From Happy Heritage, page 198, W. L. Lee wrote in his diary, Sat., April 3rd, 1875. "I dined today with Brother Isaac R.

Timmons. We together walked over to see Mr. W. D. McGee. Later in the day, I bonded Mr. Randelson M. Timmons

1000 acres of land at an estimated value of $25,000."

 

R. M. Timmons was a First Lt. in Company C (CULPEPPER'S LIGHT ARTILLERY) of the South Carolina First Artillery.

The SC First fired on Fort Sumter (12 Apr 1861) at the start of the Civil War. "This unit known also as Company C, Palmetto

Light Artillery, joined the Palmetto Light Artillery Battalion in November of 1861. Company C was assigned to the Department

of Mississippi and East Louisiana, in the Spring of 1863 and attached to McNair's Arkansas Brigade during Johnson's

attempt to relieve Vickburg from Jackson Mississippi. The unit was then sent to the Army of Tennessee for the fighting

at Chickamauga. It returned to the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. The unit fought at Charleston,

Jackson, and Chickamauga, then served at Mobile and surrendered in May, 1865. The unit was involved in the fighting

in the Mobile area where Lt. J.L. Moses was killed in action in one of the last battles of the war. Note that some sources

list this unit as converted to heavy artillery and fighting in Defense of Charleston Harbor and into North Carolina. It is

possible that both reports are accurate but certainly Culpepper's Battery was detached and sent west in 1863. This unit

was involved with McNair's Arkansas Brigade and the Battles at Chickamauga and Blakeley where its commander was

killed in one of the last battles of the land war. " http://batsonsm.tripod.com/b/abt1.html U.D.C.:Recollections and

Note on Child 12: Susan W. TIMMONS

L. W. Timmons family Bible

 

From M. Young -

Susan appears as S. W. with her husband, J. F. Jones (James

Ferdinand Jones), in the 1860 Williamsburg Co., SC, census and as

Susanna in the 1870 census, again in Williamsburg with her husband J. F.

Jones.

 

Note in the 1860 census that J. H. and H. H. Singletary were living with

J. F. Jones. They were the children of Rectina J. P. Gordon and

Ebenezer D. Singletary. [Check Ebenezer's will, 1849, for first name

information.] Note that Rectina J. P.'s tombstone says she was the

"consort of J. F. Jones". The L. N. Jones child in the 1860 census is

probably Rectina's.

 

Rectina is listed as R. J. Singletary in the 1850 Marion Co., SC census,

living with her brother, A. B. Gordon, and 4 Singletary children. The

first two children were not Singletary's, but Lewellen's. See the next

paragraph for how this is true.

 

Rectina J. P. Gordon is the daughter of Roger Gordon, Marion Co., SC,

who died sometime between 1846 and 1850, inclusive. In her father's

will, Rectina is listed as Rectina Jane Priestley Lewallan(sic). Also

mentioned were Roger Gordon's grandchildren, Jesse B. and Benjamin F.

Luallen(sic).

 

Also

Marion Co. Equity Records --Alfred B. Gordon was appointed guardian of

Jesse Burks and Benjamin F. Lewellen

on 25 March 1846, bondsmen: A.B. Gordon, Roger Gordon, and John W.

Singletary.

 

Thus,

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon was the child of Roger Gordon

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon married a Lewellen(sp?) [1st]

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon had 2 children in her marriage to a

Lewellen(sp?).

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon married Ebenezer D. Singletary [2nd]

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon had 2 children in her Singletary marriage.

 

Rectina Jane Priestley Gordon m. James Ferdinand Jones [3rd]

Rectina had more children by J. F. Jones and died about

1859....tombstone year.

Rectina's tombstone states her last husband's name as J. F. Jones.

James Ferdinand Jones then marries Susanna/Susan W. and has more

children.
