Husband of Rachel Edwards Goin.
Son of Levi Sr. & Elizabeth Stallions Goins.
The spelling of last name will remain Goin on this memorial. Especially since it was given by most likely a family member who had first hand knowledge to have it engraved that way on the stone.

The Surname is Spelled "Goins", not "Goin".
This has been a Major Problem with this Surname over the years. The Town is correct at Goin, Claiborne Co., Tennessee, USA. Yes the Headstone is Misspelled, also.
And I think that the Stone Cutter, may have gotten the Town Name and the Surname misspelled on the Order. And I have seen this Problem in many of the Goins Surnames. As I have in other Surnames, in other's Person's, in my Tree.
