    Notes 
    • Laban Miles Hoffman, "Our Kin: Being a History of the Hoffman, Rhyme, Costner, Rudisill, Best . . . and Lineberger Families" (Charlotte NC: Queen City Printing, 1915), pp. 291-292:

      "Phillip Rudisill was a prominent citizen of Lincoln County NC and son-in-law of Philip Cansler, Jr. His children were: Marcus m. Fanny Killian; Philip, deceased; Eliza m. Eli Deal (Diehl); William m. Fanny Hallman and [female] Carpenter; Mary (Polly) m. General Joseph Beringer; Anne m. Robert Powell; Fanny m. Jacob Deal. . . . [292]

      Eliza Deal lived at Newton NC. She had two children: Fanny m. [male unknown] and went to Mississippi or Texas; Sylvanus m. [female unknown] and lived in Catawba County NC. I have failed to get the children of Fanny Deal. It is said that Sylvanus Deal, who was a prominent citizen and a Colonel in the Confederate Army, had sons at Newton in the mercantile business, but I have inadvertently overlooked my inquiry on this branch of the family. . . .

      Fanny Deal's husband was a cousin to the husband of her sister, Eliza. She with her husband and family moved to Marshal County MS in 1846, and thence to Prairie County AR in 1852. She died in Arkansas in 1874 [18 Apr 1872]. Her husband lived there until death in 1897 [19 Mar 1895]. She had twelve children . . ."

    • George W. Hahn, "The Catawba Soldier of the Civil War," (Hickory, NC: Clay Printing, 1911; reprint: 1979), p. 93:

      "Sylvanus Deal enlisted with the original Company A, and served faithfully with the same company till the close. He engaged in farming, at which he was successful. He was elected Lieutenant and held that position to the close. In his latter days, he was much afflicted, and died some years [before 1911]. He was a faithful soldier--a worthy and honored citizen of the county."
