His birth name was Elijah Turner. When Walker died, the slave family was broken up, and Elijah and one of his sisters were sold to the master's son-in-law, Pearson Pricket. Soon thereafter, the Prickets moved to Halifax, North Carolina, where Elijah was sold again, eventually becoming the property of Joseph Smith who renamed him Elijah Smith. When Elijah was approximately 16 years old, the Smiths relocated to Tennessee, and later to Florence, Alabama. Elijah's duties were confined to the house and stables, and as a groom and valet he frequently accompanied his master on extended journeys to Georgia, Louisiana and elsewhere. In Alabama, Elijah married Maria White the property of neighboring plantation owner James Jackson. Six years after Elijah's marriage, Joseph Smith died leaving his estate to his young widow. Two years later, when it appeared Mrs. Smith was going to move to Mississippi, Elijah decided to run away. He assumed the name of "Henry Goings," whose "free paper" he had purchased previously for $15, and fled North, leaving his wife behind. "Henry Goings" lived in various places in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, before settling in Canada, where he was still living at the time the book was published. The narrative mentions his homestead of a one acre lot and house in Chatham which he sold to pay legal bills. A newspaper advertisement announcing the sale of a farm belonging to Henry Goings appeared in the "Voice of the Fugitive," (Canada's first black abolitionist newspaper) on Dec. 16, 1852. In 1855 Goings was interviewed by Boston journalist Benjamin Drew, who published the interview under the name "Henry Gowens" on pages 138-143 of "A North-side view of slavery" (Boston : J.P. Jewett, 1856). "Gowens" states that he was born in Virginia and lived on a Lauderdale County, Alabama plantation and tells a story of a cruel overseer named Kimball and a slaved named Donnison. A variant of the story appears in Goings' 1869 narrative. 000453079 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453079 60010 $$aGoings, Henry,$$dapproximately 1810- 000453079 650_0 $$aSlaves$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000453079 650_0 $$aFreedmen$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000453079 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$zCanada$$vBiography. 000453079 650_0 $$aSlave narratives$$zUnited States. 000453079 650_0 $$aSlaves$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000453079 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xSocial conditions$$y19th century. 000453079 7001_ $$aSchermerhorn, Calvin,$$d1975- 000453079 7001_ $$aPlunkett, Michael,$$d1942- 000453079 7001_ $$aGaynor, Edward,$$d1959- 000453079 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGoings, Henry, b. ca. 1810.$$tRambles of a runaway from southern slavery.$$dCharlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 2012$$z9780813932385$$w(DLC) 2011036683$$w(OCoLC)752286963 000453079 830_0 $$aCarter G.
