables, Mrs. Mary Anderson's Tithables at the Quarter adjoining to that, Geo: Butlers,
Henry Tylers, and his own Tithables to Assist him.�
New Kent County was formed in 1654 of land from York County and James City County. Hanover County was formed in 1720 from New Kent County. In that year "Michael Gow-ing" appeared as a resident of the new county in St. Paul's Par-ish, according to "The Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia, 1706-1786" by C. G. Chamber-lane. A reference to him appeared on page 93:
"In Obedience to an order of New Kent Court, dated ye 14th day of July 1720, it's Ordered that the precinct, whereof Jere: Parker is Surveyor, be divided into two precincts & that Peter Harrilson be Surveyor of the Lower Prec't, beginning at Ash Cake Road, thence up the road to Magirt's path, and that he have Mich'l Gow-ing's Male Tithables, Mrs. Butlers, Henry Tylers and his own Tithables to Assist him in the Clearing.�
Under Virginia's laws regarding the payment of tithes, white females were not liable far a head tax, although white females who were heads of households might be assessed for male family members or slaves. By contrast, non-white heads of households were charged with polls for the females in their family. Thus, the reference to Gowing's male tithables [in contrast to other families in which gender was not specified] clearly implies that he had female tithables also, and, thus, that his family bore discernible or community-recognized color.
Other eighteenth-century sources treating the Goins of Virgin-ia's Northern Neck are more explicit in their ethnic reference. For example, in Fairfax county in 1767, the seventy-year-old Charles Griffith testified that some forty-three years earlier (ca. 1724) he had been the overseer of one Phillip Noland in Stafford County, where one branch of the Goings then lived.
According to Griffith, 'when Noland told Majr. Robert Alex-ander that the Goings [who were then Alexander's tenants] were taking and surveying .. . Alexander's land . . . Alexander replied to the said Noland that he had a great mind to turn the Molatto rascals of[f] his land.'
Descendants of the Eastern Neck Goins family served in the colonial
militia, along with other free men of color.1 They fought as soldiers in
the French and Indian War and in the American Revolution in Virginia and
the Carolinas. They bought property, paid taxes, left estates, suffered
wartime losses, and were still free (if sometimes unwelcome) citizens at
the time of the Civil War. Whenever one of the Goins appeared in a
previously Indian-white settlement and was accepted by intermarriage, a
certain proportion of African-American heritage was introduced into the
group, even though it may have been very slight if the migrant Goin was an
octoroon (or even less). Some branches became light enough to be counted as
white by neighbors. Even in a single county, one branch might be labeled
white, another mulatto, and yet another black. . . .
Another Granville document, filed during the War of 1812, reflects
the extent to which marital alliances linked the Goings with other families
of mixed ancestry. Heirs to the will of Lewis Anderson were named as Jacob
Anderson, Darling Bass and his wife Rhody, Isaac Anderson, Peter Anderson,
Edward Going and his wife Josie, and Benjamin Mitchell and his wide
Winnefred (together with minor grandchildren).1 This pattern of repeated
intermarriages between families of both African and Indian ancestry would
occur time and again as these families dispersed to other frontiers. From
southwestern Virginia and North Carolina, the Goins/Gowen family can be
(and has been) documentarily traced in its migrations-to the northwest via
Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana; and to the southwest via South Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. (Volume 80,
Number 1, March 1992 of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly,
article by Virginia Easley DeMarce, " 'Verry Slitly Mixt': Tri-Racial
Isolate Families of the Upper South-A Genealogical Study," pages 18-22).
Patrick Goins, supposed to be of Ireland, on May 6, 1830, married Ann Hurst in Washington, D. C. These may be the parents of John Gabriel Goines, though it is not certain. There have been repeated references in the family tradition to a Patrick Goins of Ireland.
Among the family photographs is one of a Patrick Goins who is in appearance as Irish as Paddy's pig. He looks to be about fifty years old, is wearing an apron over his clothes and is holding an unidentifiable object [perhaps a shaving brush] in his left hand. The name "Patrick" is something of a family name, as well.
John Gabriel Goins changed his name to "Goines," adding an "e" sometime between 1860 and 1870. This change may have been done more to associate John Gabriel Goins and his wife with Washington, D.C.'s free colored society and less to reflect actual patrimony. That the original of the name "Goines" is "Goins" is not open to much dispute. I don't doubt that Patrick Goins married Ann Hurst in Washington, D. C. on May 6 of 1830.
