註釋

Henry Goings, the son of slave parents Abraham and Catharine Turner, was born in Virginia on the estate of James Walker, "within three miles of a place called Window Shades," (possibly the Windsor Shades plantation in New Kent County). 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.
