HUSBAND

Randal Currie

Note: It has been claimed that Randal and his sister Flora had brothers and sisters in North Carolina but no proof has been offered. A 1798 deed in Robeson Co. states Randal was his father's sole heir. Randalsville was so named because Randal Currie was the local postmaster and his post office was on/near his homeplace. He was also Justice of the Peace of Robeson County, until his resignation from that post in 1818.

WIFE

Nelly Johnston (or Johnson?)

Notes: Lacy C. Buie claimed Nelly's father was one Soloman Johnston who before the Revolution lived in the Philadelphus area near the headwaters of Bogie branch off Richland Swamp (southwest of the small airstrip there). There was a Soloman Johnston, Jr. and Soloman Johnston, Sr. in Bladen County (now Robeson) at that time. Soloman Jr. moved to Georgia after selling his lands to his son Soloman, Sr. Also see Nelly's will of 1846.