If, however, he was originally Irish, he bore a name that had been common among mixed-blood peoples in the United States for almost two hundred years.
Though the Irish at that time in the United States and England were
deeply despised, they were still considered white, and it's not likely that
a pure-blood white man would have-or could have-publicly married a mulatto
woman in 1830.
The "Goines International Registry" published by Halbert's Family
Heritage in 1991 as part of its computer-generated World Book of Goines
provides statistical information about the family name, and claims (and we
here allow for some hyperbole):
Using a highly sophisticated network of computer sources in Europe,
North America, and Australasia, over 220 million name and address records
have been searched to locate Goines family members. The sources of these
records include electoral rolls, telephone books, city directories, and
miscellaneous public surname lists. The result of this research as related
to Goines single and family households is summarized in the following chart.
"Total Estimated Households are 840; Total Households in Registry:
737; Total Estimated Population: 2,436; Number of Counties, States,
Territories or Provinces where Households reside: 39; Most Populous County,
State, Territory or Province: Texas.
All are located in the United States. No Goines names are found in
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Ireland,
Germany or Austria.
Of course, any coat of arms or noble Old World lineage is
transparent nonsense; it is based on the conjecture that the name "Goines"
derives from the French "Godine" (Friend of God). There is nothing to
support this derivation.
There is, however, plenty of evidence in the family history of
deliberate obfuscation of antecedents. There was something-Negro blood-that
my ancestors wanted to cover up, and for good reason. I don't blame them
for a minute; in 1860 the soup�on of 1/64 Negro blood was enough to allow a
resident of slave states to be bought and sold as chattel, and if you could
hide it, you by God did.
However, in July of 1993, I met a young woman at a barbecue whose
name was Dale Going, of Irish ancestry, whose brother Robert N. Going of
Amsterdam, New York, is interested in the genealogy of his own family.
Furthermore, looking through the Dublin telephone directory in 1993, I
discovered a "Going." Only one, but there you have it. This does not
precisely throw our genealogy into a cocked hat, but it seriously messes up
the connection between what I know, what I believe to be true and what I
don't know. Patrick may be a red herring, and he may not. The Burch history
is Byzantine enough, what with cousins marrying after the 1690 massacre and
people changing their names and so on and so forth, so I don't rule out the
possibility that we have a Gowen ancestor as well as a Going ancestor, one
a son of Ham and one with the map of Ireland upon his face.
Looking through the 1993 Dublin, Ireland telephone directory, I
discovered a Rober Going, and wrote him asking if he knew of any Patrick
Going who had emigrated to the United States in or about 1830. On September
14, 1993 he courteously responded:

Dear David Goines,
Thank you for your letter. I have started to examine my copies of
the Going family trees but up to now have not found a Patrick Going who
would have emigrated in the 1830s. A number of Going, Goin, Gowen (and
other variations on the name) did emigrate to the USA in the 18 hundreds
particularly in the 1840s. Most of our family lived in Counties Tipperary
and Limerick-they were Protestant and we think of Huguenot extraction-there
were few if any Patricks-but a number of Johns, Roberts, Thomases etc.
I will continue to search and root out any thing that I find to
keep you but alas don't hold out much hope as the records are hard to
verify.
The name Going is almost certainly of French origin-Goin, and Coing
and Burgeoin. The Crest with palm tree and hand grasping palm branch is
said to be Goin since the Crusades when the Goin ancestors accompanied
Richard Cour de Lion on his Crusades. Motto Dum Sprio Spero (While I
breathe I live) or Serusus [?] Dumino [?] (Always Faithful). That is a
splendid picture of Patrick. What is he holding.
All the best
Robert Going

In passing, it might be noted that this small representative sampling of
the Directory is riddled with typographic errors, and requires careful
interpretation. This sloppiness is hard for me to understand, because from
what I know of such directories, the names are entered by subscription and
one would think that they were proofread by the subscriber, thus preventing
errors. But, this was evidently not the case here.
In 1850, Senator Henry Clay obtained a compromise, which provided that California would be admitted as a free state, that the slave trade be abolished in the District of Columbia; that New Mexico and Utah be organized without any prohibition of slavery, and a rigid fugitive slave law be enacted. Slavery, however, remained legal in Washington, D. C. until the end of the War Between the States. Any distinction, therefore, that a free colored person could draw between himself and the slaves whose condition could not but be an uncomfortable reflection on him, was no doubt made. This subscription by John Ga-briel Goins and his wife Augustine Upshur Goins to have their names included in the D.C. directory says, therefore, two things: first, that they were free, because it goes without say-ing that no slave would be entered in such a directory and, sec-ond that they had a surname and used it publicly. Slaves were discouraged from using or having a surname, and to have one further emphasized one's free status. The general degree of literacy among the Washington, D. C. Goines' also attests to free status, as many slave states had Draconic laws prohibiting teaching slaves to read and write.

