I would think Mullins, Collins, and Gibson were common names everywhere in the U.S.

I guess Goins is the clinker.

"I guess Goins is the clinker."

I grew up about ten miles south of Goinstown, NC, which is near the VA border, about four counties east of TN. The surname is an old one, but the origin is uncertain. Many seem to believe that it was originally Creek... "Going Snake."
