     William Hunsucker II(1800-after 1860) m. Celia Brown(1798-before
1880 census) was the first in a line of three generations(William/John)
to pull up stakes in Moore County, North Carolina and move west,
specifically to a farm on the east side of the Cahaba River near Selma,
Alabama. His daughter, Sarah Hunsucker from my pedigree line, carried a
mystery to her death after 1910. No record of marriage can be discovered
that produced the children, Archibald Hunsucker or my great grandmother
Margaret Inez Hun(t)sucker YOUNG. The Bastardy Bonds of North Carolina
don't contain any reference to Sarah, Archibald or Margaret. The records
from Moore County Courthouse have burned twice. Family discussants have
pointed out that one unwanted pregnancy, let alone two, would have been
unlikely in such a religiously disposed family. Yet Sarah was remembered
in her later years when she had moved to Colony, Texas as the eccentric,
independent minded "Granny Odom" who smoked a pipe and ritualistically
drove a team into town dressed all in black on Saturdays. When her
daughter married, she spelled Hunsucker with a "t" suggesting that her
father was a cousin with the surname Huntsucker. Was Sarah from a
different family who married into the Hunsucker family. Or was she
William and Celia Hunsucker's daughter who became pregnant out of
wedlock? Did such an event motivate the family's move to Alabama out of
public embarrassment? By the time her parents moved to Alabama, Sarah
and Ephiram OLDHAM(no relation to other Oldhams in my line) moved with
them and eventually married ending up in Carroll Parish, Louisiana.
However, Ephiram Oldham is not the father of any  of her children.  In
Louisiana, Archibald married Matha Jane Arnold and Margaret married John
Albert Young.

coordinates and graphic display of the Williiam Hunsucker family farm.