William Henry Goines, MD (born in Washington, DC, December 6, 1859,
died in Arundel, Arundel County, Maryland on August 2, 1912 and is buried
in Woodlawn Cemetery, Washington DC) married Emma Morgan King (born
December 9, 1864 in Paris, Loudon county VA and died March 10, 1907 in
Washington DC; also buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Washington DC). They were
married on June 29, 1887 at the Berean Baptist Church in Washington, DC.

Emma Morgan was at least partly of Welsh ancestry. Though her
patronymic was Morgan, she called herself Emma Morgan King. Morgan was her
father's name, and King was her step-father's name. She was raised by the
Lewis family. This home is where W. H. Goines used to visit Emma (426 M
Street, NW). The Lewis family also lived at 321 - 11th St NE.
The pleasant tale that Emma Morgan King is blood relative to the
pirate Henry Morgan is contested by the fact that Henry Morgan had no
legitimate children, although he adopted two sons.

Witnesses testified that "they are all acquainted with old Tommy Goins the
grandfather of plff [plaintiff] and knew him in 1800, [that] he [was]
reputed to be distantly mixed blooded and that he voted, served on jury
[juries?], and was examined as a witness between white men, [during which
they] never heard him questioned or denied." The comments in court got
rather lively (e. g., did the plaintiff refer to his own cousin as "a
damned negro hog thief"?); but it was proved that the plaintiff, his
father, and his grandfather had voted, performed jury duty, and held such
county offices as constable. The defendant countered that he "did not
intend to charge and impute the legal disabilities of a mulatto but only
the reputation of the county." The local jury found for the plaintiff, but
the case was reversed by the Superior Court in Knoxville on the grounds
that the rumor had been common knowledge and thus the plaintiff sustained
no damages from its repetition.

"Mongrel" in French is bastard, melange, hybrid. That "melungeon" is
derived from "melange" seems quite possible. The Greek "melan" for dark
colored (as "melanin") probably enters into this etymology somewhere, as
well. Perhaps the "eggplant" argument is really a "melan" argument.
"Frank Grouard, the Grabber. Garnet, whose sister married Grouard, heard
Gallino, a Missouri River breed, called him Prazost (Ricker's spelling) at
Red Cloud Agency, saying that was Grouard's name when he lived up on the
Missouri. Nick Janis told Garnett that he knew a former steamboat cook
called Brazo (Ricker's later spelling), a colored man with several Indian
wives, working for the Missouri traders. Mrs. Nettie Goings says she and
Grouard were children of the same father, John Brazeau, a French Creole
employed by the American Fur Company at Fort Pierre and related to the
Chouteaus and Picottes. Stover says Grouard told him he was a cousin of the
mother of Frank Goings, a colored woman, and came from up near Apple river.

Dred Scott, a Missouri slave, sued for his freedom after his owner took
him into free territory. The 1857 Supreme Court case of Dred Scott v
Sanford held that Congress could not bar slavery in the territories. Scott
remained a slave because the Missouri Compromise of 1820, prohibiting
slavery from part of the Louisiana Purchase, violated the Fifth Amendment
by depriving slave owners of their property without due process of law.
Scott himself was held unable to sue on his own behalf, because he was held
to be property and not a citizen.
I'm not sure of the legal logic that denied citizenship to free
Black Africans, especially property owners, unless it was generally agreed
that Negros were ipso facto not fully citizens. I also do not know what the
legal logic was when free persons of color were stripped of their rights in
the 1840s.
It seems plain to me that the Dred Scott decision has more to it
than is often supposed. The extraordinary speculation in slave prices has
at least one foundation, that being the "greater fool theory," in which the
buyer believes that he is in an eternally rising market. "I may be a fool
to pay this much, but without too much trouble I can find a fool even
greater than myself who will pay even more." Slaves did have real value,
and when it is considered that a healthy breeding female could be expected
to produce four or five slaves for either the market or domestic labor, a
thousand dollars does not seem too high. "Fancy girls for fancy gentlemen,"
brought truly astronomical prices. Three to five thousand for a high yellow
beauty was not uncommon. Underlying the later prices of slaves is an oddly
serene confidence that, come what may, the buyer will not be left holding
the bag. The year 1857 is extraordinarily close to the beginning of the
Civil War, and it may be the case that slave owners may have thought that
the Dred Scott case was an invitation to the Congress to advance a general
slave buy-out. Since the center of the decision was that Dred Scott was valuable property, of which his owner could not be deprived except with
just compensation, it seems that the case was a heavy-handed hint to theNorth that if they wanted slavery abolished, and wanted to avoid war, they
could just buy all the slaves, free them and be done with it. I imaginethat the expense required would have been many millions, but as it turned out the war cost a lot more than that. In any event, the overture failed.
