Sharon,

The Walter you mention could possibly be a relative? The Walter GOINS I have studied for two years now was born, according to National Archive Microfilm, in Belmont County, Ohio circa 1871. He, Walter, is the son of Walker GOINS who is mentioned on the CWSS site. I do have the families of Walker and Walter GOINS. Walker GOINS is the father of William, Wilber, Walter GOINS all of Belmont County, Ohio
