Our apologies to Susanna for confusion about her ancestry, which we have only recently been able to document. We thought her maiden name was probably Wilkerson, but the names of Wilkens, Wilkins, and Wilkinson had also been suggested. Randle are listed in the Federal Census, indicating that both Susanna's and Oney's families could have been living there at the same time. No record of the marriage of Oney and Susanna in Rutherford County, North Carolina, has been found. Susanna's mother's maiden name is thought at this time to have been Puryear.
Research is in progress to document other information about Susanna's ancestry.
As for Oney, his middle name was Cypress. But it probably wasn't meant to be that. James Holder's Company of Infantry. We know that Oney signed his will with the name Randal. Descendants now spell the name in various ways, including Randall and Randle.