"In the matter of continued intermarriages with whites, see for example Eli Wadsworth's affidavit, 'Daniel Go-ins' Genealogy,' 21, stating that 'his grandfather, Wil-liam Goins was mixt , his grand mother Patsey Petty was white . . . her great grand father Edward Goins �was slitly mixt about an eight[h] her grand mother Celia Co-fer white, her father William Goins verry slitly mixt, her mother Kisiah Sinclare white,'" according to the �National Genealogical Society Quarterly,� Volume 80, Number 1, March 1992.

"In early Virginia, free nonwhite males were expected to do militia duty.
For example, in Accomack County in 1685, James Longo was fined for not
appearing for militia muster-according to Deal. 'Race and Class,' 425.
According to Breen and Innes, Myne Owne Ground, 26, it was 'not until 1738'
that Virginia statutes limited their participation by requiring free
mulattoes, Negroes, and Indian militiamen to appear without arms. The
statute, which is actually dated 1723, limited their militia service to the
position of drummer or trumpeter except in case of 'Invasion, Insurrection,
or Rebellion,' when they would be 'obliged to attend and march with the
Militia, and do the Duty of Pioneers, or such other servile Labor as they
shall be directed to perform.' See A Collection of All the Acts of
Assembly, Now in Force in the Colony of Virginia . . . (1733; reprinted,
Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1976), 334.
Whatever the law may have prescribed, these families apparently
continued to appear armed. See the general reference works on colonial
soldiers, such as those by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck, Virginia's Colonial
Soldiers (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1983).
In North Carolina, the same ambiguities existed. 'In the colonial
period, free Negroes served in the militia . . . with no apparent
discrimination against them,' according to Franklin, who presumably
included mulattoes and tri-racial individuals in this catchall phrase free
Negroes. By 1815, the sons and grandsons of men who had served as soldiers
in the Revolution were legally relegated to musician status in the North
Carolina militia. See Franklin, Free Negro in North Carolina, 102-3."

For a White man to publicly marry a colored woman at any time after about
the middle of the seventieth century was extremely rare, and also illegal
in many slave states. If the woman was a slave, the children,
too-regardless of the status of the father-were born slaves, as the slave
or free status followed the mother, not the father. See Warren M. Billings,
"The Cases of Fernando and Elizabeth Key: A Note on the Status of Blacks in
Seventeenth-Century Virginia," William and Mary Quarterly, 3d ser., 30
(July 1973): 467-74. Billings speculates that this case, in which Elizabeth
contended that under common law a child followed the status of the father,
may have contributed to the passage of the Virginia legislation which
determined that in relation to slavery, the child was to follow the status
of the mother. (DeMarce, 27).
The street number is probably a typographical error.
I believe that "bds" means "boards," i.e. that he is a boarder at this
address.
Notice that at this point the name is changed from "Goins" to "Goines."
The Washington directory has a number of "Goins" and "Goings" who, we may
safely suppose, are related in some way to "Goines."
The "596" address given here may be a typographic error.
Patrick Goins, supposed to be of Ireland, on May 6, 1830, married a
(mulatto?) woman Ann Hurst in Washington DC. These may be the parents of
John Gabriel Goins, though it is not certain.
John Gabriel Goins (born January 1836 in Washington DC) on October
6, 1859, in Washington DC, married Augustine Upshur (born March 1839 in
Washington DC).1(2) According to the 1900 census, Augustine gave birth to
12 children, of whom 9 were alive at the time.
The children of John Gabriel Goins and Augustine Upshur were:
(1) William Henry Goines (born December 6, 1859 in Washington DC - died
August 2, 1912 in Arundel MD). He married Emma Morgan King (born December
9, 1864 in Virginia - died March 10, 1907 in Washington DC) on June 29,
1887.
