Note: The transcript of this record incorrectly lists “Senisa” as “Louisa”. Also, in the 1860 & 1870 U.S. Census William Randal listed his place of birth as Georgia. So this census was probably in error when it listed his place of birth as South Carolina.
After Senisa died, William then married Emily Akins (1819 - 1892)3) on Oct. 6, 1853 in Franklin, County, Georgia.4)5)
William and Emily had the following children:
