SECOND GENERATION

7. Sophia "Goens" GOINS was born about 1798. She died about 1835. Her mother, Hannah Findley, brought a successful suit for her freedom in Henry County Court in August 1788. She testified that she was the granddaughter of two Choctaw Indians, James and Chance, who were brought home by Henry Clay, an Indian trader, from a trip beyond the Carolinas to present day Chesterfield County in 1712.