(2) Harriet A. Goines (born November 1861 in Washington DC)
(3) Sarah A. Goines (born March 1864 in Washington DC)
(4) John Gabriel Goines II (born July 1866 in Washington DC)
(5) Mary A. Goines (born 1869 in Washington DC)
(6) Charles Patrick Goines (born 1871 in Washington DC). He married
Lottie Adelaide Chisolm on June 29, 1899.
William Henry Goines, MD and Emma Morgan King had four children:
(1) Laurence Archibald Goines (born in Washington DC on July 23, 1888 -
died in Alliance, Nebraska, Box Butte County, December 18, 1932), a civil
engineer, married on July 29, 1910 to Lulu Mae Mead (born in Dry Creek,
Carbon County Wyoming on October 6, 1888 and died in Austin TX on February
26, 1978).
Lulu Mae Mead was the niece of Daniel Mead, the first director of
the Bureau of Reclamation, after whom Lake Mead is named. Lulu Mae Mead's
father was George Shakespere Mead (born on October 9, 1861 in
Thompsonville, Racine County Wyoming - died on December 26, 1940 in
Cheyenne Wyoming) who lived in Wyoming, and her mother was Carrie Mae Hill
(born August 14, 1862 in Johnstown, Rock County WI - died Austin TX January
19, 1953). They were married on June 27, 1887 in on the C.M. Morrison
Ranch, Ferris Tract, Carbon County Wyoming. Their other children were:
Minnie Ann Mead (July 27, 1890 in Ferris, WY - died February 12,
1908 in Bozeman MT). She married George Trone.
George Henry Mead (born August 18, 1892 in Ferris WY - died January
30, 1949 in Cheyenne WY)
Nellie Mead (born September 2, 1895 in Thermopolis WY - died
January 11, 1967 in Santa Cruz CA) married Earnest Joseph Pickens.
(2) "A pension claim filed by a Mississippi black soldier's widow made the
same point [about black surnames being hidden from whites]. 'My maiden
name was Rebecca Upshur but I went by the name of my owner [Nathaniel B.
Lanier] and was called Rebecca Lanier.'" The Black Family in Slavery and
Freedom, 1750 - 1925, Herbert G. Gutman, Random House, 1976, page 238
Ethel Easter Mead (born April 10, 1898 in basin WY - died in
Cheyenne WY). Married Otis James Kitchen.
The birth certificate of Laurence Archibald Goines indicates that
his father's occupation is Clerk Reusim (sic) (3) Office. He was born at
2040 17th St NW, Washington DC. He is registered as colored. Laurence
Archibald Goines claimed in adulthood to have been born and educated in New
York City.
(3) I don't know what this means.
(2) Emily (called Meg) Augustine Goines (born in Washington DC on January
25, 1891 - died May 19, 1892 in Washington DC). She is buried in Harmony
cemetery, Landover MD
In the Washington DC Evening Star the following notice appears:
On Thursday May 19, 1892 at 7 o'clock am Emily Augustine, infant
daughter of William H. and Emma M. Goines.
And thou art dead, as young and fair
As a flight of mortal birth
And form so soft and charms so rare
To soon return to earth.
Funeral from parent's residence 506 P Street NW, Sat. 21st, 2 o'clock pm
(3) Emerson Charles Goines (born June 17, 1893 in Washington DC - died
September 12, 1983 in Muscatine, Iowa). He, too, claimed to have been born
in New York City, and like his brother became a civil engineer. He married
Ruth Ripley Clore (1892 - died May 1960 in Los Angeles CA) in 1916 in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They had one son, Warren Charles Goines, (Born in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin February 6, 1921) and were divorced in 1927. Emerson
Charles became alienated from the family before Warren Charles was born,
and was considered the black sheep. He later changed his name to Charles
Emerson Goines. Charles Emerson Goines went to Janesville, Wisconsin in
about 1927 and met with Laurence and Lulu and all the children, perhaps to
effect a reconciliation. They met in a restaurant. His second wife was
Frieda S. Stamm, whom he married on January 27, 1937 in Rock Island
Illinois. There were no children by that marriage. They lived in Muscatine,
Iowa, where he was a church janitor.
(4) William Cecil Goines, MD a urologist of Washington, DC born on November
19, 1895 and died April 12, 1958 in Washington DC, and is buried in
Arlington National Cemetery. His education was interrupted by the draft and
he went into the Army in WWI.
He was a 2nd Lt. in the 70th Co., 6th M.G. Training Center, main
Training Depot, Camp Hancock, Georgia. Dates of commission October 26, 1918
through January 9, 1919.
