Moses Going Sr (c 1742 - 1821)

Moses Going Sr, Monacan / Saponi (Eastern Sioux), b. ca 1742 Monacan Territory / Louisa VA d. aft 1821 ?GA was the "illegitimate" (according to colonial records) son of Agnes Going b. ca 1725 ?Henrico VA and unknown.

Note [*] so it appears from DNA testing of a patrilineal descendant, the biological father of Moses Going (and other of Agnes' children) was a Collins according to Hg YDNA; this branch of the Collins family are Native American - Saponi (Eastern Sioux), possibly Samuel Collins or William Collins who were both in Louisa VA around the time some of the children were born.