After the war he returned to Howard University Medical College in
Washington DC and in 1918 got his degree as a physician and pharmacist. He
was twice married, the second marriage to Mildred W. (born September 24,
1897 - died December 2, 1976 in Washington DC, buried in Arlington National
Cemetery). Her address at the time of his death is given as 1010 S Street,
N.W., Washington D.C.
His first wife died, and there is no record of any children of that
union.

The following article concerning the work of David Lance Go�ines was published in "Art Business News" in its December 1995 edition.
"With the publication of his most recent poster ‑ his 162nd since 1968‑ the career of Berkeley, California graphic designer and journeyman printer David Lance Goines [b. 1945] has in many ways come full circle.
The poster celebrated the 25th anniversary of the University Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, a client for whom Goines has designed and printed some 30 posters in his 30‑year career.
Today, his series of posters for this client are among his best known, and were featured in the University Art Museum anniversary exhibition, which closed toward the end of August.
While still best known in the San Francisco Bay area, Goines has gained a national reputation among graphic design profes�sionals and poster aficionados and collectors. This most recent exhibition can only serve to enhance his profile, as the Univer�sity Art Museum has kept the entire exhibition online.
Not only can you take a Virtual tour" of the exhibit via Internet (http://www.uampfa.berkeley.edu),l they've made it possible to download the Goines designs without charge as a screen saver. The museum is reporting over 7,000 "hits" a week to their web site.
Another full circle in Goines' story: in 1966 the old University Art Museum, now a fire station, was the site of one of the most important graphic events of the 1960s: a show of Jugendstil [German and Austrian Art Nouveau] posters.
"This exhibition was seen by all of the people in San Francisco and Berkeley who were doing posters for rock 'n' roll events of the time," Goines writes in his notes on the poster. "As a press�man, I printed some of their psychedelic posters and later be�came a poster designer myself. "
Should the combination of graphic designer/journeyman printer fail to awe you, add writer, teacher, calligrapher, typographer, and eight‑gallon blood donor to Goines' credits.
Then consider that his book, "A Constructed Roman Alphabet" [Godine, 1982], received the 1983 American Book Award for design and that his work is in the permanent collections of the Cooper�Hewitt/National Design Museum, the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, and many others. He has over 60 oneman and group shows nationally and internationally on his vita.
Today his works are beginning to surface as collectibles in New York City poster auctions such as Swann Galleries and Poster Auctions International, side by side with other post World War II noted American graphic designers such as Milton Glaser, Seymour Chwast and psychedelic‑era artists like Wes Wilson.
Goines is a poster maker in the traditional sense. He has been called the Toulouse Lautrec of the 1990s. His ability to com-bine the commercial concerns of the client with his own uncompromised aesthetic integrity has created a true modern revival of the medium of fine poster art.
Like poster artists at the last turn‑of‑the‑century, his clients come to him with commissions for posters ‑ to announce events, publicize a business or sell products.
The only exceptions are a few posters he has published pro bono publico to express his own political or social views, such as his dramatic 1991 poster "No War," created in response to the Gulf War, but really a statement against all war. It received wide recognition, was published in several graphic design and printing magazines, and was included in the book "Angry Posters, Protest Posters of the Regan/Bush Era" [Perrigrine Smith, 1992].
Occasionally, one of his posters will become "cannon fodder for bored reporters," to quote Goines, such as his 1985 AIDS Prevention poster for the Student Health Service at Berkeley.
However, for the most part, his clients wouldn't be considered controversial, and most are local. Recent clients include the Berkeley Horticultural Society, the San Francisco Early Music Society, the Los Angeles Central Library, Bananas Child Care Information and Referral, and Mount Vedeer Winery.
Add to that list, of course, the Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse, another of Goines' well‑known poster series for a long‑standing client located just two blocks away from Goines' operations.
Yet, in spite of all the publications, accolades and awards, Goines still prefers to work alone, as designer, printer and pub�lisher at his business, the Saint Heironymous Press.
In a recent telephone interview with �Art Business News,� Goines commented with a laugh, "I guess one of the reasons why I haven't done more corporate work is that the corporate types say 'Have your girl call my girl to arrange an appoint-ment,' but I haven't got a girl! I also don't want to be told 'blue‑greens sell better than yellow‑greens'. They want to dictate my artistic choices."
His current poster project? A 24th‑anniversary poster for client and friend Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, to be published in an edition of 962 copies. Like all of his posters since 1992, only 100 will be signed and numbered by him, with another 26 signed and lettered A‑Z for his own use.
Editions that small mitigate against a broad national distribu�tion, but Goines has held his ground. "For one thing, large edi�tions are beyond my printing abilities," he noted. "I would love to have wider representation, but I'm just not willing to sacrifice the quality of my work to get the money."
The now discontinued "Aura Design" line from Graphique de France, Woburn, Mass., once carried five different Goines from his original unsigned editions, such as his 1978 poster "Dance: The Cinc Arts Ball," but they had to advertise them as available in very limited quantities.
The technical excellence with which Goines executes his posters is an inherent part of their appeal. His offset press is an ATF Solna Chief 24, manufactured in 1954. He does the entire print run single�handedly. The only exception he makes is for some posters that include foil stamping, which is done by a col�league at another firm.
His use of photo‑offset lithography is also unique. Instead of using the usual four‑color separation process, which results in an overall dot screen, Goines makes separate solid tone plates for each color he uses, ranging in number from as few as three to as many as 20.
The colors and juxtaposition of colors created in this often painstaking manner are extraordinarily subtle and complex. Goines' use of this solid‑color offset lithography process is en�tirely personal, and involves as high a degree of craftsmanship as any of the more traditional methods of fine print�making. such as stone lithography or silk screening.
"The colors are built up using the printing press as the tool," Goines explains. "Similar methods were used through the 1920s, so that my design process mirrors that used by such poster artists as Ludwig Hohlwein."
Indeed, in the interview preface to the book Goines Posters (Alphabet Press, 1985), he stated that he "consciously emulated the work of those artists whom I admire, most notably Ludwig Hohlwein, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Hans Rudi Erdt, Al�brecht Durer, Hokusai and Hisoshige."
Perhaps he was referring to the German artists Hohlwein's and Erdt's flat color fields and simplified design; the refined ornamentation of Mackintosh's Glasgow School; Durer's atten�tion to detail; and the delicate openness of Japanese prints. Whatever the influences may have been, Goines has developed his own unique and recognizable style.
"I'm not aware of any other artist who also prints their work us�ing an offset press. It isn't something they teach at art schools," he notes. "But I am aware that printing is undergoing a dramatic change in technology. Even Kodak sees the length of time limited for the use of photographic film in printing. Just look at how quickly current offset methods replaced the letterpress. In five years I may not be able to get the supplies I need."
Both Goines' signed and unsigned posters, especially those pro�duced before 1975, have become highly valued in the poster collecting market. Early, rare signed posters now retail from about $500 to a high of $3,000 for the 1973 poster for his own first retrospective exhibition.
Several signed prints, and a few of his unsigned editions, are no longer available at retail at all. Even early unsigned posters can retail as high as $2,000.
For posters produced since 1975, almost all signed examples retail from about $500 down to $150 for the most recent, and unsigned ones from about $300 down to $35. His editions rarely exceed 3,000 total impressions, with 1,500 to 2,000 being the most common print run and with most of the print run becoming the property of the client to do with as they see fit. Some of his posters are so popular they have had more than one edition.
However, with very few exceptions, no editions other than the first are hand‑signed.
Some time ago, in response to evidence of pirating, he licensed Portal Productions to reproduce a certain number of his posters. Discontinued in 1987, these editions were printed four‑color process photo‑offset, and therefore have the dot screen on close inspection, allowing a collector to easily distinguish them from the originals. They were also produced five percent larger than the originals and on thin glossy paper stock as opposed to the Mohawk No. 80 Superfine Cover that Goines prefers.
Long‑time, loyal Goines collectors who want to be ensured of receiving a hand‑signed copy of each poster he produces at a special price of only $100, actually have a standing subscription with his exclusive gallery/distributor Dow & Frosini in Berkeley.
For over 20 years, from 1972 until its closing in 1994, Goines' exclusive gallery was Thackery & Robertson, formerly called The Poster, in San Francisco.
"I like having an exclusive gallery," comments Goines. "I like the fact that they are local, and they do a good job."
Dow & Frosini owner Todd Padgett notes, "We've had a rela�tionship with David for over 20 years, selling his unsigned posters. When Thackery & Robertson closed their doors, we were pleased to be asked to take their place."
Dow & Frosini specializes in promoting Bay area artists, and Goines has become one of its main artists. Padgett is in the pro�cess of compiling a new book on Goines' posters, this time with commentary on each one written by the artist.
"It is fascinating to see a second generation of enthusiasts buy�ing David's work. The students here in Berkeley buying his posters today are the sons and daughters of those buying them 20 years ago. They grew up with them in their parents' home and are now discovering them for themselves," Padgett says.
Goines had another observation about the same phenomenon. "Artists, writers and others in the arts never seem to have very long careers," he states. "I feel lucky to see my work moving beyond a full human generation."
It's another way in which Goines' career has come full circle, even as his reputation continues to spiral outward from the Bay area.

OBITUARIES
A.T. Goins, 87; One of Few to Survive White Mob's 1923 Rosewood Massacre
By JON THURBER, TIMES STAFF WRITER
A.T. Goins, one of the few survivors of the 1923 massacre by a white mob in the small Florida town of Rosewood that left the predominantly black community in ruins, has died. He was 87.
Goins, who was awarded $150,000 in compensation by the Florida Legislature in a highly publicized fight in 1994, died March 24 in St. Petersburg. The cause of death was not announced.
The massacre, documented in the 1997 movie "Rosewood" from director John Singleton, began on Jan. 1, 1923, when a white mill worker's wife in the nearby town of Sumner, Florida claimed that she had been attacked by a black man. A
posse was formed to search for the assailant and went straight to Rosewood, a
community of perhaps 200 residents.
When no suspect was found, the posse turned into a vigilante mob, pulling
blacks from their homes and burning structures. The siege went on for six
days and the mob grew in size, eventually numbering as many as 300 people.
While the official death toll was six blacks and two whites, black
descendants of Rosewood have alleged that many more were killed and their
bodies hidden in mass graves.
Three days into the siege, the mob came to the home of Sarah Carrier, one of
Rosewood's leading residents. The mob had called for Carrier to come out of
her house and she refused. Goins, Carrier's grandson, was 8. He was hiding
upstairs with several other children.
In testimony to the Legislature, Goins recalled the assault on the house.
"Grandma didn't want to go out, so the mob just started shooting in the
house," Goins said. "Grandma got hit in the head with a bullet."
Goins' grandmother was killed. So were two members of the mob, who were shot
by Sylvester Carrier, Sarah Carrier's son, as they tried to enter the house.
"They bust right in that front room and came right into the hallway," Goins
said.
Goins and several other children escaped from the house and were led by an adult to safety in the nearby woods.
A train eventually came and took the survivors of the attack--mostly women
and children--to Gainesville. Goins said that he believed the train was sent
by a white businessman who had dealings with the people of Rosewood.
Black descendants of Rosewood maintained that the attack on the mill worker's
wife was carried out by the woman's white lover, a railroad worker, and that
she made up the story of the racial attack in an attempt to save her
marriage.
Goins said that his sister told him she had seen the woman's attacker. "My
sister said she seen this man go out and step across the fence," Goins said.
"She said it was a white man."
The survivors of the Rosewood massacre fled to various parts of the state.
Goins returned briefly to the area as a teenager when he was playing for a
baseball team.
"That was the last time I've been to Rosewood," he told the St. Petersburg
Times some years ago. "I don't want no part of Rosewood."
All the survivors kept quiet about the events, fearing repercussions.
That silence lasted until the early 1980s when a reporter for the St. Petersburg Times happened upon the area near Rosewood and asked residents why the area was all white. Shocked and intrigued by the answer, reporter Gary
Moore spent the next two years searching for survivors and piecing together
the Rosewood story. A segment of CBS' "60 Minutes" later explored the
massacre and the long-buried secret.
By the early 1990s, there were calls to provide survivors of the massacre and
their descendants with restitution for their suffering.
The state Legislature appointed a team of scholars from several Florida
universities to investigate the claims. The scholars determined that police
in Rosewood "failed to control local events" and failed to contact the state
government for help. Despite some legislators' reservations, administrative
analysts recommended that damages be paid.
Each of the eight known survivors was awarded $150,000. Another $500,000 was
designated for families that lost property in the massacre and a $100,000 fund was established for minority scholarships.
Goins is survived by his wife, Anna Maude, a sister and nine grandchildren.

Arthur Goyne, age 81, a Navy veteran of World War II, was interviewed for his recollection of the surrender of Germany in the waning days of the war. "People were hilariously overjoy-ed--they were happy as hell," he recalled to a reporter for the "Pensacola Journal." The article published May 8, 1995 men-tioned that Goyne, a Pensacola resident had spent much of the war on an amphibious ship in the Mediterranean Sea.
The obituary of Mrs. Elizabeth Gowen Richardson appeared in the August 17, 1994 edition of the �Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sen-tinel:�
